I just ask them to transfer my server to Dallas and i think that is working without any problem and finally my node is up again Smiley. I would also say about the great and fast response from WeLoveServers support team. I think my previous problems was from misunderstanding because of my bad english but generally the node in LA has problem running a bitcoin node. I dont know what happen but there is a problem there.

yeah, all of mine are up and good.

i do have one in LA that's been fine all along.

I think it is hardware related too. For some reason there are just nodes that refuse to work with bitcoind at all. When I get a good node though, it works perfect. I have many up from months ago that have had no problems, but I have also had a few that I bought that just do not work at all. I have been avoiding the Orlando location due to many problems there.

Also, I would probably recommend looking elsewhere at this point. The 30gb hard drive space most likely will not last anymore for an entire year. It is a great deal, and I bought many nodes here that work great, but the blockchain is right around 20gb already. 1 year from now it will most likely be over 30gb

My node is off one week now and i dont have any support from them. I have told them to transfer my server to Germany but they say that is full. Somehow they have blocked bitcond activity. I see with top command that bitcoind is running but with vnstat i see that i dont have any incoming activity. Today it was only 192kb.It was so good to be real to have a full node without any problem with 19 dollars for a year when all the other vps servers ask 19 euro for a month with the same specs...
I will try to contact them once more time for a server transfer but i dont think i will have any luck with that Sad

that's weird.  they respond very quickly to me.

i'm almost done loading the blockchain after they transferred me from LA to Dallas.  i think the problems i've been having are hardware related.

We got problems with WLS guys. I've been requesting a change of servers for that bum LA node and this is the response I got:

Per our AUP, we do not allow mining, and this was made clear to you in our AUP which you agreed to before signing up for services with us.

Thanks,

Yeah, I've had some jackass company shut down one of my servers for that too.  

re: running bitcoind = mining

(ed: i remember now, it was host1plus and a south africa vps)

Blockchain.info can show you the transactions relayed by the node by searching for the IP: https://blockchain.info/ip-address/107.170.116.161

I also like to look at vnstat to see how much bandwidth they are using: http://107.170.116.161/vnstat/

Edit: that looks kind of weird on blockchain.info. shows that node hasn't relayed one since 6/4/2014. That doesn't seem right.

Thanks for contributing to the network! Looks like an easy setup. If I have some extra cash I might just set one up myself. Is there any way to see the amount of data or transactions the nodes relay including my own?

I've just sponsored 2 nodes.

1st Node:
http://198.23.132.134/
Bandwidth: http://198.23.132.134/vnstat

2nd Node:
http://109.73.173.112/
http://109.73.173.112/vnstat/

Everything was paid to Morblias and he did the setup within an hour.

That was smooth and I enjoy the idea of participating to the Bitcoin project actively. If you could do the same, that'd be nice.



Guys, can you tell me if the nodes are affected by the new WLS policy ? Are they ok ?

yes, they are ok.  if asked, you need to explain that you're just running a node and not mining.  they're ok with that.

i just received an email confirming that they've transferred my dead node from LA to Dallas.  will let you know how that goes after i get it set up.

Perfect, thanks Smiley

Are you adding swap? The out of memory killer might be killing bitcoind if not

Here is the part of the script that adds vswap
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 ; mkswap /swapfile ; swapon /swapfile
echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

To check if the OOM killer is killing bitcoind:
Code:
dmesg | egrep -i -B100 'killed process'

It will look like this

I think is officially. WeLoveServer seems that dont LoveBitcoinNodes Tongue. I have done one more clean install and a new fresh install of bitcoind without Morbias script. I have run bitcoind with

bitcoind --daemon

and after a while i was checking connections with

bitcoind getconnectioncount

everything goes fine untile the connection goes up to 9. After that point the connections crashed one more time.

I will try to do a fresh new install

I think we have problem WLS and we cant run there nodes anymore. I am sure and with a server transfer in another location we will have the same situation.
