Maybe they could. But then you could just pay yourself with the same payment code as used by the client. IE mod the client to pay yourself without doing any uploads or quotes etc

Yea, noticed that old nodes did not receive any. I tested this with one 1000 node machine on a previous version. So seems the new emissions system is indeed only paying up to date nodes.

Also my nodes that were up to date received a lot more than they were getting the previous cycle, suggesting there are a LOT of nodes that are not using up to date versions.

The solution is for the Foundation to upload a small amount of data and then pay subsidies only to the addresses it has paid for.

The current is doing that without spending the cost of actual chunk storage. To do any more is to invite those would would disagree with the foundation using emissions allocation for uploading data. And on top think of the complaints over what the data is. KISS is better

So, the first big carrot is active. Let’s see how that plays out. It seems we have a few other ideas if it doesn’t! :melting_face:

My rewards are about 3x more than they were before today too. That is surely going to sting those who aren’t using latest. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds.

Sorry! But it’s better for the coin value for the long run :wink:

Unfortunately, uploads got worse, I don’t know if due to new API, or network problems, but since couple days I try to upload a 200kB mp3, and everytime I fail. I use data_put_public() function. Tried both from home and VPS.

There’s similar situation with devs – Impossible Futures rewards will be paid out couple months from now.

Major fail here on our part. Could have timed it so much better.

Cool, glad to hear you guys will be making contributions.

We should be contributing about 10k nodes ourselves.

I’ll bring 4 ~ 5 k nodes

Id be up for getting a dedicated machine and you could let me know when to run it to destruction with far to many nodes so we can observe how it gets shunned etc.

Cool, yeah let me get back to you on that. We will definitely need to keep this network stable for people to develop on, so we would need to have a bit of a balance I think in terms of how much we wanted to throw at it.

Yes of course it would be if authorized kind of thing if you wanted a test and thought valuable for info.

I know that I am being a bit of nag, sorry.
Those DEBUG log levels are a thorn in my side :wink:

Hey, sorry, what are you referring to here? I’m not sure.

Node logs are at DEBUG by default and I am hoping that we could have control over that via antctl instead of having to build.

We discussed this a few months ago and it just needs to be exposed to antctl the code exists.

Just that a few hundred nodes running at DEBUG 24/7 makes my drives sad.

Ah ok!

There was a PR I was working on to switch off logging by default (always the way I have wanted it), but I got bogged down in other work. It might be possible to implement that before the Impossible Futures network, but can’t guarantee that.

In the mean time, you can use the ANT_LOG variable to control the logging. If you wanted to make it as minimal as possible, you could use something like this: ANT_LOG=ant_evm=info. I happen to know that ant_evm hardly logs anything, so this would almost be switching it off.

I can’t promise 4k nodes but I’ll fire up a dedicated Hetzner box for a month or two

I’ve got 10 tokens from 2600 nodes in last 24 hours. My nodes are behind NAT with manual port forwarding. Everything seems to be running fine, all nodes are version 0.3.8, low load on machines, why am I earning so low?
