New Network Alert — Time to Reset Your Nodes

Hola!

The time has come to reset your nodes and have them restart on our fresh shiny network!

Uploads have now been suspended for 24 hours to allow you to do this and get things up and running again, without missing out on those nanos.

What you need to do now

If you are a Node Launchpad user:

  1. Download the latest Autonomi Node Launchpad
  2. Press O to go to the options screen
  3. Reset your Nodes by pressing Ctrl+R and typing reset
  4. Reboot your device
  5. Start your nodes again by pressing Ctrl+G from the status screen.

Simple!

And for power users running with the CLI, the reset is an easy process too, with all the required commands detailed on our Docs site.

:muscle:t2:Thanks for your time, attention, and hard work!:muscle:t2:

What am I supposed to do run under my wave 1 discord username or go ownerless for my nodes ?

6 Likes

Good point, better wave 1 keep nanos for uploads if the wave is over. But if there i a reason to keep forwarding it will cause unnecessary restarts, better to know now.

We’ve chatted about this and think it’s best they just keep things running as before until the snapshot for the leaderboard on friday. And after that we can reveal more on the next incentives, and you can choose to go ownerless for data, or something else.

So it’s a complete reset and no data is being carried forward into the new network and no tokens from the old one will work on it?

2 Likes

That’s correct. Complete reset.

Why so much data on the network? wow.

For fresh starts on a new network we can normally start with a small interval and have no issues.
I am in full run for the hills meltdown here, mucho records already on the network. :melting_face:

In a few moments we’ll be getting uploads flowing agai on the Network, and with it those nanos.

So last reminder to reset those nodes if you haven’t already.

@JimCollinson how many nodes are you guys (maidsafe) running?

I saw you post we are at 75k this morning, that is huge.

I’m even seeing an estimate of around 100k nodes…

Does maybe the increased range based routing have an influence on bucket sizes? @qi_ma?

2000 AFAIAA. But yeah looking great

2 Likes

No. the bucket sizes are fixed. and the network size estimation shall not be affected.

Strange - would be interesting what number @neo s script comes up with

Not wanting to be negative but I have a hard time believing those numbers

Launchpad working better + new version being much better on resources so people can run more nodes with same resources. It doesn’t look impossible to me.

EDIT: I am seeing estimates between 78k-95k.

For sure we can run more, everyone I know is seemingly running less though. Just that the mad mania for rank has worn off.

Be interested to know who is running big numbers to reach that total.

And maybe I’m really wrong and that number is accurate :man_shrugging:

But usually when something looks too good to be true… it isn’t true … And that’s about twice the number we’ve seen not long ago… Where the message was ‘quality instead of quantity’

I am running close to 1k nodes. Most of it is on my own HW so it costs me only few bucks in electricity which I am willing to donate.

6 Likes

Yeah same, I am also solely home based HW. Its great after the initial outlay which is now forgotten it feels almost as though I am running nodes for free.

In a rare miracle electricity prices went down so I am even saving on my electric bill despite running a extra AC unit to cool my office with 65 machines :sunglasses:

I am working on streamlining the processing since it was more poking around in a random fashion and obviously needed about 5 to 10 times the work. Once the ERC20 stuff drops in then it might be impossible due to the requirement to do ERC20 transactions. ERC20 is very costly in manual processing that people won’t be doing more than a few a day and it impacts on upload testing. Its part of the process to check for nodes out there. Maybe it won’t be needed but with so little info so far I cannot be sure.

I do like though the lower memory foot print I’m seeing so far.

Still has the high CPU usage for the first few minutes. People should have 3 to 5 minutes between starting nodes unless they on a larger machine, then maybe as low as 90 seconds will work well, but then bandwidth has to be considered as its high initially.

No nanos yet :frowning: after uploads been going for 20 hours or so.

No nanos at all? Across how many nodes? Not to brag but I have 4 nanos across 3 of 10 nodes that have been up for 24 hours. And a couple on 10 other nodes on 2 machines that have been up for about 18 hours. If you are running more than a couple of nodes then something has gone wrong!

These are all using safenode-manager with the specifying the port option.
