nxtcrypto.org seems to be holding nice and strong throughout the DDoS.  I'd like to suggest that the admin install dokuwiki at some point instead of pointing to wikia.  dokuwiki is dead simple to install, maintain, and use.

1000+ active peers here!  I wonder how many are Raspberry Pi.

There have been 26 downloads of my Pi package yet. I have no idea how many people have set it up themselves earlier. Probably not a whole lot.

I have no idea how to set up a Testnet!

I can give a bounty to whoever implement it - it is of great importance to be ready after 3rd Jan every change to run it first there.

Even know it would be good.

I know there was talk of it maybe last week? It's buried somewhere in the thread. Let me see if I can find it.

Using portforward, a dyn DNS service and updating hallmark and address in the config on every IP change should work... Inconvenient, but doable.

I understood from CfB in discussions a week ago that this still wasnt good enough.  I guessed because it required correct reverse DNS lookup...
CfB, can you confirm if this is true?

NRS checks real address and address included into a hallmark. If they don't match the soft invalidates the hallmark. This is what used for acquiring real address - http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getRemoteHost()

We already set up a small testnet to test Alias system before it went live.

All it takes is to install NXT running on a different port, for example 6874 6875 were used in that Alias system testnet.

and then nodes that take part in the testnet add each other to the config.

ah ok, every change to test there, understand.

about test net:

how many nodes are the minimum?
is it for permanent testing also longer term?
(later for this we could migrate the current vps node infrastructure step by step into the test net if we have enough NxT-user)


I don't know how many we'll need.
Could be for short or long time testing.

We should be careful about public announcing the IPs for these, don't want new users adding testnet to their well known hosts Smiley

I welcome any ideas and extensions for this task.

Great! I'd be very happy about something of that sort.

Some ideas:
  • Using the admin peer data (e.g., here) of every node on the node list to find out roughly how many unique nodes there are in the network (parsing it all into one list/set, weeding out doubles, then count number)
  • Somehow accessing network load figures of public nodes, which us admins would have to make available somehow (cronjob netstat/iftop to file on apache or similar); fetch all, then do some statistics
  • Try to identify known zombies/perma-leechers/DDoSers of all nodes, collect IPs, do statistics of weird nodes vs. all nodes

People want some online resource where they can read more about current status of the NXT core sites. Should i create one ddos protected website where everybody can check and share news regarding the situation, this 'll help to avoid panic or customer depression. The website 'll be online all the time, guaranteed.

It can be done today.

I welcome any ideas and extensions for this task.

Great idea -
please set it up on news.nxtcrypto.org and PM me your IP and I will create an A record for it
(yes everone, I know all bout news protocol, but come on, thats dead)

Or if you'd like  pick a better hostname if you can think of one and ill add an A record for it to .nxtcrypto.org

It can be status.nxtcrypto.org or news.nxtcrypto.org , up to community.

I 'll PM you with the IP within next 15 minutes.

I like news

on my private server, NxT-Node has more than 450 active peers now and rock-stable;-)
( maxNumberOfConnectedPublicPeers = 50 )
nice to see this growing more and more!!!

Who can setup an NXT Testnet?

I can rent a VPS or two for it, just let me know how to set it up
