12.1 Testnet Testing Phase Two Ignition

Status
Not open for further replies.
Are we still arguing to force antiquated IPv4?

I run my remaining MNs on dual-stacks, with IPv6 bindings. They work great as a bridge to pure IPv6 nodes in that configuration. On the same pizza box on a vnet, the latency is sub-millisecond, so it doesn't hurt anything.

If you're going to force something, it should be forced dual-stack.

This is zero burden to people running small numbers of nodes on rented VPSes, since they already come with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
It's a benefit to people running larger arrays with limited IPv4.

There is no down side, and at least one up side.

I've seen some people theorize fragmentation, but in observable practice, this does not occur. Especially when the operator of the pure IPv6 nodes is also operating dual-stack bridge nodes on the same pizza box... It's a false concern.
 
I updated my tMNs and local last night to the Jan 4 version, Dash Core version v0.12.1.0-7e9ad0e (64-bit) and having just checked on them, they fell off the network.

My nodes remained locked and I had to restart my servers to get dashd running again.
 
4 weeks to 12.1 show time, but...

- PS completion % is wrong.
- Mixing does not work.
- Sync loops 2 times in the row.
- Masternodes tab date is wrong format again (fixed once: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues/796)
- Translations ?

I'm worried...

Something went wrong in the last version, and they've been combing through everything to make sure everything is right. When they think they have all issues cleaned up, we'll get the next version. The last messed up version was released on Jan 4th. I'm just waiting for next version because it's pretty useless to work with it right now :p
 
As disappointed as I am that this didn't release when originally stated, I realize the massive amount of features that were added which were not on the table at the time. I do hope that the deadline now stated is in fact penciled in. I'm as impatient as anyone, but getting it right should always be prioritized above arbitrary dates, frustration with delays, or capricious demands. We're talking about exploding money. It's almost as bad as an exploding gun right next to your face... You don't want to get it wrong of your users are going to be really mad, or possibly dead. They can't give you any more of their money if they're dead...
 
I see there is a new version, but I can't update at the moment :(

Anyway, I wanted to point out a problem I have, which I think is ultimately a serious problem. I mine on a pool, but when I lose contact with that pool, my miner mines with my P2pool setup at home. This gives me a lot of dust that I can't deal with. I can't consolidate it. Even if my wallet allowed me to consolidate, it would cost more than the mining was worth. I got a script to consolidate via dashd, but I still have over 200 inputs that are not consolidated (from over 2000) and more came in during the night :p I'm just going to have to stop P2pool mining, and if that's true for a lot of people, then that centralizes our network even more.

Can't we make a function, where dust can be collected into one input? Only miners need this function, and if only mining rewards could be consolidated this way, maybe it wouldn't overwhelm the system?

Or maybe P2pool could be changed with the upcoming smart contracting system to act like a centralized pool where funds are collected and distributed when the user wants their portion released?
 
Or, just learn a lesson from a failed hoard coin of the early days, from which DASH already learned another trick... PeerCoin doesn't have mining. The network can be secured without it. XVC was forked from PPC, and has real IX already... IT's an abandoned and dying project, and it's still better for vendors than DASH...

Was spiting the dirty, evil republican really worth losing 2 years in your own marketplace invention?
 
Ugh, I'm sorry, I can't seem to stop the old dash. pkill doesn't work. I can't start the new version. I have to leave again, no time for rebooting ATM, sorry!

Strange that killing the process does not kill it :)
Change your autostart script path to dashd, reboot the server and update :) should wokr - after all put the autostart script path as it was before :)
 
stupid question - but is there a new version of sentinel also? have both my test MNs with "WATCHDOG_EXPIRED" status..

don't have an auto start script in testnet :p :)
BUT rebooting did the trick. Now I have to upgrade again to newest, LOL

Wait, did I already update? are we on Dash Core version v0.12.1.0-5cb6486 (64-bit) ?

How long has it been since you upgraded? January 4 version was broken, and I think the first new one came out on the 9th and another this morning (my time) on the 11th (says January 11 on the site) So if you got yours before or around the 9th it's probably a bad version :)
 
available already (same as KeepKey and TREZOR)
https://www.dash.org/news/starting-today-ledger-nano-s-and-ledger-blue-officially-support-dash/

Chaplin is testing the 12.1 version
Thank you for the link. As far as I understand, this is just Dash support by these wallets. I meant if it would be possible not only to keep coins on Ledger Nano S , but also to launch a masternode when coins are stored within Ledger wallet. I did not find any way, how to bring together Dash Core and Ledger (generate 0 address to send 1000 dashes to, generate masternode private key, etc.). If there is any manual, please help to find it.
