Factom,
What do you plan to do more to promote and advance the project Factom, would like to see a specific plan for 2016 (monthly or quarterly).
He exists or not?

p.s. A feeling that I've been left alone. No longer interested? No discussions, etc. Sad

Hi, I am here too   Smiley And I think this project is very interesting.

Second day I have not opened of. site - www.factom.org. Just see blue color and the word "Loading" in center and nothing else. I wonder what's the problem? Maybe just go update site? Sad

p.s. Found out what the problem is. The problem was in Google Chrome browser on website does not load. I tried through Tor, Safari and Mozilla to load properly. Smiley

firefox or chrome will not load the website factom.org for me.
windows internet explorer works.

I tried clearing the cache etc and it still did not load.

Anyone looking to run a perma node let me know. There may be some bounty in it for you.

Sure, how many do you need?

A few should do. The more exotic the location the better.

I have one on S Africa, and another in Bulgaria. the rest are run of the mil European, American, Asian

Ill set some up later, taking the dog to the vet this morning

Added all working nodes posted, no dice.

net.listening true
net.peerCount still 0 every time.

https://github.com/expanse-project/go-expanse/wiki/Connecting-to-the-network

Have you checked everything in here?

Yup, nothing has resolved it.



Same problem.
Adding nodes still gives null answer.

I tried adding static-nodes.json in the roaming folder with the nodes in there, no change, still 0 nodes.

try these two
Code:
admin.addPeer("enode://753d7d97ffc944edf42b676731b28e059d669484eb16e4526778f83e72d35922dee01b2967722e640a4a210e923aecdb4e4962b2d70fd2ca5dc2d911590e0737@[::]:42786")

Re: electrum-server does not respond
by
jadedjack
on 05/06/2015, 04:32:46 UTC
Now if I try "sudo electrum-server getinfo" the electrum-server process blocks and nothing happens. The log does not show anything. Process cpu usage is at ~100%.

Any suggestions on how to debug this?
@fex,

The electrum-server DB has to catch-up.  It isn't a verbose process but seeing the CPU usage will assure you it is working.  The log will only update after passing every 1000 blocks.  Note it can take an hour or two to catch-up just 10-12 hours (on a modern CPU with an SSD).

Yes, I found this to be the case, but there was another thing.

I finally had some time to look into the problem: there were too many files open. I did change the limit for this in /etc/security/limits.conf as described on github, however, two things to note:

1. If you put an entry like " hard nofile 65536" in limits.conf, it will only work if is really logged in. It does not work (at least on Ubuntu 14.10) when another user account loggs in and then uses "su" to get into the account. This might be a problem when using "electrum-server" binary as it seems to use "su". To solve this, I added limits.conf-entries for the "really logged in" user account that starts the "electrum-server" binary.

Maybe this information could be added to the readme on Github somehow.

2. The error indicating that too many files were open was burried under a stack trace that I got when I was running run_electrum_server directly (instead of "electrum-server start"). It did not show up in the log file.



Regards,

Felix


This page describes how to increase the open files limit for a user
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md#step-10-tweak-your-system-for-running-electrum

Code:
sudo echo "bitcoin hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
 sudo echo "bitcoin soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf

In Ubuntu 14.04 you must also edit /etc/pam.d/common-session
Code:
sudo nano  /etc/pam.d/common-session

Add this to the end of the file

Re: Why should anyone (private and commercial) use NEM instead of Bitcoin?
by

To make NEM successfull you need to answer the ultimate question. Why should anyone (private NOR commercial) use NEM instead of Bitcoin? If you can answer this, assure everyone about this an spread the word. That's the only way to make NEM successful and independent.

In fact there is no huge difference between any crypto currency. It all comes to the community and the economy behind any crypto. Today there is no real solid value in switching to NEM from any other crypto. However, in the very near future there will be tons of reasons. For instance, decentralized asset exchange is one huge advantage that will be coming live in the very near future. In addition to asset exchange, NEM will support smart contracts. These are huge advantages over all other cryptos.

For now NEM would be better in terms of:
- No inflation.
- Multi signature transactions.
- Encrypted messaging.
- Light weight blockchain/algorithm.
- Prove of importance "will be more valuable in the future when NEM gets more popular".

I don't think there is any other crypto that can have multiple harvesters "miners" working in parallel, each independent from the others, but on the same node.

@devs

Considering the upcoming plans for a Block Rewards Program...  I strongly urge you to take a look at this.

What you see there is an Infinite Loop AT running on the Qora blockchain (like a BEAST) that is increasing the txs' fees of generated blocks by 50 QORA.  Others can actually donate to the address which created the AT and extend the loop!   Cool


If (by any chance) you deem this approach superior to your current plans...  please consider implementing Automated Transactions (AT).

Aside from being an efficient way to run the Block Rewards Program...  NEM will benefit from all other AT use cases through the same changes to the code.  It doesn't take long to see the power behind the use cases presented thus far (ACCT, Auction, Crowdfunding, Dormant Funds, Lottery).


Although it won't be true (since I'm not part of the CIYAM Team)...  take it as a plug if you have to...  lol   Grin

Block reward are not a good idea. Look at FIMK. They had block rewards and are scaling it back because of large accounts getting larger exponentially. Node rewards, separate from block harvesting, is the way to go.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what's the best method for funding my wallet on a remote VPS (with the goal of activating harvesting)?

My NEM is currently sitting in an exchange, so if I send it to my local wallet or remote wallet address, what message do I add?  Or is that not necessary for personal transfers?

Just send the funds to your local wallet.
here is a something i posted when someone else asked the same question

I got a problem with my wallet. It always said that my password is wrong but Im sure this is the good one.

Can I do something ??

sometimes if you cut and paste text a trailing whitespace will be added. Check to see if a whitespace should or should not be used at the end.

so what kind of coinage do you need to properly stake (yes i've read up but there are some contradiction, eg my client says 1000, but a tutoral says 10000 etc etc etc)?

any advantage in more coinage?

prior to staking any advantage or need in keeping the client running?

it is 10000, the client has a typo
more coinage is related to your importance on the network, and therefore increases your odds of harvesting a block, but not directly, check out the white paper for more detail

Harvesting involves block creation, so something needs to be running. It can be your local computer running a node, your own remote node on a vps, or on a public node.

Soon, (i hope) there will be a system of rewards for those running their own nodes. So that will be another way of profiting in addition to harvesting

thanks for the reply Smiley

is there any advantage in keeping the client open prior to having your coins mature to staking age?

Before you have 10000 vested probably not, unless you just want to support the network and keep current with the blockchain.
Deposits are vested at 10% per day (1440 blocks) so you can figure out how long it will take to get a vested account of 10000 or over.

Finally got my stake and now I'm trying to harvest. Do I have to leave the browser NEM client open or does it harvest if I just have it in the system tray?

The best idea is to start your own node and use "delegated harvesting". It's very simple!

Just curious, is there anything wrong with the network? Today on Poloniex someone from the NEM team showed up in the shoutbox asking to speak to Busoni (one of the main people of Poloniex) in private on irc and now the Nemtrader.com Nodes (13 of them) and one dev Node (Alice) have been rebooted.

Just to be clear, I am just asking and not implying that there is anything wrong.

No worries,

I was experimenting with a new script and fscked up so I had to reboot nemtrader nodes.
apologies

Then, booting a local node is a minimum condition for contribution to the network, right?

1) yes

Is this true even with a closed port?

It is necessary to boot in order to contribute but not sufficient. You need to either start harvesting and/or open port 7890 to bring value to the network.
1) In case of not harvesting, did I understand the condition of contribution right?
Running NIS/NCC ---> open wallet ----> booted(synchronized) & choose remote server(open port 7890) ----> "close wallet" or let it open.

2) In setting, auto boot is more influential than remote server in contribution to network? Or...?

1) you can close the wallet
2) autoboot is the same as booting manually

Usually that is a symptom something is wrong with your boot key.
Try setting
nis.shouldAutoHarvestOnBoot = false

Hey, jack.  Good to see you again.

I changed that setting - now, when I mouse hover over the icon in system tray, it's all green: fully synced, NCC running. Right click, open in browser: NIS not available.  Can't login.  Stoner21 from IRC hoped you'd be available to solve this one for me (he said something about a similar issue when he began running nodes)

Appreciate the help - I'd really like to get this thing up and running!

Hi No worries. it is probably something simple.
When you say the icon in the system tray is all green, do you mean on the VPS or on the local machine?

If it is green in the VPS then you should be able to connect to it.

Run NCC on the local computer.
Make certain that the IP for the VPS is the same that you have in "Settings" in the NCC client running on the local computer. (sometimes if you shutdown the vps, amazon will give you a new ip when starting up again)

If the NCC client then shows green at the top of the page you are good to go.




System tray of the local machine.  

How would I check/change the VPS's IP?  The public IP is the same as the "Settings" IP, but the private IP is different.  Am I just setting a new static IP (with ip addr)?  Thanks...

Thats right, you are running ubuntu. for some reason i thought you were running windows on that vps. ifconfig should show the public and private IPs.
The public IP should be entered in the "Settings"of the local NCC.
(The green NIS in the system tray has no relation to whether it running on the VPS.)

If it is running on the VPS, (check with htop), and the IP is set correctly in the local NCC, you should see a green bar at the top of the NCC page on the local machine.

Sup guys....still can't get in to my node!

NIS won't allow me to even log in to my wallet.

On IRC, Stoner21 helped me out with 99% of setup (for running an AWS node) but I eventually ran into the same problem he did...so I come to you now...

 Cry

How is anyone supposed to help you if you give no details on the problem ?

Wow, sorry..should have elaborated more on the NIS issue Roll Eyes

when I try and run it in my AWS node, it keeps returning a big red 'FAILED'

when running the desktop icon, everything appears to work fine, but when opening my wallet in a browser, it just gets stuck at the wallet password screen - I type my password, hit log in, a green icon 'loads', but my wallet never opens (its reminiscent to a browser running without javascript)

Do you have a space, dot or something like that in your wallet name ? That's what usually causes these "nothing happens" issues.

nope...that was the first thing I checked...

my remote private key is supposed to be in NIS's config-user.properties, correct?   Should anything be added to the "config.properties file" inside /etc/nem/nis?

now I'm getting in (AWS):

Code:
cannot access /var/lib/nem/nis/logs/nis-*.log.lck


In Windows:


Everything is fully synced, but when I try and log in, the little green loading animation just spins and disappears...as well as 'NIS is not available' in red at the top, yet it's running in my tray...

First check this https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Post here is everything ok with java. If not reinstall java.

Everything's updated.

NIS goes from unknown to unavailable.  Now, NIS is stopping on its own...



Usually that is a symptom something is wrong with your boot key.
Try setting
nis.shouldAutoHarvestOnBoot = false
