Delegate btstools.digitalgaia: proposal and updates

[wackou]

Released 0.2, which includes the following changes:

* now requires python3.4
* API CHANGE: format of the config.yaml file has changed, and you will need to update it.
  Run "bts list" and it should tell you what to fix in your config file. For more details,
  see: http://bts-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config_format.html#nodes-list
* added support for building DVS and BTS client >= 0.9.0
* added support for building PLAY client (pls)
* internal refactoring and modularization of the monitoring plugins

The important thing here is that you need to update your config.yaml file. The tools should tell you what to update, but if you're not too sure, just delete your config.yaml file and restart the tools so that they generate a new, valid one for you.

In particular, make sure that you specify the "missed" and "network_connections" plugins in your monitoring list, as they were done automatically before, but you now have to specify them explicitly. See http://bts-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config_format.html#nodes-list for more info.

Released 0.2.1, which fixes the feeds publishing and display for bts >= 0.9.0 (works on RC1 too)

I am a none coder, but the tools you provide, will make it easier to run a delegate.

Do you have a demo side etc. where some interested voters or delegates can have a look, without the need to install all the stuff?
I think it would make it easier to get elected for you!

Hope you will get elected soon, keep up, i appreciate your work

I was thinking of making the install of my seed nodes + bts_tools public, so people can have a look at it, but haven't gotten around to do it yet. It would indeed be a good showcase of what the tools can do.
In the meantime, there are some screenshots here (not as interactive, but hey ) : http://bts-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/monitor.html#screenshots

I have now joined forces with Thom of delegate.verbaltech as can be seen here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,13837.msg230185.html#msg230185

I will still post relevant updates to this thread, but news/updates about the backbone will be published in the other thread mainly.

delegates wackou-delegate and btstools.digitalgaia have stopped producing blocks a 9am EST today and have now been shutdown for good, may they rest in peace Like the phoenix, a new witness will be reborn from their ashes (to be announced very soon)

What an adventure the past year has been! I have learnt a lot about crypto-currencies and am very proud to be part of the BitShares community, which I hold in the highest respect because of the way that technical excellence is valued here first and foremost (instead of politics), for the openness of the core devs and for all the different opinions of everyone here (I could try to list all of you but Ander did a superb job here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=18455.0, so I'll leave it there).

Eagerly waiting for the impending release of BitShares 2.0. The future has never looked more interesting!
