    BTC Can someone ELI5 the stress test to me?

    Can someone ELI5 the stress test to me?

    Why exactly is it going down? Will it affect the price of the coin? What do we expect to see after its over?

    No agreement reached in bangkok

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:20 PM PDT

    The miner meeting produced nothing fruitful in terms of any agreement on the network upgrade. Was interesting though.

    Edit: seems people have lots of questions. Will do an AMA day after tomorrow.

    I used to be a regular poster here and now it appears to be a clusterfuck of CSW posts.

    Where are all the posts about progress and software development?

    My thoughts on CTOR

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 09:59 PM PDT

    There is no evidence that

    A. Sharding requires CTOR and can work no other way

    B. Sharding clients are the only way forward, that all other ways forward will fail

    C. That "sharding clients" spanning many miners can even be built

    D. That if they are implementable, there will be no disruption to the underlying consensus process

    Sound familiar?

    There is also no evidence that:

    A. Lightning requires segwit and can work no other way

    B. Lightning clients are the only way forward, that all other ways forward will fail

    C. That decentralized routing lightning clients clients can even be built

    D. That if decentralized LN clients are ever built, there will be no disruption to the underlying consensus process

    Again: CTOR might very well be the best way forward, and if so I will support it wholly, but so far the arguments for it are a series of red flags.

    The community should demand proof of concept. That is the proper methodology. Just like we should have insisted on PoC for decentralized LN routing BEFORE pushing through segwit. Let's see a working laboratory implementation of "sharding" so that we can make a decision based on facts not feelings.

    Please set up your full node servers to log performance data before the stress test

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:24 PM PDT

    Hi folks. As you know, we're going to be getting a stress test tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to collect performance data on the BCH network. However, if we're not logging data when the test happens, the opportunity will be lost.

    I recommend that people configure their full nodes to log extra performance information during the test. Adding debug=bench and logips=1 to your bitcoin.conf will help. Make sure you have NTP installed and running properly on your machines so that your logfile timestamps are accurate. If we can collate a bunch of log files after the event, we can see when blocks arrive at each node and get some idea for how long block propagation takes. Including information about your full node's hardware and software configuration in the collated data will be helpful.

    It would also be good to set up monitoring software on your servers to log aggregate bandwidth usage, CPU usage, RAM usage, and disk traffic. Running 'time bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate' at occasional intervals can also provide information that can be useful to miners.

    Please chip in with other suggestions for monitoring commands to run. We'll also need volunteers to help with data analysis for various topics, so if you're into that, nominate yourself and tell people what kind of data you want them to collect and how to collect it.

    Some questions we might be interested in asking about the stress test:

    How many transactions can we get through before things start to bog down? Which parts of the system bog down first? What kind of block propagation latency do we get? How much CPU usage on each node do we get? Do nodes crash? What getblocktemplate latency will we see? Do any miners have their systems configured to generate blocks larger than 8 MB yet? Can block explorers keep up with the load? Will the bottleneck be transaction propagation or block creation? Will mempool size inflate like a balloon? How much of a backlog will we see in the worst case? Will the spam delay real people's transactions, or will the priority systems work well at getting the most important transactions through first? Will mempool synchrony suffer? How efficient will Xthin be? How efficient will Compact Blocks be?

    Why Aren't There 32MB Blocks?

    Can someone please ELI5 to me why we arent seeing 32mb blocks during the stress test yet?

    Will we see the first block over 8 meg? The stage is set.

    Treat the stress test as: users exercising the system. They have that right.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 12:53 AM PDT

    Just want to make the point that on Bitcoin Cash, we don't consider transactions as spam as long as they pay a fee.

    "It pays, it stays"

    The stress test is users exercising the system, to find out for better or worse what the practical limits are. This includes what limits miners are currently imposing on the size of blocks.

    Miners may have good reasons to limit throughput using the tools available to them. This includes preserving the health of the system, including economic full nodes.

    Users participating in the stress test may include potential future users, who would not like to reveal themselves by conducting severe stress operations under regular conditions. This planned community stress test provides general cover for anyone to measure if Bitcoin Cash is up to the tasks they have in mind, or not yet.

    When I say users, I include investors. Why would you invest in something unless it demonstrates that it can deliver what it promises?

    Remember, Bitcoin is a balance of powers and a system of incentives.

    From this test, miners will learn, users will learn, devs will learn. And then we will all make Bitcoin Cash even better.

    MiniPOS: an open source self-hosted 0-confirmation point-of-sale server: Maintenance release

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:58 PM PDT

    Project page: https://simonvolpert.com/minipos/

    Github mirror (not guaranteed to be up-to-date): https://github.com/simon-v/minipos

    A fully refunding live demo is available.

    Please note that the canonical project page has changed, and now resides on a trusted server.

    Major changes since last time:

    • Updated data source definitions
    • Received amounts are summarized in month and year view in the log viewer
    • You can no longer return to a completed or cancelled invoice by pressing "back" in the browser
    • Add option to send an email notification every time a payment is received
    • Various refactoring and bug fixes

    This program is, and will always be open source. I get no compensation for making it, except for acts of goodwill and the promise of a share from future hardware unit sales.

    Peace.

    Stress Test vs Spam

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 12:19 AM PDT

    What prevents someone malicious from using something similar to scale.cash to "stress test" BCH or BTC beyond it's breaking point? Are there any anti-spam measures in bitcoin other than fees? If we're spending our precious satoshis to "stress test" BCH, why not "stress test" BTC as well just for fun?

    Hello /r/btc! Right now BCH works best as cash compared to BTC and ETH. Since BCH is one of the main contenders in the crypto race, I wanted to let you know that I've created r/underbanked. This will be a community for crypto newcomers moving away from banks and relying on digital cash instead.

    Been watching transaction hwy wow!

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:56 PM PDT

    All these gocarts racing 32 wide down the ultramega highway are a sight to behold.

    Fees are like $0.004....dude. Makes me want to get on there and pump up the transaction volume. It's so cheap and easy on BCH, unlike the other one.

    Y'all ought to just do stress tests all the time. Like 24/7. Even if people have to just send BCH to yourself over and over. Any fees (pennies) will help support governance, so what is there to lose?

    It's probably worth it to not have to hear that nobody is using BCH or whatever is said in the dark annals of twitter.

    This isn't a stress test. This is the new normal!

    32 wide 24/7

    It's so blatant obvious CSW has forged evidence - i don't get how people in this community can even consider to belive him

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:43 PM PDT

    With this obscure page on his website:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20160502072011/http://www.drcraigwright.net/jean-paul-sartre-signing-significance/

    he tryed to convince people that he is Satoshi. But the presented signature dosn't proof he is Satoshi as the text implies.

    The signature just signs a transaction and has been copied from the Bitcoin blockchain.

    ​

    Oh c'mon guys i am begging you pleeeaaase use your f***ing brain!!!!!!!

    ​

    I don't want a guy thats pretending to be Satoshi to alter the path of Bitcoin Cash!

    I actually belive Satoshi disappeared because he wanted Bitcoin to be a decentralized movement without a strong leader.
