Title: Irregular block production by Delegate
Post by: bitcoinerS on July 29, 2014, 06:11:25 am

My delegate node keeps missing blocks at seemingly random times. I need to track down what may be causing it.

Code: [Select]

>>> blockchain_get_delegate_slot_records bitcoiners
...
    "start_time": "20140729T040100",
    "block_producer_id": 875,

Same for me, I'll try to track it down, too, but right now everything looks normal, so not sure why it happens...   ???
(ntp synchronized, currently 40+ connections, just missed one and then everything back to normal)

Is there a way to know the number of the missed block? The output of

Code: [Select]

blockchain_get_delegate_slot_records currently only lists the time, which is not very practical (would it be possible to add the block # to the output of it?)

Same here. I left for work today and I had 25 missed blocks total. Came home and now I have 45 missed blocks total.  Wallet was unlocked for up to 3 years 2 months. block production was true. 41 connections. Cant figure it out. Reliability just dropped to 92% becasue of the last 2 days.  5 days it was running fine and now I am getting missed blocks. How could you tell if someone is DDos'ing, or doing something else nefarious?

39 blocks missed over the last 2 days. Anyone else have great production and then suddenly start missing too?

I notice I sometimes receive huge early morning spikes in network traffic...I also notice that bter seems to do their  delayed withdraws overnight.  Just an observation.
