You cant get a folder cos you didnā€™t finish all your PR.

Not much to add here as a non-tech guy, apart from the fact that i truly appreciate all the work all of you are putting in the testing of a network I truly believe in! Thanks

Still no chunks for my node.
Looks like something is wrong with decentralization again.
But at least network did not crashed - I can still download file, which was uploaded yesterday.

Did anyone complile arm binaries? Or would the arm-darwin build work on Ampere arm-ubuntu?

I did up- and download a 600MB file yesterday, and it still downloaded fine just a minute ago.

Now Iā€™ll try to upload something like 1,2GB.

I compiled for ARM on an AWS T4g.medium Instance. It works well and I have chunks. Not a huge quantity but there is no issue with ARM. I doubt the Mac binary would work on AWSā€™s ARM but itā€™s worth trying! If I get time Iā€™ll try that as well and report.

Edit: OOps! Replied to the wrong message!

Edit: Actually, no, right message, just quoted the wrong person. Iā€™m no good at this modern stuff.

My laptop had worn out power adapter, and I tried to change it to a new one in the middle of the 1.2GB upload. The laptop shut down immediately on unplugging the old one. It had been uploading for about an hour at that point. I restarted the upload now, letā€™s see what it says. It might not have enough time to finish before I have to shut down again.

Letā€™s add some pussies then :slight_smile:

@qi_ma what is this total_mb_received":667.36505,"total_mb_transmitted":163.15547} as you can see above record_store is empty.

It feels like weā€™re turning a corner!

Hopefully these testnets will be more accessible to less technical folk soon - would love to jump on board but its a bit too technical at the mo - would need a guide for 5 years olds :sweat_smile:

I think thatā€™s system network activity but not sure. Iā€™m curious about some of the metrics too - maybe take a look in the sn_metrics crate and see what is being logged.

Iā€™m also interested in the bytes read/written values for ā€˜processā€™ but havenā€™t looked myself yet to see what they are. Bytes written is almost* always zero but read fluctuates up and down :man_shrugging:

*I just saw bytes written briefly go up to 600,000 (and read also went up to about half that) for a few seconds, so that was probably a replication and I conclude that bytes read/written refers to process (node) network activity.

I may update the vdash display now I understand better what the metrics mean.

thatā€™s regarding your network (eth0) interface during the period. will include all in/out flows across your programs.
meanwhile total_mb_read and total_mb_written, are only about your own safenode process usage. However it also contains logging access and transmission to network, in additonal to chunk files creation .

@qi_ma

Whats the general consensus so far? A success? Or still very much a work in progress? or in between ? :slight_smile:

Thanks
