NEM Beta 0.4.36

Releases
#1

    Beta 0.4.36 is here!

    This is a mandatory release. Nodes running 0.4.34 or less will end up on a fork.

    [hr]
    Changes:
   


        [li]UI fixes (#160, #165, #169, #206)[/li]
        [li]We've fixed an issue calculation of poi, due to which some of the nodes ended up on fork (this is the cause of upcoming fork) FORK BLOCK: 51000
    This might cause some forking issues when we're gonna be near the fork block.[/li]
        [li]We've changed the way nodes are synching, smaller number of blocks is being pulled, this should allow people with slower internet to synch[/li]
        [li]Additionally max number of transactions in pulled blocks can be configured via nis.maxTransactions (it can be lowered), but default value should be fine[/li]
       

    P.S. We've put zip with recent db on bob: http://bob.nem.ninja/nis4.h2.zip (along with gpg sig)

        [hr]
       
        NEM requires Java 8
        You can start NCC and NIS with the following link:
        http://bob.nem.ninja/webstart/nem-monitor.jnlp
        Alternatively, you could just shutdown and restart NEM monitor by double-clicking the NEM icon on the desktop.
        Standalone version: http://bob.nem.ninja/
        [hr]
       
        Usual Troubleshooting Guide:
       

          [li]Standalone - shouldn't have issues with this release.[/li]
          [li]Webstart,

            [li]kill any running jawa/jawaws processes[/li]
            [li]Go to java control panel, and hit "View…" (can be run with javaws -viewer)

              [li]from "applications" remove both NCC and NIS[/li]
              [li]to be sure check resources and clean them all (this will cause redownload of everything, which might take a bit,
          but should help with most of the problems)[/li]
              [/li]
              [li]There is a detailed post on how to remove the NEM software prior to installing the new version in the ournem forum:
          https://forum.ournem.com/index.php?topic=2635.msg8834#msg8834[/li]
              [li]If you end up on a fork, go to c:\users<i><username>\nem\nis and delete data subdirectory[/li]
              [/li]
             

              Enjoy the new version :slight_smile:

Thank you :slight_smile:

NCCs graphics is still very laggy in Opera 25  :confused:

And I'm a bit scared of the fact that NEM is already occupying ~0,5 GB, how will this look if we in the future are going to be 10s of millions of users? After a few years the file will be a few PetaBytes  :frowning:

Downloaded and in sync.

Currently every project has that problem except for light wallets.
But it's a known problem so devs are working on it to keep this low or maybe in time even make the chain as we know it obsolete.
#5

when i have received a transaction, i know i can hover over the address to see the full address but their is no way to copy the address. would it be possible to have a menu pop up when you click on the address that gives the options to "add contact"/"send nem"/"send message"/ect?

If you click "details" you can select whatever you want from the pop-up.
Maybe not an elegant solution but it works.

I am not a dev and these things confuse me a bit, but it seems like to me that a snapshot of the chain should be sufficient at times; like something with all the current balances for all the accounts from like a week ago.  No need for each person to download every transaction that was ever made.  Well... in my head that's how it works anyhow. hahaha
#8

Changing nem.shutdownPath parameter in nis/config.properties has no effect.

Everyone is allowed to shutdown my NIS… not good at all.

#9

can't get NIS to start…

#10

can't get NIS to start...

Please be more specific did yo using windows linux or Mak  did you use standalon or web version
#11

check if http://cubieIP:7890/chain/last-block responds with anything.

Also you should consider running NCC on normal machine, and only run NIS on cubie. I think there was detailed instruction how to do that somewhere here.

#12

finnikola, since you are running the standalone version you can configure autoboot in the config.properties file in the NIS folder.

#13

finnikola, since you are running the standalone version you can configure autoboot in the config.properties file in the NIS folder.


But to configure autoboot in .properties file, i must insert a key in nis.bootkey. Where i find this key?

Then could someone tell me why:

    [li]running NIS on cubietruck and NCC on my PC: NCC says "NIS available"[/li]
    [li]running NIS and NCC on Cubietruck: NCC says "NIS unavailable" [/li]


    I don't understand it

If you have ncc running you don't need that key. You can just use the settings page.
Any chance you configured NCC to look for a remote NIS so it doesn't find it because both are on the cubietruck ?

Hi finnikola,

you can use any key you want as private key, it just must have 64 hex characters like
d1a29baaa4f5f4a2a2567bda2abf3771e443a8c9fa26a68c8ad70d71038ce657

Running both NIS and NCC on a cubie is too much for a cubie board. That is why it says "NIS not available".
Just run NIS on cubie and NCC on some other computer.

Is too much for a cubietruck ? It have 2gb ram instead of cubieboard that have only 1gb.

i try with a generic key like you suggest and now NIS on cubietruck in sinchronizing the blockchain  :D
#17

I am running NIS and NCC on a cubietruck and its ok. Sometimes its getting slow and I see error 500 NIS not available, but it just needs some time (usually seconds) and then it loads the transaction list or whatever I tried to do.

Just when there are 120 tx per block (which is the maximum possible for a block) its having issues, but never crashed since 0.4.36-BETA!

@finnikola: Are you running a gui? What is htop saying for your CPU and memora usage while running NIS and NCC?

Htop say memory usage 900/1999 and cpu all the 2 cores are 80-90.

It is strange that a cubietruck have difficulties to run NIS and NCC together...i read here on the forum that someone use a raspberry  with sucess
#19

Is NIS still synchronizing? In that case its ok, if both cpu cores are at 80-90. After NIS is synchronized it should not stay that high all the time.

My NIS on the cubietruck is running for 123,6 hours now and it has a CPU TIME of 118 hours.

Yes, it is still synchronizing  ;)
