Found the logs. Coming right away.

You can see that there are two large logs.
First large log is the first attempt of 10 hours or so.
Then I stopped it and changed autoboot to true and put the delegated harvesting key in the config.
Tried to start it a couple of times, but no success. Now it works again; but slowly as I said.
The I/O operations (writing to disk) seems to be terrible slow on your vps:
“chain update of 400 blocks (146 transactions) needed 23828 ms”
At a later time you vps finally has problems with network operations:
“SEVERE Http Status Code 500: WRITER (org.nem.core.connect.ErrorResponse )”
The latter is probably a result of the former.
So could you please try the follwing on your vps in a console:
dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync
That writes 1 kilobyte od random data to your disk and repeats 1000 times.
On a normal vps it should only take a few ms. On Alice3 for example the result is:
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.00428755 s, 245 MB/s
You mean within Command Prompt? (I have windows)
‘dd’ is not recognized as an internal or external command etc…
EDIT; I did a research and I have this; http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/thin-provisioning
oh, i thought you had a linux system as everyone else who uses a vps ^^
Probably best to use a tool from the internet, there should be plenty.
(why are you using windows anyway? It eats too much ram on such a small vps, try switching to debian 
)
Windows because I never used something else, I’m just an end user who is enthousiastic about blockchain technology.
Switching to Debian now; so I have to start all over. I have much to learn; can you give me an advice to start?
Is there a Java version for Debian? How to install?
There is a tutorial for ubuntu:
Basicly you have to install java and then extract the standalone version. You only need the NIS part (NCC is not needed) and you need to install the servant as well. Edit the configuration of NIS and servant to contain your delegated private key.
You can use putty to connect to a node.
If you have some specific question don’t hesitate to ask.
Hi guys,
I want to be a supernode in Japan.
I have an enough XEM.(Through a remote NIS)
I’m going to run a local NIS, and using a macOS, Can I became a supernode if I will make a right steps written above?
Thank you.
Sure anyone with a node which is strong enough and with enough xem can be a supernode

Sorry to the node owner of supernode ‘Sylvie’. I accidentally changed the public key, but i fixed it already ^^
Do you have an instruction about how to open ports on Debian?
Will this instruction work? http://superuser.com/questions/930470/how-to-open-ports-on-a-vps-server-by-ipv4-mapping
Usually on a Debian vps all ports are open by default. I would just test that first before changing any firewall settings.
Meanwhile my Windows machine is synced and is running. Started the servant app as well. I can see my node at a node explorer 85.214.xx.xx:7890.
But not at http://supernodes.nem.io/. Does this mean I didn’t pass the test? Or should I send a message via the client first?
Ps. I have troubles installing Debian; can I use Ubuntu?
You have to send the enroll message, else your node won’t show up on the supernodes web page.
Ubuntu is ok too i guess.
I’m on the list;
So I succeeded? I’m Receiving blocks which I harvested on my main account; but the difficulty persentage is lower than other harvested block which I received earlier on a different node. What does that mean?
Ubuntu installation was succesful.
It was so easy and fast to install java and NEM. Started NIS yesterday. Will check the results today.
Maybe I’ll switch to the Ubuntu machine and kill the Windows one.
The difficulty varies over time, that’s normal.
Ok. I just clicked at my node at http://supernodes.nem.io/ and I see x’s on every column. Even on the version which is very strange since I used the latest version.
So the Windows node is crap?
Not sure which node is yours, but it normally needs a few rounds to display reliable results.
Will the Supernode requirements in terms of XEM always stay at that amount?
Due to health reasons I have been quite inactive over the past year and thus besides the initial claim not more XEM. Yet I would be interested to provide a supernode - buying more xem is out of question currently - due to the disappearance of cryptsy quite a few of my balances have disappeared as well
