Been running a RPI 4, ostensibly as a member of wave 2, for a few weeks. (Referral code came 6/13). Experimentation had it up to 20 nodes (with an external drive) without noticeably interfering with the the rest of my network traffic, and nodes consistently show as running with connections when I check using node-launcher, safenode-manager, or vdash.
None of that seems to matter though - there have been a few times where vdash reports earned nanos, they inevitably disappear and the /rank bot has never acknowledged receiving anything. What’s up with that? How would I find out?
I’ve seen claims in discord that it’s supposed to take a while, but it’s hard to tell what constitutes “a while,” and it seems like there are other folks who are not effectively invisible.
What’s the issue with ARM? Half my nodes are running on ARM and I’m getting more nanos than some people I know running about half my node count fully on x64 hardware.
My monitoring is pretty lacking, but I used that as a basis to assume my nodes were working…
Oh gosh, the Pi4 topic is dying…
But i have a serious question for it, and that is What’s up with ethernet speeds?
I’m on a 500/20 connection and was seeing 50-80/20 from speedtest.net. On both Pis. Notwithstanding the nuances and proclivities of the web vs various cli versions, AND after a tech came out to inspect/fix the plant, i’m now regularly seeing 50/10 or less, same same on both Pi’s.
So I absconded with an underused Asus intel i7 box, set up a Debian partition and daaaaangg, first time I’ve seen the advertised 500/20, even hit 520/28 once.
3 boxes on the same ethernet through the same AX1800 with wifi disabled across the board. why the sam hell do my Pis choke down to 50 megs?
strangely, one of the Pis just woke up after getting a little overclock love. i set them both to 2.0 Ghz and Pi2 snagged 120 nanos within minutes (added to it’s 50 existing,) but the other Pi just kinda sits there doing nothing nano-wise.
Any thoughts on why these Pis are so constricted?
Wish I could hand you a real answer - the last Autonomi update fixed the problems I was having, so I can say that it is possible to get things working with RPI4.
On my PIs, it does look like the incoming and outgoing bandwidth usage for the Autonomi network are about even. Is it possible that regardless of the rates you’re seeing on Speedtest, performance on Autonomi is limited to your upload speed?
it stands to reason, for sure. but i just got a hold of an Asus i7 and i’ve got 40 nodes running on it without issue. that plus 10 on Pi1 and 7 on Pi2. I did use Pi-apps to install speedtest-cli and that showed an entirely different picture than the web version, downloads anyway, up is still pretty meager at < 20 Mbps.
Wouldn’t the addition of 40 more nodes REALLY bomb that upload bandwidth?
To answer @neo, I’m all wired, wifi is disabled on all devices, router included. i’m passing through the ISP gateway to a TPLink Archer21 with only these 3 machines attached. It’s just really weird to see 500/20 on one machine and BOTH Pis showing (now after speedtest-cli) 20-50% less.
i heard older Pis had issues sharing USB with ethernet, but Pi 4 i hear eth goes straight to CPU (think i quote scottefc or southside.) thanks for the input; imma dig a little bit more. since i started with Autonomi i’ve intended to set Pi1 as my little media server with really light OS and a handful of nodes. I’d imagine after beta the live network won’t take near as many resources and the Pi will probably fair better.
Is the Pi 1 100Mbps ethernet or 1Gbps link speed? Also check the router that the link speed is what it is supposed to be
Other than that Pi 1 and Pi 2 were not that powerful and slower uploads speeds compared to later Pi
Remember speed tests do not use as much computer resources than normal programs. They are very light on computer resources and ethernet overheads. Additionally node packets are majority small packets which take more processing and link overheads then the all large packets on a speed test. Small packets take as much routing work as a large packet. Also small packets will result in appearance of slower upload Mbps
