I have to tell the people that bytemaster and his philosophy is good, also the software, but that the community is mostly selfish, non-charity, pennyfaces who pretend to be anarchists but are only in for the money.
-10%..
I feel that you missjudge this community...The ones who were just in for the money dumped their BTS a year ago at very high levels and never came back..
The ones that still post here after all the dumping are people who do care but cashed their profits or the ones that believed all the hype and didn't dump when they should have done like the rest. It is absolutely normal many people to be frustrated because day by day for the past year they see their money dissapear and constantly make one loss after the other because of the unstoppable dumping..And despite all their losses they are still here..If they didn't care they would have already moved to somewhere else.. It is very easy to judge others of greediness when you cashed your profits already..
What pisses me off is that most people that made their huge profits out of BTS in reality it appears that they moved to the next thing and never really cared about BTS. Otherwise they would support it by at least buying back at these levels..So we are just left here with the hope of attracting new people in the future..anyways..
I always thought and still think that BTS is a strong buy @ 2900 satoshis but that is what destroyed me really...
For those getting error messages about your "clock" being out of sync, the issue was a bad error message. Once every maintenance interval the blockchain skips some slots (currently configured to be 3) so that nodes can perform computational tasks that may take longer than a fraction of the normal block interval to complete. These tasks include tallying votes among other things. I have revised the error message to be a status message indicating that it is probably just a maintenance interval.

I finally managed to get it working on puppie's test net. I'm embarassed to say what was causing all of my difficulties, so I won't!
Tomorrow is another day, and I will have much better luck I'm sure.
I was producing blocks, but every so often I had the ntp error.
I have seen that NTP error from time to time myself. We will look into it.
Vikram and I have reviewed the testnet and have identified a patch that would allow us to revive the existing test net by specifying a checkpoint. Once we are sure we can revive the testnet we will start a new network with at least 100 witness slots so that it is less likely for a few bad apples to result in this issue.
It could be that you produced blocks on a fork. If any of you have evidence that you were on a fork (have a block that wasn't included in the main chain) then that is something I am very interested in.
So what is the state of things at this point? I'm 90% finished rebuilding fresh from src (I presume there have been many changes since 8/9) on 2 systems.
Are you guys using the procedure in the readme for "Running private testnet", or xeroc's process for importing balances from 0.9.2?
Edit.. amazon option has more ramFWIW -Looking at my Azure VPS for Graphine, I have the G5 machine size option: 32 cores, 448GB RAM [1]
No, I'm not currently running this size during testing.

Not all locations have the G series instances available.
My test witness missed all blocks since I haven't enabled block production..
Who of you can recall bts testnets 1 through 12?
