On the day, we will need to transfer the funds back for the bot to handle it. We can transfer in chunks of 0.5 BCH for instance. The players need to be available to sign the txs.
@79b79aa8, it is easy to move funds to a multi-sig wallet, no problem. You just need to define the kind of wallet, the players, create it and post here the address, then I can send there.
Then, I would be very anxious to do a 2 hours test any day, I hope you guys can decide what is the best day to do this... should be before Nov 1st, IMO.
Next step would be to install many different nodes, I believe that each node can pump about 100 tx/sec. I want to have different nodes of all kinds, like BU, SV, ABC, XT, etc...
@BitcoinCashHoarder, I am fine tune the txBlaster2, just finished to change the network stuff to rpc calls, so it will be more responsible.
Let me know if the posts correspond with the reality...
Sorry guys, bitbox had a problem 3 or 4 hours ago and I didn't perceived that the txBlaster bot was hanging. Now I reset the bot. I need to improve the heartbeat. I know what to do..
We can think of a half hour test... Just to see if we yet have other bottle neck. Let's think.
I think I can cover the cost of VPS and other things just collecting the dust generated by the txs.
Until then, I will increase the VPS to be bigger than today and also add another node to have two.
I would suggest to do a mini stress on Oct 15th for like 2 or 3 hours to test the environment we have now and see how many tx we can do.
Now it is detecting external transfers and showing the balance.
Sorry @Fnuller15, fixing the airplane in the middle of the flight. It was an error, I was adding support to detect external sending of fund. Now it is OK.
Look, if you tip txBlaster2, it will execute immediately, to save for the next stress day, you have to tip txBlasterCollect.
Now it shows the balance. When will be the next stress day?
It's now working to detect tips to txBlasterCollect and report to the topic txBlasterCollect. I'll add to accept tips from outside memo and also show the balance.
I am thinking these two names: txBlasterNonStop and txBlasterCollect, what do you think? Suggest other names if you want.
We spent like 11.5 bch to send 5 million txs last sept 1st. It depends on the size of the tx, that is variable because we need to combine the utxos in the input..
So, I think next Oct 1st, we can be more successful then the Sep 1st.
On Sep 1st, we used a lot of lessons learned from Aug 1st, that also used a lot of experience from other stress days in July.
Are we going to stress on Oct 1st?
The 2 and 3 steps above can be achieved by experience. I think the idea to do a mini stress bch every 1st of the month is a good idea to improve the things.
I don't think CTOR is going to do anything good... Maybe the blaster we stop to work because it uses the actual tx order... Those things disturbe the network nothing more.
@79b79aa8 I keep logs of almost everything that is done by the blasters but need to compile to see the values.
In my understanding to do 20 million tx we need 1) bch (money) 2) equipment (a big virtual machine or many for the blasters and nodes) 3) a good sw (like blaster to distribute txs)
