Big update

First: the Torrents won't last. I got an anonymous sponsor for a dedicated server. The Seedbox expires on April 6, so the Torrens won't work much longer:

New! Torrents!
inputs.torrent
outputs.torrent
transactions.torrent

The data is back at it's original location:

Back online! The data
See blockdata.loyce.club
blockdata.loyce.club/inputs/ (469 GB)
blockdata.loyce.club/outputs/ (145 GB)
blockdata.loyce.club/transactions/ (52 GB)

This server is has a 50 TB/month bandwidth limit. So far, at most a few people per month downloaded this (crazy amount of) data, so it should be sufficient.

Note: Some files are missing, those are still being updated now. By tomorrow automated daily updates should be on track again.

Yesterday I was looking for some hosting services for BTC and honestly speaking I haven't found anything I would trust.

For projects like this topic I don't really need AWS-level uptime, so I gladly go for the budget hosts. I run this project at Racknerd (good deals via Lowendtalk.com), and (so far) I'm quite happy with it. If I look at prices on their own site, it's much higher.
You could also go for RamNode, pay by the hour and less cheap, but from what I've seen RamNode has very solid performance too.
I don't think any of those are run from their garage Wink

I run this project at Gullo's Hosting (again: see Lowendtalk.com for deals), which has the unique feature that it's run by one guy. Servers are international, so not from his garage, but you'll always deal with the same guy. He'll try his best, which for this project is everything I need.

I also found out that several of the higher range VPS providers don't accept Bitcoin, or demand a copy of my passport (yeah, right!) first.

For operations on local blocks I have used that parser: https://github.com/gcarq/rusty-blockparser
Configuration was really easy, processing of course takes some time.

Memory usage to get balances: ~18GB. That would take big VPS.

Ops. I did not use it, only transactions dump. It is up to you if you want to use it, even partially.

Yesterday I was looking for some hosting services for BTC and honestly speaking I haven't found anything I would trust. Once I tried one hosting just to compare with my main one, but service and reliability was terrible. I had impression all that companies which offer servers for BTC are running their "datacenters" somewhere in the garage.

You could run Bitcoin Core and processing script on local device, then upload the result to your VPS/seedbox.

Apart from the fact that I wouldn't know how to do this, I don't really want to add more load to my local PC.

Feel free to test (and/or seed) the torrents if you have some bandwidth and disk space to waste

My VPS doesn't have enough storage for "inputs" torrent, so i didn't try until download is finished. But it starts almost immediately with similar speed on previous speed.

However we'll go with SCP for this one. LoyceV I'm PMing you the credentials soon.

I actually prefer rsync, because scp changes the original file date, which is undesirable.

Ugh ... that leaves me with no other choice than use touch.

(Actually I'd prefer to do that .. can't do rsync straight to that appliance and I would rather avoid setting up a buffer VM just for rsync)

Ha. Makes sense.

Some time ago I started coding a script to get something similar to the all addresses balance dump.
Unfortunately the initial processing of the blockchain was too resource expensive. The process never completed.

However ... This got me thinking..
If the "input outputs transaction" dump is something like a csv file, just compiling the "missing" data with Bitcoin Core and append it to the dump could do the trick.

Which "project" do you mean exactly? List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance? That one is covered, it only takes 20 GB to host. Although by now the 2 TB monthly bandwidth isn't enough anymore, at day 15 it already used 1.2 TB so it'll go offline at the end of the month.
If you happen to have 700 GB available, by all means, share "inputs, outputs and transactions" Cheesy

Yes, this is the one I meant to use for my project. (Bitcoin addresses with a balance)

I can find the 700 GB and host "inputs, outputs and transactions"

Luckily the bandwidth is unmetered so I can also provide a mirror for some of the other dumps.

Quote from: LoyceV on March 15, 2022, 08:14:02 AM

It could work, but having to upload updates instead of just processing them on the server is far from ideal.

How is the data processed ? Running on Bitcoin Core ?

Did you consider Hetzner? From 3.45 for 1T, unlimited traffic.

I need a VPS, this looks a bit like "shared hosting". I guess I wasn't specific enough. It could work, but having to upload updates instead of just processing them on the server is far from ideal.
A bigger deal breaker is the fact that Hetzner doesn't accept Bitcoin. I don't want to link my credit card to anything crypto-related. From what I've read, I'd expect Hetzner to offer good quality hosting.

I would demand partial/full refund.

It's paid per month, and really not worth the effort. I'd much rather have them fix the problems so I can finally keep this data online. I've uploaded it too many times already, and the whole point of having it on a server is so I can access it when needed.

I don't see why you're upset.
When uploading, I usually like to count the blinks on my switch and compare with the amount of packets really circulating on the wires.

Much fun. Don't you do that ? Grin

Lol. I'll have to stand in the hallway to count the blinks.

I'm still uploading data, but I'm not sure if I'll extend this hosts contract. It's now spitting out hardware errors:

Testing it now.

Only one out of 2 Seedboxes is currently uploading (at a very decent speed).

I just noticed i finished download both torrent. Here are some details,
1. I remove tracker on both torrent before i start download process.
2. "output" downloaded started some time (about 15 - 30 minutes) after i add it.
3. Average speed was 24-30MB/s. Although "transaction" have 2x speed after it connected to 2 seeder.
4. I use qbittorent-nox with default configuration.

I think i can conclude that you made the torrent files correctly and there's no problem with your seedbox.

There is a backend software glitch which can cause all data on /home to be removed.

I still have "outputs" and "transactions" on the other server, but this means I'll have to upload 469 GB from my local backup again. It also means they've moved me to another server, which means the above links are no longer valid.
I'm not amused.
