diana_coman: mod6, asciilifeform BingoBoingo thumbs up, box is ready, thank you!
diana_coman: please remove kvm and cables
diana_coman: and as a customer of Pizarro I'd be very happy to know that BingoBoingo takes on the management role and gets it moving;also, re directions to my mind this forum here is a great place to come and ask about scary/unknown stuff *early*
diana_coman: I meant: to ask early about it and get help figuring it all out
diana_coman: !!up brazilish
deedbot: brazilish voiced for 30 minutes.
diana_coman: brazilish, voicing is based on your standing with deedbot
diana_coman: brazilish, what are you working on?
brazilish: the real bitcoin node
brazilish: trying to set it up on a vps to give it a try
diana_coman: so what are you doing with it exactly?
diana_coman: aha; do you have a blog anywhere?
brazilish: no but i'll make one
brazilish: i'm trying to running trb on the cheapest possible setting
brazilish: currently is syncing on a single core kvm vps
brazilish: first question is: do initial sync benefits from moar cores?
diana_coman: there is that "I'm too poor to afford cheap things"
diana_coman: but anyway
diana_coman: brazilish, the good approach there is to gather data on that, publish it with discussion and link it here
diana_coman: and yes, do make yourself a blog
brazilish: actual stats on a 10 USD vps: 1.5h to compile w/o issues on debian 8
brazilish: then added a 30 usd 300GB virtual drive to store the blockchain, and started the syncing process
brazilish: now at height 200k is becoming painfully slow to process blocks
diana_coman: !!v 8376BDDBF18F260F7DF218B104B676C9726A5BB17942BA1CDAA49A6E5AD50C88
deedbot: diana_coman rated brazilish 1 << He says he's trying to run TRB and get himself a blog.
diana_coman: there, I rated you so you should be able to self-voice now
brazilish: thanks diana_coman
diana_coman: brazilish, did you get the timing patch and noticed lower timings or how is that "painfully slow to process blocks" evaluated?
brazilish: i followed the procedure on thebitcoin.foundation
brazilish: does it include this patch?
diana_coman: procedure for evaluating time?? link?
diana_coman: iirc no, it does not; did you read the log for yesterday?
brazilish: painfully slow: last 24h processed just 10k blocks
diana_coman: it's mandatory before talking in it today
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: ty, going to get some caffeine in me and make it there
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, cool, no hurry
diana_coman: brazilish, it will get slower; iirc there is even some known further slow down ~300k ; that doesn't mean though that more cores will do anything; before you attempt throwing more cores at it or better disks or whatever, you need to understand *what* causes this slow down; so if you are serious about it, go and investigate and see where is the bottleneck
diana_coman: this is not even a bad project for starting, so go for it, just do it properly and publish the write up
brazilish: diana_coman: ok
brazilish: can i ask what specs have actual running trb nodes?
diana_coman: !!s trb node
brazilish: and approx how much time the initial sync needs with these specs
diana_coman: uhm, search for "trb node" in the logs - that's about the closest you'll get
diana_coman: brazilish, the fastest way to sync short of feeding the blocks directly is with the agression patch
brazilish: btw, I did my research about the evil of a virtual machine setup, but I'm just doing it to test a running node before having bare metal at my premises
brazilish: so wanted to stay on the cheap side
diana_coman: brazilish, nothing wrong with experimenting as long as it's done with a clear plan and then reported on
brazilish: diana_coman: i saw on the foundation site that you have an advertised node
diana_coman: and a serious dose of log reading seems required; do your searches, gather what answers you get from them , write them in a post on your blog and THEN if it's still unclear come and ask, with a link "here's what I figured out, here's what I still have no idea on"
brazilish: can i ask the specs of this one and if you remember how much has spent syncing?
diana_coman: you can ask; I don't see the benefit to either of us in an answer
diana_coman: !!up xdeller
deedbot: xdeller voiced for 30 minutes.
diana_coman: hello xdeller , what brings you here?
brazilish: problem: downloaded asciilifeform_blackhole_reads.vpatch and placed in patches folder, same for the sig file in .seals, then running ./v.pl p v trb054 makefiles.vpatch, but i don't get the patch in the src files
diana_coman: brazilish, do you understand how V works?
diana_coman: good; explain why do you think it should press that patch ?
brazilish: ok, got it now
asciilifeform: diana_coman: was mysql the only eulora component that misbehaved on musl ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, it was the first; but also quite an important one
diana_coman: ftr screen also fails and I'd rather have it than not have it but it's not a eulora dep in itself
asciilifeform: life is pretty hard without 'screen', i'ma look at it as soon as i have own cuntoo going
asciilifeform: ( supposing diana_coman or trinque don't cure it first )
diana_coman: I still have to go through the rest and I'll probably report as I go
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834483 << just about anything with 2GB or more memory will work -- trb is not really cpu-bound . a 1TB disk will last you 3-5 yrs until fills. ideally ssd ( though the exact penalty from using mechanical disk is not yet known, see last night's thread ). if ssd -- i recommend samsung's, cheapo ssd typically burns after 1-2 yrs of trb wear.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-14 13:37 brazilish: can i ask what specs have actual running trb nodes?
asciilifeform: brazilish: fwiw my personal everyday-use node is a box the size of my fist, cost about 100 $ ( not incl. disk ) , runs off a 12v line
diana_coman: asciilifeform, you know, ~all that is *already* in the logs; but I don't know what sort of shoving and pushing and prodding will get him to really search for it
asciilifeform: diana_coman: know what, yer right, i'ma let him dig.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834457 << ftr this is a ~very~ Bad Idea . for instance , i do not know in what starvation-cheapo hoster brazilish put his node, but if it was aws he will find that he cannot connect to ~any of the l1 folx's trb nodes, most people ban aws ip range whole
a111: Logged on 2018-07-14 13:24 brazilish: i'm trying to running trb on the cheapest possible setting
asciilifeform: 'virtual' hosters attract undesirable faux-nodes, like rubbish bins in usa attract raccoon
asciilifeform: ( for old-worlders -- astonishing beast, can grow to german shepherd size, opposable thumbs unscrew jars, open doors... )
asciilifeform bbl,meat
brazilish: asciilifeform: is vultr
brazilish: different AS from aws, still under US control
