I have found this error in my witness:

Code Select Expand

_consecutive_production_enabled || db.get_dynamic_global_properties().current_witness != scheduled_witness: Last block was generated by the same witness, this node is probably disconnect
ed from the network so block production has been disabled.  Disable this check with --allow-consecutive option.

Is it related to p2p problem?

Thanks I will try that next.

Has anyone found a way to reduce the log size? Right now I have a loop running to delete the old logs, but I imagine there must be a setting somewhere. I have tried

Code Select Expand

cmake . instead of

Code Select Expand

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug but that didn't help. Also if it is helpful to anyone the loop is

Code Select Expand

while sleep 1800;do rm p2p.log.*; done and i just have it running in the p2p log folder to delete the archived logs every half hour or so.

Run out of disk space  :(
p2p.log too large.

Same here, p2p.log grows like 1Gb/h
have you tried setting log level from debug to info? I'll try it now.

On my side it's 4~5GB/h for one node. Hadn't had time to tweak the settings. Just mounted a larger partition, will try.

setting log level from debug to info for [logger.p2p] reduced its size about an order of magnitude.

Are existing 0.9.2 delegates automatically imported as a witness or is it required to upgrade and create witness object?  I'm hoping to skip sorting through the hundreds of balance id's for a proper balance that also existed on the 20th.

Thank you betax, your guide was very helpful. +5%

All existing delegates are imported as witnesses.  When you get your node set up let us know and we will vote you in.

I believe I'm up now.  ID: 1.6.1624

seems I don't have my owner key imported into my vps.  I won't be able to vote till after work.  I'm sure someone else will vote you in.

You may need to import the ACTIVE_KEY too!

@betax: could you put your tutorial into the github wiki please? If not, may I do it for you?

if the --resync-blockchain is specified, does that prevent the witness form signing blocks?  I coudn't get my witness to start signed by then tried removing that and it seemed to work.  Also, if it has to resync from scratch (like empty folder) then it also doesn't seem to sign blocks.    Not 100% sure but it seems I have to:

get the witiness all synced up.. then shutdown gracefully with a ^C (which doesn't always work btw, it sometimes says DB is corrupt and restarts from scratch) , then start it again , at which point it then starts to sign blocks.

I've seen that issue, but it's not 100%.  For example dele-puppy is currently producing blocks and was launched with a --resync-blockchain.  I seem to have noticed it more on my home networked boxes.

That's odd spartako I see

But I don't see you in info.  I do see double representations of 1.6.1526 1530 1537 and 1595 so maybe it's a display issue.

I have removed my votes and voted again and now I can see in info, probably a display issue.

In regards to checking witness stats.  I don't think there is currently a way to see them directly.  You can use the get_witness command to check that the next secret hash and previous secret are changing.  Watch your witness node for your witness number or use the gui and go to the block explorer page.

Also great job betax, and thanks for the nodes abit.

Ok, interesting tricks ;)

Thanks puppies!!!

Just back from holiday and I have good internet connection now.

I followed various tutorial (thanks @betax for your tutorial, deserves Brownies) and now I have spartako witness ready:

Code Select Expand


get_witness spartako
{
  "id": "1.6.4231",
  "witness_account": "1.2.72727",


I voted for myself but I don't see it in the current active witness list, please someone give me some love ;)

There is a command where I can see the blocks produced by a witness and the missed blocks?
