Okay.  45.55.6.216:1776 is up built on commit 714261b02a55002f05ea647aa29ab3900b490407

It seems for voting you need the ACTIVE_KEY also

Someone care to vote me in please, and comment on anything else you think I need to do.

The build is done on the vps, but unfortunately I need to go. I'm going to leave my witness & cli_wallet running while I'm away. I'll chk back when I return.

It looks like dan just pushed a commit that increases minimum witness to 101.  We can run a network that won't die if 4 witnesses go down.  I think we should all build again and start a new network.  I am at work, but I can start a seed node on my VPS.  If someone else that is going to have more time, would like to start a server node instead let me know.

    increasing the default minimum number of witnesses to 101 for testing

Although looks like 714261b02a55002f05ea647aa29ab3900b490407 is even newer, so thats what I am planning on building[/code]

So you're building 714261b02a55002f05ea647aa29ab3900b490407 ?

yes

I just kicked off a new build on a vps. I just wiped the original graphene folders and started from scratch. I presume it's the latest src we're going to use? If not would someone please post what to use instead of this:

Code: [Select]

  git clone https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene.git
  cd graphene
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  cmake .
  make

Still a bit of a newbie on git

Thx ppuppies. I forget to ask if my build is too stale to use, sounds like it. I'll start another one on a vps.

I will see what happens with launching with the old build here locally...

[puppies]

For those who have interest, I started another chain. Chain id is still "5508f5f743717fe2c78445364f62a72badd7532974d26f089af2062228b532eb"

Code: [Select]

./witness_node -s 114.92.254.159:62015  --genesis-json aug-19-puppies-test-genesis.json


OK, finally have some answers, trying to catch up with everyone. Just reviewed several pages of this thread, but can't find the aug-19th genesis download URL. Are we all moving to abit's chain now? I'll add --checkpoint '[40903,"00009fc7e518d750f653ba0ca25a3067bd304f30"]' to the witness startup too.

Still need to get voted in, not sure if 0.9.2 balance migration is necessary at this point tho...

Are we all on the same github version? How can I check on this, is there some versioning inside the programs, too? 

[puppies]

Bytemaster is the minimum witness count hard coded or in the genesis?

[puppies]

I'm having the hardest time getting on your chain abit


Stuck at work.  So limited access.

[cryptosile]

Bytemaster, on the next testnet would it be possible to use a git tag?  That way a tag refers to a specific commit and is static rather than a dynamic branch. 

....Also, my automated build server will see a tag and build a docker image with the witness binary in about 20 minutes from the commit.

[abit]

Failed to push new blocks. What is exact command?

Yes it's too late, and I'm re-syncing.
In order to keep the chain running, we need at least 8 witnesses online;
in order to rescue the chain we need at least 8 witnesses add the checkpoint parameter to their startup command IN TIME.
