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..

 

@Bytemaster are you going to launch a new test net or shall we all stick with puppies ?

Any system will eventually provide auto censorship, due to ethical issues. In the original op we see somebody asking what cashier will be fired next, what are the consequences of this?

If a person working for the company is responsible for this, it will have a negative repercussion on the company, as nobody will think twice to work there and many people will not want to shop there.

Prediction markets on illegal issues or bullying will be quickly put down. Like everything, if is in the open there are always means to investigate and find, much better than underground. Bitshares is not anonymous after all.

Sadly there is always going to be corruption and people will try to manipulate the markets, but this is what we are trying to fight by decentralising.

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.

From the comments with logs, the blocks I could see were ~ matching my current blocks so I don't think we forked.

Edit.. amazon option has more ram

FWIW -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.

[1] http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/#Linux
Not all locations have the G series instances available.

  G for Guthrie ?

My test witness missed all blocks since I haven't enabled block production.. 

I did not enable block production, I just vote myself in.

Who of you can recall bts testnets 1 through 12?

I do !!
