Dry Run 4: A New Hope

[vikram]

I got something like below, notice the wallet_seconds_until_next_block_production is -14. Any idea?

default (unlocked) >>> get_info
{
  "blockchain_head_block_num": 4,

}
Edit:
seems like caused by this error:
network_get_connection_count() >= _min_delegate_connection_count: Client must have 5 connections before you may produce blocks

This is a known issue; cause unknown: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/362

I've enabled all my delegates.
And I've registered few more.
However I still see some negative VOTES FOR. Is this expected?
6           unelected-delegate-6     -104917529          102557509978        -1.026658773 %      0               1

I only fixed half the issue... we can ignore it for this run (it is a harmless bug...).  There were two places in the code that needed to change and I only got one of them.   I have checked in a fix that should go into effect the next dry run.   For now we will just ignore it.

The bug should only effect the unelected initial delegates.

If you have less than 5 connections, shut down and reconnect.

Thanks and it works by restarting client.

Known issue... safe to ignore, it is just one of the tests.

Can we use BIP to pay registration fee ? Has the BIP function been implemented ?

No, probably won't be for XT

[zhangweis]

I've seen 1 block now.
Can someone send me some fund to register as delegate? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone I am sad to report that we have to reset this dry run due to a major flaw in the initial condition setup resulting in the negative votes-for everyone saw.  Unfortunately I cannot fix this without a reset.

New chain has launched that fixes this issue and the double registration issue.

Let's begin!

* Step 1 **REQUIRED**: Open this in another tab   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D0ZQPqeJkk

* Step 2: Wipe all your old data-dirs. Note that you might have both  ~/.BitSharesXTS  and  ~/BitShares\ XTS  - kill them all.

* Step 3: Pull latest and build.

* Optional Step 4:  If you are an initial delegate and a good citizen, do what you did before (import old private keys, make sure to wallet_enable_delegate_block_production). Details are sparse on purpose, since you probably want to skip this and go straight to 5.

* Step 5: Follow this guide: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/wiki/DPOS-Registering-Names-And-Delegates

You will notice that you need funds to register your name / register as delegate. You have two options:
* import a key with funds
* ask someone nicely

This is the tech support thread. We'll open another related to delegate campaigns in the next day or two.

Edit: Blocks will be reaaaal slow near the start. Initial delegates, get online!
