so what do we do?
MF
01:05
Mr Flintstone
ugh why aren’t they paying attention to this telegram chat
OK
01:05
O K
Well they might be
MF
01:05
Mr Flintstone
if they are, then they just want the block rewards I guess
OK
01:05
O K
It would help to know if there is a max fork length
MH
01:05
Mandel Hoff
I think we hope to stay ahead of them until we reach the max fork length recovery - I recall it might be 20 blocks, but not sure. Zack could confirm.

In reply to this message
well zack can enforce the blockchain from amoveopool2
01:06
and they lose all funds for not cooperating with the community
OK
01:06
O K
I'm not concerned so much about losing blocks, as with that they are nearly equal hashrate, and just behind the longer chain
MH
01:07
Mandel Hoff
The very immediate threat is that our nodes would throw away the last 14 blocks and take their fork if they jump ahead.
MF
01:07
Mr Flintstone
Yeah
01:07
FYI don’t do any important transactions right now if that wasn’t obvious
OK
01:07

Good old dominating hashpower
OK
01:10
O K
2 blocks now
01:10
since 16 blocks
01:16
So, if we pass the max fork length, there will be Amovirgina and Amoveo forks ?
01:17
We could double our monies guys 😂

In reply to this message
Wait, do amoveos reproduce?
01:18
like .. they have male and female and xxx?
MH
01:18
Mandel Hoff
I see a variable in the code called fork_tolerance that is set to 50.
OK
01:18
O K
😂
01:18
In reply to this message
I was lookingfor that too Mandel, good catch
01:19
50 is quite long
01:19
That could do a lot of damage to someone if they weren't following what was happening
01:19
Maybe an OTC trade

01:20
Paul N. | BAND (🅑) - I'll never DM you
Ok, PM me if you wanna buy some veo alright?
OK
01:20
O K
haha
P|
01:21
Paul N. | BAND (🅑) - I'll never DM you
would love to do it now 😍
MF
01:47
Mr Flintstone
buying veo 50% off
01:48
Because of fork probability
OK
01:48
O K
Interesting strategy
MF
01:50
Mr Flintstone
really it should be nearly 100% off if they have majority hash rate
OK
01:51
O K
Well, if they had majority hashrate, they'd have a longer chain
MF
01:51
Mr Flintstone
eventually
01:52
it seems like #1 priority for amoveo should be node stability right now
01:52
unless I am missing something
01:53
let me know if u agree
01:53
we can’t keep having situations where nodes ignore blocks from other nodes
I
01:54
Iridescence
It's hard to tell whether nodes intentionally or unintentionally ignore blocks
01:54
But I guess if we are confident that nodes don't unintentionally ignore blocks, then we can be sure when they are intentionally doing so

Paul N. | BAND (🅑) - I'll never DM you
let's have 5 more pools like this, and we're good
MF
01:55
Mr Flintstone
The unintentional block ignoring happened to @potat_o two nights ago
P|
01:55
Paul N. | BAND (🅑) - I'll never DM you
and I'm just gonna stop mining
MF
01:55
Mr Flintstone
I do not think this is intentional, but you are right that we can’t know for sure
MH
01:56
Mandel Hoff
It's not possible to know, but it appears to have happened to two very independent nodes within a 30 hour time span. It seems like nodes are crashing in to this, and any node with 51% in that state will unintentionally "attack".
MF
01:57
Mr Flintstone
yeah, that is why I think it makes sense for the focus to be on fixing this issue
OK
01:59
O K
For one thing, I'm hodling veo
01:59
I've not sold any
02:00
I want the network to be stable and for veo to grow naturally
02:01
MH
02:02
Mandel Hoff
Fork started 25 blocks ago. Half-way if it has a 50 block max.
JM
02:03
J M
i think if you'd want to enforce node uptime and prevent ignoring blocks you'd have to punish ignoring blocks, intentionally or unintentionally, a la Proof of Stake
02:05
otherwise it's all reliant on good faith
OK
02:44
O K
Does anyone know which of Zack's nodes is the one he's using for mining?
S
02:44
Sy
I just resynced mine again
OK
02:45
O K
Welcome to the long chain
MF
02:46
Mr Flintstone
is the 50 block max a fork choice rule? I’m just a little confused how it exactly works
OK
02:47
O K
It's hard coded into the nodes
MF
02:50
Mr Flintstone
yeah, but it’s an additional fork choice rule in addition to “we will use the chain with most work”
02:51
?

does that unknown miner getting back on the chain or catching up?

Oh, it is 50 then. Not 20. My mistake.
02:57
In reply to this message
The 84 one
02:58
In reply to this message
No, it is in the configuration file. You can make it more or less, and you node works fine.

If it is bigger, then the memory requirements of running a full node is bigger.

i mean when there was a problem with amoveopool2 forking we could discuss it here

03:03
what do we do?
OK
03:04
O K
It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the next 20 blocks or so
Z
03:06
Zack
They seem frozen to me. Are you sure they are building a fork?
How could he get 11 blocks behind since he has so much more hash power?
OK
03:07
O K
Yes, the spread has been widening, but they have been building
03:07
Or they may have recently frozen
03:07
But at least at one point, they were building
03:08
The split happened around 10780
Z
03:09
Zack
Are both sides frozen? No blocks for 17 minutes
03:13
there is another block from amoveopool2. we are not frozen.
OK
03:14
O K
That was a long one
MF
03:16
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
I am not so sure they are >50% of net hash
Z
03:17
Zack
In reply to this message
they got 30 blocks in a row at one point, so they were >50% then. Maybe not now.
03:17
they have been stuck at 806 so long, I think they are crashed.
MH
03:20
Mandel Hoff
They went +1
Z
03:22
Zack
so weird. why are 3 nodes on the fork? why are they mining so slowly?
OK
03:22
O K
Right? it's been really weird to watch it develop
03:22
for awhile we were 2-4 blocks away from each other, and it would fluctuate
S
03:23
Sy
"The Unknown Miner
"? 😂
MH
03:25
Mandel Hoff
About 10 blocks before the fork, there was another ~9 block fork that our nodes threw away and joined their fork.

Can you put a note out on Twitter, probably many people don’t read Telegram.
Z
03:26

A note saying what?
J
03:27

That whatever IP above is on a fork. Or wait until it resolves?

how fast is mandels miner with a 1070ti/1080?
J
04:14
Jim
Trying to look at channels on light wallet. Loaded a wallet file. Typed in amount to lock in (in Satoshis?), channel delay (0?) and duration (1000 blocks?), clicked make channel, nothing seemed to happen. Clicked save channel data to file, got s 2 byte file containing {}. I’m doing something wrong?
Z
04:15
Zack
In reply to this message
Yes. There is a minimum delay or else it won't work. I think 100 blocks.

This is how many blocks you have to stop your partner if they try closing at the wrong channel state.
OK
04:15
O K
In reply to this message
I get close to 2GH/s on 1080
04:15
It's been awhile since that miner has been tweaked
04:18
And to be fair I haven't spent very much time at all playing with the variables
04:18
I think I use 96 168
Z
04:23
Zack
The optimal values probably changed when the POW algorithm changed
Z
04:42
Zack
30 minutes at the same blockheight
OK
04:43
O K
hmm
04:43
Unknown Miner is back
04:47
How long has he been back?
Z
04:48
Zack
more than 15 minutes I think
OK
04:48
O K
That's strange
Z
04:48
Zack
is your pool ok? why no blocks?
OK
04:48
O K
Everything seems ok, cards get work
04:48
I could reset the node
04:48
Let me give it a shot
Z
04:49
Zack
it isn't giving weird error messages?
04:49
it could be from randomness
OK
04:49
O K
quite a bit of talk_helper failed_connect
04:49
Let me screenshot
04:50
After the 17 min delay last time I reset the mining node, it had displayed some erorrs before, which it doesn't usually
04:50
this time it hasn't though
Z
04:51
Zack
you got a block. I guess it was randomness
OK
04:51
O K
Z
04:51
Zack
43 minutes.
Poisson distributions are like that
04:52
trie died! that looks pretty serious. I think your consensus state must be corrupted.
OK
04:52
O K
I'll clean and restart
04:54
It's syncing now
04:55
Is this something I should make more use of? I tried it a couple times, but couldn't tell if it was doing anything block_absorber:recover(quick).%only reads 90% of blocks, but is faster. what does it look like when it's working properly?
04:55
Usually I just re-download the blocks
Z
04:56
Zack
Im not sure if it is working right now. I think when you use it, it just ends up downloading the blocks normally.
04:57
it is supposed to read all the blocks from the hard drive, and then start syncing with the network to see if there are any more blocks after.
OK
05:05
O K
It's strange that TUM is not getting any blocks
05:07
Looks like you got one
05:07
Cool
MF
05:14
Mr Flintstone
shout out to randomness
OK
05:19
O K
Looks like he's full steam ahead again maybe
Z
05:21
Zack
yes, we are getting a good mix now
Z
05:58
Zack
and now TUM makes 8 blocks in 11 minutes.
haha
I wonder what they are thinking.
MF
06:03
Mr Flintstone
nice
06:04
was it a known pubkey?
Z
06:04
Zack
my mistake, I was looking at the wrong oracle. It seems like no one made a bet.
MF
06:05
Mr Flintstone
haha. Looks like there is still a free lunch on the table!
Z
06:05
Zack
it shouldn't be possible to make oracle_bet txs right now anyway. there is no oracle in the betting phase.
MF
06:05
Mr Flintstone
oracle comes after what block?
Z
06:06
Zack
12000, that is when we will know the next difficulty.
it is over/under at 27 000 th/block
06:06
we almost certainly wont increase in difficulty 50x necessary to reach this target.
MF
06:07
Mr Flintstone
yeah that’s why I think there is free money to be made
Z
06:07
Zack
oh yes, I am betting the wrong direction. you are right
MF
06:07
Mr Flintstone
can you help us understand exactly what the figure means after you hit “lookup market” on the light node?
06:08
The x axis represents a probability?
Z
06:08
Zack
the graph that is black and blue?
MF
06:08
Mr Flintstone
yeah
Z
06:08
Zack
probability and price are the same thing. they are the x-axis
06:08
the y-axis is the number of veo at stake
MF
06:08
Mr Flintstone
what does the y axis represent
Z
06:08
Zack
this is a market depth chart
MF
06:08
Mr Flintstone
so, there is 0.3 veo in total on the order book?
Z
06:08
Zack
06:09
In reply to this message
correct.
MF
06:10
Mr Flintstone
users can market sell a total of 0.1 veo at a price of ~15%?
06:11
hmm I think I have been misinterpreting. I think I see what you mean by depth chart now
06:11
so there are no limit sell orders on the book? Only limit buy orders?
Z
06:11
Zack
I am betting about 0.2 at 1 to 3 odds.
So to match that entire bet, you could put up 0.6 veo at 3 to 1 odds.
06:11
there are limit orders in both directions.
06:12
oh, in the current moment there are only orders of "true" and no orders of "false".
MF
06:12
Mr Flintstone
I think maybe it would help with the abstraction if we saw an actual order book along with the depth chart
Z
06:12
Zack
you can buy "true" and you can sell "true". you can buy "false" and you can sell "false."
MF
06:12
Mr Flintstone
speaking only for myself though so others are free to chime in
Z
06:12
Zack
you can see your personal orders in the light wallet
06:13
yeah, an order book would be a cool upgrade
MF
06:13
Mr Flintstone
but you can’t see all of the available liquidity in an order book format just yet
Z
06:13
Zack
you can see all the liquidity
MF
06:13
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
I think it’s starfing to make more sense to me now, thanks
Z
06:13
Zack
the graph goes from 0 to 100, that is every possible price. so you see it all.
MF
06:14
Mr Flintstone
so, if I fill your order of true, that means I am taking the other side?
Z
06:14
Zack
I am betting on true, so if you bet on false, and our trades can match, then they will be matched.
06:14
you have to be willing to pay a high enough price for them to match
MF
06:14
Mr Flintstone
got it
06:16
There is 0.2 at 2:1 odds and 0.1 at like 5:1 odds?
06:17
(33% chance and 17% chance respectively)
Z
06:18
Zack
If you bet at price 0.2, then it is 1:4, a 20% chance of wining.

And if you bet at price 0.9, it is 9:1
A 90% chance of winning.
MF
06:19
Mr Flintstone
0.2 veo available to be bet against at 2:1 odds I mean, sorry
06:19
in this particular market
Z
06:19
Zack
Assuming the market is efficient
06:19
In reply to this message
Yeah, that is what is happening. So I miscalculated before. You only need 0.4 to bet against the 0.2.
06:20
At that price
MF
06:20
Mr Flintstone
very cool. Thank you for helping me to understand
06:20
I think I will make a bet against this tonight, unless anyone wants to front run me
06:20
at any rate, I think I’ll write a simple primer to help other people understand how to use and interpret these markets
Z
06:21
Zack
In reply to this message
I'll move the market now. That server isn't accepting bets.
06:26

Here, I moved it to the other server.
MF
06:29
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
does it take time for the depth chart to show up accuratelyV
Z
06:29
Zack
I haven't made any bets yet, so if it empty, then it is working correctly.
MF
06:30
Mr Flintstone
oh makes sense
Z
06:30
Zack
I found a problem with closing my channel with the first server.
MF
06:30
Mr Flintstone
lol I assume you are going to make the odds less juicy
Z
06:30
Zack
I don't want to encourage people to make channels now, while it isn't possible to close them.
OK
06:31
O K
So, we have done 50x since block 4000 (roughly)
Z
06:31
Zack
great
OK
06:32
O K
This is whether we can do another close to 50x H/b in 1000 more blocks
Z
06:32
Zack
it averages out the entire 2000 block period, so even if we went 50x by the end, it wouldn't be enough.
OK
06:33
O K
Gotcha
Z
06:33
Zack
I think it is less than 1% chance we will reach this difficulty by block 12000
MF
06:33
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
Do not underestimate the tails
OK
06:33
O K
If everyone bets one way, what is the benefit to betters?
MF
06:33
Mr Flintstone
In reply to this message
there has to be liquidity to make a bet that will pay out one way or the other
Z
06:34
Zack
In reply to this message
if your bet doesn't get matched, then you just get your money back regardless of the outcome.
OK
06:34
O K
👍
06:36
And once someone matches a bet, they may choose to unmatch the bet before the results are in?
Z
06:41
Zack
In reply to this message
no, once your bet is matched, then you have shares.
If you buy shares of the opposite type, then you can combine the 2 kinds of shares and change them into veo.

So if you buy shares of type 1 for price 0.6, and buy shares of type 2 for 0.5, then combine them. you lost about 9% of the money you spent.

If you buy shares of type 1 for price 0.1, and shares of 2 for price 0.4 and combine them, then you doubled your money.
06:42
This is how derivatives trading works without blockchain too.
OK
06:42
O K
Thanks for the explanation. I think I've been confused because I asked about changing bets, and you said you could change the bet even after the event is passed. But I see now why that wasn't the right question to ask
Z
06:45
Zack
In reply to this message
you can buy and sell shares of either type, even after we know the outcome of the event.
06:45
Once we know the outcome, the price will go almost all the way into one direction.
06:46
so if you don't want to wait for the oracle to settle (which takes at least 1000 blocks), you can get your money out more quickly by buying shares of the opposite type
OK
06:46
O K
Cool
Z
06:48
Zack
We can probably reuse some documentation about betting from augur.
It is pretty complicated explaining unmatched bets vs shares.
Z
07:39
Zack
I restarted the node, and now closing channels works correctly.
I added a print statment, so next time this happens we will know more about what is going on.
07:41
there are about 14500 veo now.

The types of errors we get now are a little different from before.
It is still the case that the error is happening when the database is getting corrupted. Which means it must be related to the garbage collection or pruning of the consensus state.

It had been the case that mining nodes crashed more often, and nodes crashing at different heights. Now we crash in unison, and it doesn't matter if you are mining. But the lead miner crashes less frequently.
I think that the problems with garbage collection related to mining have been mostly fixed, and now we are dealing with some problem with pruning in relation to forks.
Something around here: https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo/blob/master/apps/amoveo_core/src/consensus/chain/recent_blocks.erl#L59
18:04
I think I see a problem.
It seems like we are deleting the parents of blocks in this list. But if there is a fork, then 2 blocks will share a parent, so it attempts to delete the parent twice.
18:05
One way to fix this is to move the "remove_before" function from recent_blocks.erl to inside the tree_data gen_server.

I know this could probably be easily fudged, but would it make sense to put a node version number on the explorer.html for each node

You could even hide it in the same color, so it would require highlighting or something
Z
23:05

In reply to this message
Thanks for the heads up.
Maybe this is because I didn't resync that node after the software update, so maybe it had a corrupted database since before the update. I am resyncing now.
OK
23:05
O K
So people who don't communicate with us, we will know?

23:06

is this version number for whenever I do a software update?
OK
23:06

Yes, something along those lines

23:06

Should it be the hash of the github commit that the node is using?
OK

That's an interesting idea

23:07

There is already a version number, but it is intended for stopping txs replay on different sides of consensus forks.

Okay

Would it be much trouble to add a time stamp to the explorer.html information for who found a block?

I think that turing on block_absorber:recover messed some things up. and it recovers a lot slower than downloading the blocks from a peer.

thank you, will do it, we need more nodes on the network. Zencash has like 8000 nodes lol

I disagree.
Having more nodes doesn't make a difference once we pass like 20.
02:52
What is important is the marginal cost to launch one more node.

And for us it is a low cost.

they wanted to relay z-z transactions and IPFS through big network of nodes which in theory sounds great

I'm getting substantially less with my same miner setup, to the point where it's getting more difficult to estimate
02:56
What variables do we know right now?
02:57
I have earned 2.25 since amoveopool2 when live, but I did have some short downtime, even if we assume that's a whole day of downtime
Z
02:57
Zack
We know how many hashes it takes on average to find a block reward. We know the block reward size.
02:57
So we just need to know how much it costs to do 1 gh/s for a day.
OK
02:58
O K
My hashrate is like 5.4 GH/s
Z
02:58
Zack
But you purchased hardware, right?
I am wondering about people who rent hardware at the current market price.
02:59
It is hard to estimate the daily cost of purchased hardware
OK
02:59
O K
I know, I'm just using my numbers to get how much hashrate = how much daily veo, instead of network numbers
02:59
I think the network numbers are accurate now, but before I just used my numbers
Z
03:00
Zack
You get 5.4 gh/s, and how muh did the chips cost? We can at least calculate the amount of time to recuperate your costs.
OK
03:00
O K
In reply to this message
This will jump to where we were calculating last time

03:01

Cool, it was about $10 per day per gh/s

I paid $27.36 for 24 hours worth of 6gh

So you would need like 35 or 40 Veo to cover the cost.

In reply to this message
So around $4.50 per gigahash good to know.
03:03
It probably changed when the mining algorithm changed.
03:03

Yeah
Z
03:05
Zack
So it cost something like $26 to mine a Veo now.
And if the difficulty goes up by 3x, it will be about $75 per Veo.

So it looks like we will survive the next retargeting, just barely.

Oh, he said $3 per hour, and I read it as $3 per day. So that estimate was off by a factor of 24.

It is like $50 per Veo with a v100

and yet ppl pay 80$....why bother calculating cost per gh?

I'm going to say I got 2.5 veo in 5 days (this is not quite accurate), that is 0.5 veo per day with 5.4GH/s ... Meaning 8 GH/s (by Iri's numbers) gets 0.75 Veo per day (one V100) which would cost what?
03:17
One V100 for one day
Z
03:17

$72 per day for a v100 they said
03:17
Same as $3 per hour

For $72 per day.
So about $57.6 per Veo by that estimate
OK
03:27
O K
Great
03:27
The 20s seems a bit low, that would mean they are either getting much better prices for rented power, or they have much better miners

Only one person claimed to get that hashrate
03:28
Maybe they misestimated or something
OK

So $50-100 seems a reasonable range that people could be paying per Veo now

My 1080 at around 2.5 GH/s gets about 0.1 - 0.2 VEO per day

TITAN V?

yes

09:14

it's roughly the same class as the V100
09:14
but weaker
09:14
so I would guess around 5-6 GH/s

Why do we need more block reward in that scenario? If it gets more expensive to mine, miner will just sell Veo at higher price.

Paul N. | BAND (🅑) - I'll never DM you
Increasing block reward doesn't help -- that's my point. The only purpose that it serves is creating inflation. Mild inflation is good for nudging people to spend their coins, but at this point there is no pratical use of Veo in any way that economically benefits them yet. It allows late-comers to make more money -- that's all inflation will do right now.

well idea is not to inflate it to heavens or hell. Mild inflation is good. The whole thing with early adopters is what pisses me off in crypto. Literally some guy mined bitcoins for fun and now he is stupidly rich whale and can manipulate market with his friends. Is this good or fair? No, not really. If people come later does not mean that these people are worse and deserve less reward. For sure there should be a balance.
MF

Mr Flintstone
whatever happens happens
11:11
not about fair or unfair
11:12
my guess is people are greedy and do not want the inflation rate to do anything but be positive yet monotonically decreasing which is consistent with an unchanged block reward
Z
11:14
Zack
my guess is that people are greedy, so they want the price to go up, which means they want Amoveo to be useful.
Amoveo is for markets, so it is as useful as the market cap is big. So this means they want a big market cap. Therefore, I am expecting most token holders to want the block reward to be increasing over time.
MF
11:15
Mr Flintstone
the market will optimize the price for any usage that participants demand
11:16
the market relative to the exchange rate of amoveo
11:16
not betting markets
Z
11:17
Zack
In reply to this message
the market cap and the growth rate are 2 different things that should be optimized separately.
No reason to artificially force them to move together. If you connect them this way, then only one can be optimized.
MF
11:18
Mr Flintstone
if the market cap is not big enough to support the economic activity participants demand, the price of amoveo will rise and with it the market cap

It isn't crashing because it runs out of ram.
It is crashing because the cpu is slower, so race conditions happen more frequently.
Amoveo uses very little ram.
The limit is something like 280 mb, and actual usage stays below 100 mb.
03:49
My mining node crashed.
I guess there is still another race condition for the database somewhere.

I found another way that the database is getting corrupted.
Last time I fixed it so now the database can correctly handle forks that are 1 block long, but we are still corrupting the database if a fork is more than 1 block long.

A temporary solution would be to stop garbage collecting any orphan blocks.
This will be a memory leak, but if you resync the blocks, you can recover the lost memory.
It isn't perfect, but it is a lot better than what we are doing now, and it means we can sync faster.

Thanks guys, we hope this will be a good contribution for Amoveo. We used to mine on amoveopool in the beginning of Amoveo, and our impression was that the hashrate estimate could be improved, and we feel like we reached our goal. We also share the same fee rate of amoveopool2 which would make it competitive. The most important factor would still be to further decentralizing the currency in order to stabilize it and make attacks harder to achieve.

It will not be as the old official C miner is still using the pre block 9000 hashing as can be seen here https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo-c-miner/blob/master/amoveo_pow.c#L59-L65

I pushed the upgrade to github for the software for the full node to fix how forks are handled. hopefully this prevents the database from getting corrupted so it wont crash so often any more.

This causes a small data leak, which will consume around (txs per block) * (200 bytes) of ram every time there is an orphaned block.
But when you resync the blocks, all the orphans are ignored. so this ram is recovered.
08:20

you can use the partial-hash-fix branch of the code for mining after block 9000.

Oof course, this is the projected valuation based on USD spent on mining alone, and not including utilities and speculative factor. If the blockreward remains, we should see $10k/veo.

well if you did not notice on whattomine profit from mining zcash and ethereum is very little right now. So even at price 100$ and diff going up amoveo is still more profitable to mine. Maybe it is not that profitable to rent gpus from amazon cloud to mine after diff went up 4x- that could be true, though it needs to get assessed. But if you own your gpus you should not get huge profit on them anyways

I think if we all use the same kind of mining hardware and software, then it becomes unstable and the difficulty could start oscillating.

If there is variety in our strategy, then it is more stable and less likely to oscillate.

I am trying to calculate the limits of the supply curve that can result in the stable mode.

The forumula for retargeting now is assuming that the number of miners wont change when the difficulty changes. This is not the case.
I think if we take the geometric mean between the 2 difficulties, and use that instead. It might work a lot better. I am writing this up more formally with math to be sure.

I started making a document exploring why our current retargeting might not be ideal.
06:53
It seems to me that as the profit margin gets smaller, the retargeting becomes less stable, and we are more likely to end up in a oscillating state.
So we could dampen the movements a little to prevent the oscillation.
J

I am starting to think that all oscillations are not necessarily bad.
07:29
As long as enough people are mining and making a profit so we keep getting blocks, then it is going well.
Both the fast mode and slow mode are different competitions that suit different kinds of miners.
They are both effective at converting electricity into Veo. It is hard to tell which is more effective, and for that reason it is good to do both. It reduces our risk.

Amoveopool2.com was doing well on the new node, but once Zack's pool found a block, the new node was left behind (not given updated headers). I manually downloaded the headers for that block and added it to the peers list (but doing so did not cause it to show up as a peer on my other node). I'm switching back to the other .9 node for now since I don't know if the problem will persist overnight, which would result in a fork. This fork was a cause of the long blocktime for block 12028
09:11
I'm leaving the 45.77.196.69 node running with the manual changes, to see what happens, but it may be necessary for now to add 45.77.196.69 to the default peers list, along with the .4 node.

Hey Zack, few questions on calling "spend" API via HTTP. I've been looking through the code/docs but I wanted to ask/confirm a few things: (1) Is the fee subtracted automatically from the amount? If I send 1, will the recipient get (1 - 0.00152050)? (2) The API does not return the transaction hash of the newly created spend transaction, correct? If that's right, is there a straightforward way to get that transaction hash? Does that involve tx_pool:get() somehow? (3) Batching is not possible at the moment, correct? At least, I cannot see how to create a transaction with multiple recipients/amounts.
Z
15:48
Zack
1) no. The spender pays the fees, not the receiver.
2) the TX hash is a meaningless value. You couldn't do anything useful with it.
3) each spend TX has one sender and one receiver.
15:51
Deleted Account
Thanks for the help. So on (1), if I want someone to receive 1 I would send them (1 + 0.00152050) from my end. And On (2), can't the TX hash be used to see if it was included in a block? Isn't it possible for a TX to eventually be 'evicted' from the mempool after a long-ish period of time? Or is it guaranteed to eventually be included in a block once it's in the mempool?
Z
15:53
Zack
1) false. That would give them more than 1.
2) false.
A tx in the mempool might get deleted, especially if no other node stores the tx in their mempool.
15:57

Ok so the fee is simply deducted in the "background" from my account, I don't actually adjust the amount I'm sending via API by the fee amount. Got it. Thanks for the help.
