Is this with the new version of the node manager?
Maybe first you want to try just to get one service running?
For the new version of the node manager, you can run the commands with --debug to see if there might be any clues in there. Or, if it’s the nodes that are not starting, have a look at their logs.
I’ll give that a try on the desktop for sure.
I’m being admittedly stubborn with these apple computers.
I just restarted nodes on the laptop but I am going to test two things, leaving it open without the display turning off and see if I earn over a few days time, if successful then again with all power saving off and any setting to keep networking and hard disk active on to see if it can earn with it shut.
You can make it so the display never sleeps even if closed, and some other power settings I mention above that could have been impacting connectivity previously.
If things work out, I definitely think that sharing the settings with other laptop users would be helpful.
If you maintained an ‘Apple Remote Desktop’ session from the desktop to laptop…maybe it would keep it alive.
At the least, you could monitor what happens with the lid down.
Great idea. I’ll look into that.
$80! Ouch. I might still do it. It’s been driving me bananas 
It’s an inbuilt function…no cost
Oh, interesting. I searched in spotlight and looked in utilities and didn’t see it so found it in the App Store, I’ll check your link, thanks.
ooops your right it’s a paid app, sorry…surely there’s another way…it’s a free feature on windows.
@chriso a quick interesting read on the Apple laptop situation I’ve been dealing with.
Seems as though the settings I changed are necessary but to be able to close it you also need an external monitor hooked up OR a third party app called ‘Amphetamine’ that keeps it awake when shut.
Maybe I CAN have my nodes run and use my laptop like normal!
We’ll see if they earn nanos with the lid open and no power saving settings first though.
So for silicon macs, you also have to install a ‘power protect’ script to have amphetamine do it’s thing: GitHub - x74353/Amphetamine-Power-Protect: Repository for Amphetamine's Power Protect feature.
Yeah, haven’t ventured that far yet but just read that in the app description. Supposedly the app will direct you to that script and config file.
Might check it out in a week or so, I’ll update on how things go.
Thats hilarious. 
Since I still can’t get the nodes to work using Launchpad, so I reset the nodes in Safenode-manager and restarted them, the nodes work but the resources and earnings in Launchpad show 0. If the nodes work, should Launchpad show resource and memory allocation and earnings?
Did you also restart launchpad after starting the nodes with safenode manager
Otherwise use vdash
flashbacks to the post-rave wakies ?
Yes, I started Launchpad again but still all values are 0.
Then that doesn’t work. Vdash is the way to do it
OR add nodes with no owner and do safenode-manager balance after 12 hours. But there are enough people saying they are not earning at the moment to be able to take it that uploads are slow at the moment and with 60,000 nodes in the network, the nanos are spread very thin
It has only been around 24h of my laptop being fully awake with 10 nodes running. No nanos as of yet but as I understand, uploads just started back up and some have not seen nanos yet. The one thing I didn’t do was add --interval to my startup command. Not sure if that was an impactful mistake?
Was just curious if others were seeing nanos roll in since upgrading?
I have seen some, but 8 groupings of 10 nodes have not earned yet. (100+ nodes over 3 machines)
I’ve earned 10, 10 and then 30 nanos each of the days since reset, with 24 nodes on VPS.
What I find odd is that the first two earnings were on a single node, in fact that node has earned ten every day. What are the odds when you have 24 nodes? Seems fishy, as it has for a long time so I finally created an issue about this.
I wonder if self encryption of small files (books) has some situations where chunks have close to each other xor address. Yea I know in theory they should be wildly different always. but maybe small files have this oddity
on 2 devices with 90 nodes 7 have 10 nanos and 4 have 20 or 30 nanos
