Very nice charts, what do you think about netdata for real-time Bitshares charts? https://github.com/firehol/netdata/

Thoughts on utilizing a BOINC project to distribute the load generating software required to push the tx/s to new heights? https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@cm-steem/brainstorming-boinc-projects-006#@cm-steem/re-cm-steem-brainstorming-boinc-projects-006-20170326t013749374z
Mentioned the idea on beyondbitcoin #200 too: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@glitterfart/beyond-bitcoin-radioshow-2017-03-24-gridcoin-raw-recording-for-impatients
What I took away from that conversation is that BOINC would not be suitable for the BitShares testnet to spam the network for testing b/c BOINC projects are geared towards problems where longer term application of CPU resources is required, as opposed to the burst requirements of the testnet. Testing on the testnet is not a continuous, ongoing operation.
I'm not very knowledgeable about BOINC, just commenting on what I heard in the mumble last Friday.
If there's not a ton of voter participation to begin with then surely DPOS is not an effective mechanism for voting witnesses into/out of power? Currently witnesses are voted in and unless they turn malicious/incompetent they never lose their position, thus competition stalls and witnesses contribute the minimum required of their role. By introducing vote degradation(over a long time say 6 months), witnesses would have to at least post an update once in a while to show they're still alive in the community. It'd revitalize the democratic aspect of DPOS.We've already got an EBA (OPEN.GRC), issuing an UIA would inflate the GRC coinsupply (unlikely to fly with the GRC network unless we burnt GRC before project-raining an GRC UIA).Quick update regarding the 'GRIDCOIN' MPA - The Gridcoin price fluctuated, triggered a black swan state and the asset has been stuck in said state ever since: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,22733.msg299091.html#msg299091I do think a UIA fits more in Gridcoin's situation, perhaps with a special owner/committee like the STEALTH asset (check https://cryptofresh.com/u/stealth-mgmt , the owner is a multi-sig account, automatically controlled by top 5 holders)
It has however opened the door to new developments by PC regarding MPA resiliency to black swan events. Once these new changes are in effect, the Gridcoin community will reactivate the market pegged asset, requiring more witnesses to produce the price feed.
Prior to the black swan event we only had 2 or 3 witnesses out of 25 (27?), whilst changing the witness count may be a dangerous idea the concept of vote weight degradation over time for witnesses and committee members is still sound.
What does everyone think?
We're waiting for the blackswan hardening features to be implemented within BTS early this year, when the changes are implemented we will revive the GRIDCOIN MPA even if it's risky.
This is off topic though, back to the main point - vote degradation!
People are talking about increasing the block rewards for witnesses to encourage more active/productive witnesses: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23702.0.html
Surely degrading votes over say 4-6 months would encourage witnesses to continuously campaign for their positions and open the door for new witnesses to potentially gain power?
Getting witnesses to add price feeds for the GRIDCOIN MPA was like pulling teeth - witnesses should be far more active & inactivity should have consequences, even if their witness node is healthy.
I think vote degradation may be a problem if there isn't a ton of voter participation to begin with. Also, I think @pc made a good argument against degradation earlier in the thread.
By the way, I wonder if witnesses have been reluctant to offer price feeds for Gridcoin MPA because they think MPA is the wrong way to go. I tend to agree with that. A cryptocuyrrency is not the best use case for an MPA, especially an MPA that will have difficult gaining liquidity. Why not issue a UIA? You could get rid of your blockchain and replace the coins with a committee-controlled UIA. Then you could focus on maintaining/developing your BOINC software rather then futzing around with a blockchain, which has nothing to do with your core competency. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
Managed to add a drop down menu thanks to your suggestion:I hope to add in new drop-down menus to the right of 'Deposit/Withdraw', linking to the other web wallets (OpenLedger, FreedomLedger, BTSABC, etc) and to BOINC/BTS/Gridcoin community links. The *.JSX is a tad confusing though..I think (but not sure) something similar to this should work:
https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene-ui/blob/master/web/app/components/Layout/Header.jsx#L227
It can be used later somewhere in return (line 246).
Cool, I'll try getting this to work this weekend. I also need to uplift the customizations to the latest BTS GUI release.I hope to add in new drop-down menus to the right of 'Deposit/Withdraw', linking to the other web wallets (OpenLedger, FreedomLedger, BTSABC, etc) and to BOINC/BTS/Gridcoin community links.
