Technical Support / Renaming accounts
« on: September 19, 2014, 08:22:57 am »
Hi,
I'd like to know if when I change the name on my account, it changes everywhere in the system, or if it only changes the label in the client?
Would I be better off starting a new account with the new name, so that it's created properly with the new name?
Please advise.
Thanks,
-F

Technical Support / Make an old account a sub-account of a new account?
« on: September 18, 2014, 03:24:50 pm »
Hi,
In my infinite wisdom being new to this, I created an account on my desktop box as a delegate. Now I learn that delegate accounts are best as sub-accounts of a main account.
So my question is: Is it possible for me to create a new, non-delegate account, & set the delegate account as a sub-account of the new account? And if so, how?
If not, what are the pros & cons of running as a delegate on an entirely separate account?
Please advise.
Thanks,

General Discussion / Re: I want to run a seed node
« on: September 18, 2014, 09:04:56 am »-Where do I increase the max connections?

Right now I have this script using the delegate startup instructions from github.
...But when I run it, the terminal stays in gdb mode, & instead of leaving me with a '$' prompt, it's "(gdb)", & I have to type 'quit' to get back to bash. Then that exits the process. Not quite right.
What's the right way to start & stop it?
And I don't see where to get the port info, either in the docs. Could someone tell me about that please?

« on: September 18, 2014, 07:30:29 am »- open up firefwall ports/router forwarding (if necessary)
- (optional) increase max number of conections
- post pm to dacsunlimited and tell them the ip (there's is also a thread somewhere about it)
I got the client installed, now I have a few more questions:
-What commands do I need to run in an init script to be sure it starts each boot?
-What ports do I need to open for it?
-Where do I increase the max connections?

I got it installed, had to remove apt-pinning .pref files entirely then install it from the ppa. Then I copied the apt-pinning .pref files back to the server so it wouldn't upgrade & prevent booting.
I'd still like to be able to pin properly so that the bitsharesx packages & their dependencies are upgraded automatically, while not upgrading the rest of the system such that it breaks.
...But for now I'll be happy with this.

General Discussion / Re: Development progress on the backup restoration issue w/ multiple accounts
« on: September 18, 2014, 05:09:23 am »I think it would be good to see everyone's opinion and where people are having the most problems, so that the developer's time can be focused towards the biggest issues.
If it works out that such a mechanism is eventually implemented, I think it might be helpful in order to both reduce vote manipulation, & to raise funds to cover development costs, to allow micropayments to be associated with a user's vote. Maybe allow a vote's monetary contribution to be increased by x amount, so people can raise their amount each time their issue is bothering them. That way the devs would have 2 sets of metrics to read- 1 being a number of votes showing how prevalent an issue is, & the other being pain intensity based on each issue's fundraising. Maybe integrate documenting which username is associated with each vote to filter out vote manipulation.
Perhaps these thoughts (among others I'm sure) have already been addressed by the 'Voting' DAC, which could maybe facilitate a solution. I haven't read up on that yet to know what they're up to.

General Discussion / Development progress on the backup restoration issue w/ multiple accounts
« on: September 18, 2014, 04:39:15 am »
Hi,
I read that currently there's an issue with restoring wallet backups which contain more than 1 account, & thus I'm holding off on creating additional accounts & sticking to my primary project alone. But I do see the advantage to having more than 1, & would like to do so as soon as the aforementioned issue is ironed out.
Where can I monitor the project's development so I can get an idea as to when I can both have multiple accounts, & know my wallet is safely backed up such that it can be properly restored to its original state should a recovery be necessary?
Another question which comes to mind is, if I were to create additional accounts with a separate wallet for each now while it's impossible to properly restore wallets containing multiple accounts, would it be possible to one day consolidate those accounts into a single wallet file once the backup restoration issue is resolved?
Lastly, should it be the case that this problem isn't a priority with the development team, is there a way to maybe vote for which todo items get proiritized? I imagine I could post a bounty to get it completed by foo date if it's on the back burner, but if it's going to be fixed within a reasonable amount of time anyway, I'd rather save my BTSX/PTS.

...Just a thought:
What's to prevent someone from charging a ransom for incriminating recordings?
I imagine it would only be a matter of time until such a use case found its way to reality.
Is that something that the DAC is prepared to facilitate?
If someone were to integrate their scheme with Maidsafe's 'immutable files' function, it could be a cash cow for rogue papparatzi, whistleblowers, & organized crime.
How could such actions be prevented programmaticly?

Technical Support / Re: bitsharesx build fails due to missing boost & curses
« on: September 18, 2014, 02:13:30 am »Is Debian not the same flavour as Ubuntu and Mint? Could you not pull the package from one of those??
I've added the Ubuntu ppa to Debian, & can install the bitsharesx client if I don't have any apt-pinning configured at all. But without apt-pinning enabled 'aptitude upgrade' breaks my system & I can't boot.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to maintain my apt-pinning setup while allowing the bitsharesx package's dependencies to be: a) installed when the bitsharesx package needs them, & b) automatically upgraded as required.
Right now, I have Security set at priority 1000, Stable set to 995, & the repo with the right versions of the dependencies set to 50. For (*) all packages.
If I add a new section to the preference file, type the names of the bitsharesx package's dependencies (and all their dependencies) into the 'Package' field, & use a priority of 995 or even 1000, then they still don't install.

General Discussion / I want to run a seed node
« on: September 17, 2014, 05:46:52 am »
Hi,
In the near future, I'll have 2 servers each with their own static IP address, unused CPU cycles, & plenty of bandwidth. I would like to help the network by running a seed node on each.
I'm not clear on whether just running the bitsharesx client constitutes a seed node. I gather that it's separate from a delegate node, & can be helpful without having to be voted into the top 101.
What software would I have to install, & where can I find a download link with installation instructions?
One server runs Debian, & the other will run Lunar linux, so I'll need to build them from source. I assume that's available.
If it's the same software as a delegate node requires, I'll need some help, as I'm having trouble building it, but that's for another thread that's over in 'Technical Support'.
If someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I'm happy to help the project this way.
Thanks,
-F

An afterthought, I probably should have posted this in the 'Newbies' section- sorry. Please feel free to move it should forum admins agree.
