Is the Burst infrastructure crumbling?



  • I appreciate the fact @haitch hosts the stuff, but I actually have to agree with @focus here. Not the first time this happens.

    2 Hours downtime is waaaay to much in our line business.

    Cheers,



  • @Focus,

    that is great in theory, except it doesn't stay clean for long. So every 5 or six days you have to download a new blockchain which keeps getting bigger and bigger, more time more time.

    I think if the local wallet was more reliable, people would not need to go to centralized, online wallets and the network would have more decentralized nodes.

    I have one computer that has been looking at the "wait 10 minute" sign for 3 hours now, and that was with the old DB deleted. Usually, with no DB in the folder the local wallet starts right up.

    Not good. As I said in another post awhile back, if this keeps up the only people that will stay in this community are techies. Which is fine, but don't expect and meteoric rise in the Burst price, it the average person can't work the software tools.



  • nice to know I just got into in burstcoin at such an early stage of web app decentralization development, much more room to grow

    I will provide a download later on today for a clean database backup, the current zip from team is way too big at 10GB, it should be 3.8



  • I honestly think the biggest problem with the local wallet is it recognizing if java is running, and not the db itself. I've been running a local wallet for 10+ days with no problems, as long as I don't close it. If I close the wallet, it has a hard time initializing because it doesn't start java immediately, there is a big delay.



  • @k.coins,

    Those are my symptoms as well. I ran a local wallet for about 10 days, supporting my solo miner, turn off the computer, orderly, and restarted and could not get the local wallet to run, frustrating.!!!

    It takes roughly 5-10 minutes for the wallet to check it's state and sync up properly. The java is working fine.



  • @rds @k.coins last time i had to download blockchain db is when i upgraded from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7 never had problems since. Albeit i dont use AIO client.

    @rds @k.coins The problem with the local wallet in the win client is when it closes. It may happen that it corrupts the local db. The client is still in version 0.3.8.1 and I tried to fix that but Windows has its own limitations except the limitations of my coding skills.

    The startup time of the local wallet takes longer, the bigger the blockchain is. This inconvenience has to be addressed at the core code. I'm working on the code to improve your experience but I need positive and negative Feedback. So thanks k.coin and rds.



  • I have to say this is the very first time any problem with Burstcoin appears for me. I have never had any difficulties to connect, send or recieve anything. First time the web wallet bursts down (sorry, had to do it x) ). I hope you can fix this and we can return to normal again :)



  • @daWallet Fair enough. My observation is that I have downloaded the db manually and imported it correctly. The local wallet will still get stuck on the screen saying "make sure java is running." You know the error better than I - can only report what I see.



  • @Focus,

    How about 3+ hours, then I just shut it down in frustration.
