I managed to start harvesting. But today when I checked the section in the delegated accounts, I saw a red warning sign button, that no free slots on that node are available.
My question is now if I have to manually check back there and change the node, or if the “no free slot” is only for new people that want to harvest?
If you are harvesting, then you probably got that nodes last available harvesting slot
If you do not allow your browser to store data in local storage, the node you were using to harvest won’t be recorded.
It is not possible for now to know the node you are harvesting on without storing it (like nano does) or query all 500+ nodes to check if you are harvesting on it (which is way too much queries).
Maybe this is why you saw “No free slots”, app has no node set so first of list is used and it has no slots.
It does not means that harvesting stopped. If you know the node you were using you can select it from the dropdown and it’ll restaure the status (will lock node dropdown and play button will become a stop).
If you use the correct node and it does not restaure automatically it means the node rebooted and that you need to choose a node with free slots, type you password and click on start button to start harvesting again.
Does it ? When dropdown is locked and button is a stop ? I am pretty sure I thought about that case
Thanks very much!
So once it shows
Remote status
ACTIVE
I have not to check back there and can let it run. BTW I am using Nano Wallet.
woops, I thought he was on a different page.
It is just indicating that your remote account is enabled (declared as the remote of your account), not if your account is harvesting.
Harvesting itself happens on a node. If it is rebooted or put offline your harvesting will stop but your remote account is still declared as your remote, so status is “ACTIVE”.
It seems that I have some understanding deficit of how harvesting works in theory and practice.
Can you recommend an article were all of this is explained.
