Topic: [ANN] DividendRippler.com Anonymous BTC/LTC/TRC/NMC Ripple Gateway - page 2. (Read 33545 times)

Ripple's resource usage has decreased significantly with the continued development. Disk IO is still the largest bottleneck but that's just the nature of it. Stellar right now is like ripple was back in the day, huge, heavy and slow moving. I've been told by Jed they are doing a complete rewrite of the core to address all these shortcomings, we'll see what comes of it.

Our target is to support both ripple and stellar.

Interesting. One of the reasons I went off ripple early on was the heavy resource requirement.

So are you migrating to stellar exclusively or will you be supporting both?

As it has been pretty obvious, DividendRippler has been lagging behind for the past 3 or 4 days. Our rippled instance has been struggling to keep up with the network for unknown reasons.

What is not common knowledge is that we have been preparing a major update to DR behind the scenes for a few months and while it still lacks some testing we were waiting on the Stellar network to get stable (yes, Stellar support is part of the update) before finishing up and going live.

Unfortunately the version of DR that is lagging behind (lets call it old version) depends on a not up to date version of rippled and does signing of transactions using RPC, so we can't really use external rippled servers securely, which is another part that got updated on the new DR version, so a decision had to be made; at the rate currently sustained it will take DR another 4 days just to retrieve the ledger history and there's no guarantee that history will not become corrupt like it has in the past, forcing us to start from scratch.

The alternative is to get the beta quality new DR version live, and manually process transactions until we're sure it is safe. We wanted to make a full announcement with a timeline and all, but since DR isn't really working that's all moot, I'm just finishing up some QA and I'll get the new version live in a bit, after which I'll process all pending operations and hopefully things will return to normal.

Once that's all taken care of we'll have a new post describing the visible changes that were made (though a lot of work has been put in stability and security, which you will not see). Our apologies for all the waiting for those of you with pending operations.

For those of you on the higher notches of the "healthy paranoia" dial, we have changed the IP address for https://dividendrippler.com. It might take a day or two to propagate but most will be already seeing the new server @ 178.62.229.242

There will be a scheduled downtime of DividendRippler Monday, November 3rd, at 20:00 UTC for 2 hours.

Yes, I'm sorry for making waves. It showed the message on 2 consecutive days for me, so I figured site was abandoned. That was premature. I since was able to use it to redeem some BTC.

Very recommendable service! Cheap, fast, doesn't require account setup and easy to use.

What exactly is not looking good, molecular? The site does go into offline mode every now and then but always comes back and catches up.

Do you have any issues actually? It seems like they recently issued/redeemed BTC, so there shouldn't be any month-long system shutdown.

couple months now...

doesn't look good, does it?

any suggestions were to redeem rippleBTC?

Was there anything announced?

Stellar wants to move away from ripple and APIs soon will be different enough that stellar support is not just copy paste. Can people even see btc in their wallet there?

Any updates on Stellar integration?

The processing system is currently offline, data may not be up to date! [18471]

more than 5 hours

Should be all good now.

It seems to be DONE now. Just to explain, PENDING is when it is still being processed, or it has been processed and the system is waiting for confirmation from the ripple network or coin chain. ERROR may or may not be fatal, meaning something went wrong. Some errors are automatically retried (such as when there's a high load on the server and ripple refuses to process transactions because it is too busy), while others need manual intervention.

Thank you for your business!

Please check my transaction https://dividendrippler.com/cd?_=5390020db4688a1012ff7cb2

why satus = ERROR or PENDING

Sorry about the hiccup. Your transaction was sent to the ripple daemon, which is why the tx hash was present in the details page but then it was never confirmed (nor denied), which left it in a limbo state. I have resent it and I'll work on trying to prevent this from happening again.

Thank you for your business and patience!

My transaction has been "confirming" for 12 hours... Could you check on this?

I looked at the blockchain and the BTC I sent cleared, but I haven't been issued any BTC IOUs.  There is over 100 confirmations: https://blockchain.info/tx/faeadf4d05692426ac52ba276143603c5339d61edc018d8e76f31f5b88a2e648

offline please check it

sorry. back on
