NEM Supernode Rewards Program

It is the newest (0.6.73). There are no data at that point on the testpage.

nem-docker now supports servant when you use the helper scripts (ie not yet in the docker hub images). To use, just git checkout https://github.com/rb2nem/nem-docker.git and follow the README.

The list is updated daily.
The results also are not shown correctly for now.
You can see the results by clicking on node name, it is shown tabs with the results and expected results.

What does responsiveness means? I mean, how is it possible that some nodes pass bandwidth, ping, computing power but fail responsivness

The responsiveness test issues 10 chain height requests concurrently to the node. It has to answer all 10 requests within 1 second. Currently i am not sure why some nodes have problems passing this test. All my nodes, no matter where they reside on this planet, are passing the test with few exceptions.

I use Nem-Installers to set up nodes on my servers with Debian Linux.
You can find Nem-Installers at different locations on GitHub, for example:



Nem-Installers hasn’t been updated for 9 months. Is it still safe to use it to set up a supernode? Or is there a better, more up-to-date, script now? Or would you advise to configure everything by hand?
Thanks!

You’re gonna need to do some configuration by hand anyway might as well do it all.
in theory nothing has changed in the installation process though so those installers could save you some work.

What would be the best location for nods server, for I have option to London, Tokyo, USA etc.

Tokyo i think would be good. US an Europe are afaik already covered pretty well.

Any difference left with 3 million XEM or more?

Wether you have 3 or 10 million won’t make any difference no.

Just set up yesterday. I am failing on bandwidth and responsiveness. My internet connection is 41mbps down . 15mbps up. I would imagine this is enough. Regarding the testing. Will it not depend on which country is actually running the test and the distance of that location to you ? My node is in Ireland btw

I think my Node is not strong enough, failing the Bandwidth and Responsiveness Test, what are the requirements?

Don’t worry about the responsiveness test for now, it seems there is something wrong with the test.
Also if your node is new, give it a day to see if it finally passes the tests. In the beginning there is not all information available (especially ping information to other nodes) so the master might pick an inappropriate node to do the bandwidth test.

Guys, we are in thesting phase. It helps, if you reports issues/bugs/weird behavior/strange test results, but don’t expect the whole testing process to be working 100% fine right now.

Also while we are in the testing phase, we are trying to find the right thresholds. So e.g. I personally think that upstream of 10 Mbps is a bit too high. But this has to be discussed with the dev team and the more data we collect, the faster we can find the right values.

Generally it is best for NEM if we have supernodes around the world. It is better for the supernodes (regarding passing the tests and rewards later), because the supdernodes test each other directly for some parameters. Others are done by the master test server which the devs run.

Tks for the clarification. How long is the testing phase likely to last (ballpark) and how much bandwidth is a node likely to use when supernodes go live?

I really don’t know…

That depends a lot on how many nodes NEM has and how much it is used.
However, I can show you In and Out statistics for a node (not supernode, so it is NOT bandwidth-tested, which itself creates traffic) I run:


Mixmaster, how does this translate to volume/month?
I see average around:
In: 125000Bytes/hour -> 90GB/month?
Out: 110000Bytes/hour -> 80GB/month?
Total around 170GB/month?

So for a supernode it will need even more?

125000 per hour = 90,000,000 in 30 days = 90 megabytes Not 90 GB

is there a new link regarding how to install NEM on amazon windows VPS? this one is broken https://forum.ournem.com/vps-nodes/how-to-easily-configure-and-install-nem-on-an-amazon-windows-ec2-vps/

Many thanks in advance!
