Dry Run 7: The Power of DPOS

[svk]

Like I said earlier the web wallet is looking good, and Hackfisher immediately corrected a spelling error I pointed out on github

There's one function currently throwing errors, it's the delegate list. It's simply because in the blockchain service list_delegates is called with "count" parameter set to -1. This throws an error. Setting it to a positive number fixes it, it's on line 133 of "blockchain.coffee", I've set it to 200 here:

Code: [Select]

@q.all({dels: @blockchain_api.list_delegates(0,200), config: @get_config()}).then (results) =>
To Zeus: Those numbers you're seeing are currently hardcoded simply as numbers, they're not actually being updated. Will get updated soon I'm sure.

[mf-tzo]

Not sure if I have to post here...

I have installed the GUI 0.8 version. I have created an account "zeus" and put a password.

The account showed some numbers 3 Accounts, 2 delegates etc. when I was clicking on them nothing was showing.

I pressed the button "lock" and after a couple of minutes my wallet was locked. I put the password to unlock it and just waiting and waiting and waiting and never unlocked...

 


On another note... From the 5 minutes I got the chance to look at it the first thing that came to my mind was that this looks like counterparty..and I don't like counterparty..Nxt platform is much nicer...

It isn't based on transaction volume, but instead every balance is voting for N delegates.  When you transfer funds you update the balance and the votes.

Does it affect the votes if N is smal or not and how are they divided?
For example with the same balance 2 different scenarios:

1. transfer x funds and had voted N delegates
2. transfer x funds and had voted (2*N) delegates

will each delegate in the second senario get the same votes like in scenario 1 ?

How do you explain that my best delegates "liondani" (27 produced 1 missed) is in the stand by list and 4 of my worst delegates that have 0 produced and about 2-3 missed are on the top delegates?(liondani-delegate-1, -3, -4, -8)

PS only liondani-delegate-1 has funds

There is no auto-voting right now.  Unless someone has given you an approval vote and then made transactions to that effect it will not change your ranking.

Is the delegate ranking based on the amount of funds transmitted by wallet(s) with wallet_approve_delegate  <delegate(s)> in each round, in total, other?  Perhaps you could direct me to some reference material pm the subject.

If you close and re-open your wallet does the balance come back?

I restarted the system. All XTS finally went through and were received by the correct recipients in other wallets. 

However, the transaction history looks like this now.

Can you list your unregistered accounts?

It seems I lost 100 FREE.

I have issued 1M FREE, then I tried to send 100 FREE to demonstra but the transaction was pending for long time (more then 10 minutes) and I used the command wallet_clear_pending_transactions. So now I can't see the transaction any more but my balance it is not synced with my transactions:

Init balance: 1,000,0000 FREE

Code: [Select]

Finale balance: 999,700.000000 FREE but should be 999,800 FREE

I have made an issue: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/issues/444

Thanks! I monitor the balance if 100 FREE come back in my wallet

Yes, my 3 transactions got stuck so i cleared them and the balance did not increase back. Lost 2400 XTS 

If you close and re-open your wallet does the balance come back?

I'm trying to use only the web wallet this time around, it's looking very nice!

It might need a bit more info on the account key; something like "give this to anyone who wants to send you XTS".

I'm assuming the "account key" is the one I need for someone to send me some XTS? If so, can someone please send me some so I can register a delegate?

Guys could you vote for us wallet_approve_delegate bitsapphire true.

We need to test our server performance this timje around.

the link is still 0.0.7.
current version of the gui wallet  has a  problem:  once you exit the wallet, next time when you open the wallet you can't unlock it.

When are those pending transactions being served?
I made some transfers between my accounts that are not registered (there was also one from registered -> unregistered), and those went into pending, and keep on hanging...

I thought that maybe only approved delegates validate them, but apparently they don't...

[bytemaster]

3) All transactions must now expire in less than 48 hours, and by default expire in 24 if they are not included in the chain.

Really all the transactions including the ones got confirmed ? Why?

Expire simply means they cannot be applied a second time and allows the validators to remove them from memory.   They result of the transaction is still valid if it was confirmed.
