Hmmm, maybe “ClientImprovement” was about testing the ingenuity of use test clients rather than the code!
My node is still waiting for its first payment. Come on folks, get uploading!

I seem to be getting payments as my wallet balance is going up but they aren’t showing in vdash. But vdash is shouting records arriving.

Went for it, I Think that I am up and running but I am in the rear end of Alabama where the internet still wears a mullet so I am mostly guessing right now. Time will tell.

Dang! Although from @storage_guy’s report it looks like it’s really a vdash bug. Never trust your own code until you’ve tested it.
Expect an update once I’ve finished my coffee

Second batch ended in failure [ -c 20 --batch-size 20 ]
After 579.027326138s, verified 233 chunks
======= Verification: 190 chunks were not stored. Repaying them in batches. =============
Failed to fetch 20 chunks. Attempting to repay them.
and then
Error:

Will try again with more conservative -c 50 --batch-size 10
Only because I wasn’t at home, I’m afraid… I hope to get the richest node on the network now that I have had a good head start.

So what was the role of the SAFE_PEERS, meaning what difference is it supposed to make if I use one or the other? And was there a posiibility for traffic jam if everyone uses the same one?
There were hints about that yesterday which sounded plausible
I am using one of the bottom entries on the list in the OP.
@dirvine replied in another thread about setting SAFE_PEERS soon to be redundant as the client will grab a value for that automatically.
Presumably there will eventually be a method to pick a random valid value for SAFE_PEERS that will be invisible to Joe User.

It’s just a known network node to get some other peers from. Ideally, we should have 20 or so of them up and working solidly. Clients should randomly choose one or even ask their pals for an address etc.

Is there a way to set SAFE_PEERS to an array of valid values?
This is bugging me

I’ve updated vdash to v0.8.12 which has minor UI tweaks and fixes the missing Earnings.
If you re-start vdash you’ll lose some earlier data but see everything that’s in the latest log and anything new. More in this topic: Vdash - Node dashboard for Safe Network - #105 by happybeing
Edit: if you restart your node (do rm -r ~/.local/share/safe/node first) and then restart vdash it’s pretty sweet as you’ll see a pile of PUTS arriving and eventually costs and earnings and your totals will be accurate.
TIPS:
- press ‘t’ and ‘T’ to cycle forward and back through the timelines.
- press ‘o’ and ‘i’ to zoom the time scale out and back in.

I’m getting this on all of the 10 nodes I have running on Hetzner

Given that modern home routers tend to favor/promote some packets over others - e.g. video streams … can SAFE packet get any prioritization as well? I don’t know how that all works, so just curious. Also when we go to hole punching and UDP? How might that affect things?
My second batch of files succeeded after several auto-retries [ -c 50 --batch-size 10 ]
Given the large number of chunk upload failures though and given my repeated successful upload without retries at a lower batch-size setting in the previous testnet, I think a batch-size of 10 is still too large for my upload speed/bandwidth.
Next will do a large file with [ -c 50 --batch-size 5 ] - my aim is to upload without auto retries - get it uploaded the first go.
