Bitcoin sync speed is very dependent on ram. Use the dbcache bitcoin conf. During IBD, make it as high as possible. After sync you can remove it again.

I'm afk, but it looks like I'm not connecting automatically. Would anyone else mind also connecting and seeding?

have you posted this torrent on a tracker site? could you please? there are many to choose from

🤷‍♂ maybe I can put in your IP? lol

Try magnet link : https://ctxt.io/2/AAB4pZFwEA

Is anyone online today who may be interested in helping getting and seeding this? im having difficulties connecting to JP and although a few trackers show peers, i am unable to connect. Maybe if there are more peers?

Finally running my own Counterparty node 🥳 🎉 🎆

Manual install. It was a real pain. On almost every step some error. With help from chatgtp and you guys 🔥 i managed eventually.

How long can i expect the parse to take? (Default setting is not bootstrap, right?)

default setting in counterparty-core is to download bootstrap so should go fast.... as far as how long it will take for a full parse, according to Adam, it should take less than 24 hours.... also, wonder why you had such issues installing, according to Adam, it should be just 3 lines of code to run and the docker should download and setup everything... you having CP communicate with its own external node or something?

Either way, congrats on finally getting a CP node up and running 🙂

Glad to see that you are not trying to be first to market just to have the community test it for you.

Im on manual install. I don't think it uses bootstrap (?). Counterparty started parsing immediately. Now after 12 hrs we're at block 450k. Hopefully done by Monday morning. 🙏

With Docker I was never able to get Bitcoin to sync. Way too slow. Same whether on Windows or Ubuntu VM.

Manual install didn't work on Windows.

What finally worked was manual install on Ubuntu VM.

@jp_janssen it was slow even with the dbcache? How much ram do you have?

Maybe i celebrated too early? 😢
The VM crashed during the night.

I am able to restart where it crashed at least. Now continuing at block 470k

VM max 10gb.
My laptop has 16gb.

That should allow ~5gb for the dbcache

Maybe even more

Parsing complete 🚀

Block 896387. My tx and ledger hashes match tokenscan and xcp.io. The message hashes are different tho.

On xcp.dev and memepool all hashes are different.

Horizon is down.

Yay

Still down ?!

Horizon is up. All hashes are off 😱

I wonder if their "test suite" is actually testing if the calculated hashes are correct... I know at some point they were talking about updating CP to recalculate all hashes (which I think is a mistake, ppl should be able to check/verify the same hash has been used for blocks since the first block).... so maybe they integrated their new hash generation code... its sad, but no real way to know what is going on anymore 🤷️️️️️️

CP classic is the way

yep just verified... all hashes on horizon are different, none match, including hashes on block 866000 (when they changed/broke dispenser functionality).... so either their test suite is not comparing hashes hashes to the previous version, or they are recalculating new hashes using new code

eh... classic was more of just a point of standing up for what is right... I dont expect ppl to continue using it unless they absolutely want the dispenser functionality that was lost (origin, etc)..... XChain platform is the way forward I think.. but time will tell 🙂

neway... enough talk about CP and classic and xchain... I know Juan wants to keep this channel most clear of that stuff 🙂

Wtf is that code.

My eyes are bleeding.

Jejej

that is some of the code for the "swap" functionality... xchain has orders (DEX), dispensers, and swaps (swap one token for another)... similar to how things work on the DEX, but with swaps, the swap amounts are exact, and the swap can take place ocross chains.... ie, you could put up a swap to swap a RAREPEPE on the BTC chain with 1M of RAREDOGECASH on the DOGE chain.... since the logic lives in a component above the blockchain encoder/decoder, the platform can work with any blockchain.... got some really cool shit planned for cross-chain functionality... "swaps" is just the basic version to demonstrate that you can have one platform that can perform actions across multiple blockchains 🙂

anyway... if you want to know more, prolly best to chat about it in the xchain platform channel at @XChainPlatform

and... the code shouldn't make your eyes bleed... every line has normie text explaining what is going on, as well as very simple logic / checks to follow along with.... easy peasy for any dev to figure out what is going on and contribute / build on it 🙂
