I've updated all links to the new host. Torrents should work again too:



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.

Ugh ... that leaves me with no other choice than use touch.
I used wget instead, this should preserve file dates.

Is that true that if you tell average user to leave vi
It can't be: the average user doesn't use vi.

What's wrong with vi? I literally use it every day Cheesy

Is that true that if you tell average user to leave vi, you will get a natural RNG or at least a good example of password (compliant with any strong password policy)?

I've finalized my update, and after 10 months, I'm happy to announce This project is back online!


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

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)

Blockchair Database Dumps has a staggering amount of data, easily accessible (at 10 100 kB/s) with daily updates. All data in this topic comes from Blockchair.

Ha. Makes sense. Smiley
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.

The people who showed me the path to emacs warned me about vi users.
Everytime you use the dd p shortcut, the init entity turns off the numlock on boomer's keyboard so they can no longer login to their windows session. And can't figure out why.
You monster !  Angry

Let me know, I can provide an FTP access to you.

People still use FTP these days? I remember using FTP with FileZilla long time ago.


Nothing better than the good old foundations of IT. Smiley
Like, emacs is more pure and "C-itonic" as it's been delivered to us mere mortals by the founder of GNU himself. (f*ck vi Tongue " :wq!" wtf)

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


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 still use FTP on my local network, where I don't mind the lack of encryption.

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:

More seriously, I can help hosting "balances" if that interests you.

I will need this archive for a personal project anyway, it's not a big deal to make it available on port 80.

I have some extra storage space avail on my setup. Smiley

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.

Barely 3 days later, I received an email:

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.

For me it works instantly.
That's something Smiley Overnight, "transactions" completed downloading on the other Seedbox, and later "outputs" did the same. I didn't try "inputs" due to disk space limitations. So I think I can conclude it works, and it may or may not start instantly.
I'll stop fiddling and let it run for now, anyone who's in a rush can always go for the http download.

Yeah, usually i just rely on DHT and share my IP:Port (if needed) so other user can it directly to list of peers on their torrent software.
How would that IP/port-sharing work? Usually I just click the Torrent or Magnet link, and don't need to manually add IPs.

You manually send it to other people who wish to download the file. Some client have such option after you add torrent file/magnet link. But it's not practical option.

My VPS have spare bandwidth, do you want me to try to see whether i can complete the download?

Torrents works well now, download is fast.
I still don't get it: my own test (from another Seedbox) hasn't downloaded anything after an hour.

For me it works instantly.

Is is normal that only one tracker returns 'success' and peers data?
That's probably not good, but I'm not sure how to change to fix it.
I (arbitrarily) selected those trackers:
Code:
udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce
udp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
udp://opentracker.i2p.rocks:6969/announce
udp://tracker.internetwarriors.net:1337/announce
udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969/announce
And indeed, only the first one seems to recognize the torrent.

Really? It's weird since rTorrent (the backend) support DHT.
These are the only options it gives:
Image loading...

Since it include option "Private Torrent", usually it means DHT is used by default. And when i tried it on my VPS (where i remove all tracker before start the torrent), the DHT is working and i can start the download.

Quote
3. Take note not all tracker accept any kind of torrent.
That's the tricky part: I couldn't find much about it, only a list of recommended trackers. That's what makes me think the slow download start might be related to the trackers.

Yeah, usually i just rely on DHT and share my IP:Port (if needed) so other user can it directly to list of peers on their torrent software.

If I can't get the Torrents to work, the files can still be downloaded directly through http, but I haven't even finished uploading everything yet. And if barely anyone is going to use this, I might just have to give up on this project entirely at some point.

My VPS have spare bandwidth, do you want me to try to see whether i can complete the download?

For privacy, you may want to consider using a VPN so other users can't see your IP address.
