Topic: PSA: Add a Full Node for just $19/year! - page 6. (Read 17762 times)
Hello, I'm interested to sponsor a node. Is it still legit and efficient?
is there any way to erase everything and to do a new fresh install?
edit:I have done a fresh reinstall with the control panel of the server. The night i will do a new fresh setup.

Any advice from anyone what i have to do to run again my node? Or what i have to do a clean install?
I just had my Orlando server go down for about the 7th time.
I demanded an ip reassignment and got it.

That server drive with a capacity of 30 GB will be full well before the year is up, given current growth rates in block chain size:

I like the idea, but drive space seems to be a real constraint on a plan like this.

it says is unreachable 
do i have to reinstall it?
do i have to reinstall it?Is the block count advancing in the browser? What does "top" show?
Does anyone know if this pricing is locked in year over year? If so I'm going to have to set up a ton of these!

There is some risk concentrating them all in the same data-center.
I have idle long-term plans to set up a Bitcoin node in Iceland, which I believe to be relatively Bitcoin friendly. Would be valuable if Bitcoin is ever banned at home.
Wouldn't the same risk be present if the servers that host the nodes are leased by the same provider?
The person I was responding to was talking about spinning up a bunch of identical nodes in the same data-center. Are you asking if 1 server is just as risky as a bunch? I think my point is you don't get the same diversity benefits with all of them in one place.
My "idle long-term plans" are essentially about keeping the network going if the G8 decide to crack down on it. My current ISP prohibits illegal use in their TOS. So if hosting a node becomes illegal, I would have to shut it down: or move it to a more friendly jurisdiction.
But what if Amazon (or whoever you are leasing from) decides to try to attack the network. Couldn't they essentially take over the existing nodes and launch double spending attacks against people who accept 0/unconfirmed transactions (or other attacks that utilize nodes as opposed to miners).
it says is unreachable do i have to reinstall it?
do i have to reinstall it? But three days now i dont get any info about the server and i think the node is down and i cant get it work
and i cant get it workWell, it' not down since you linked us to http://69.12.86.115/ it shows 8 active connections.
It could be an issue with the server itself, assuming you did the VPS, correct?
yes i did the vps and i check everyday the node and i have about 40-60 connections. Now i can see to the node page that i have 8 connections but i cant get any info with bitcoind getinfo command
I will check again in one hour to see what happens. If is not working i will try to reinstall bitcoind
No

But he's behind on the block count.
chek, is the block count advancing?
I had that same thing happen where it was stuck but appeared to be connected. What does this site say? https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

and i cant get it workYou may have to re-install.
Assuming you have the PPA already added (if you ran the bitcoinAutoNode.sh script, it is added), all you need to do is
Code:
sudo apt-get remove bitcoind
sudo apt-get install bitcoind
sudo apt-get install bitcoind
If the PPA isn't added,
Code:
add-apt-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove bitcoind
sudo apt-get install bitcoind
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove bitcoind
sudo apt-get install bitcoind
But three days now i dont get any info about the server and i think the node is down and i cant get it work
and i cant get it work You need to use the bitcoin-cli to interact with the bitcoind.
Code:
./bitcoin-cli getinfo
I dont have this command in that node. I have see now that i have activity to node server page
http://69.12.86.115/
but i cant get info for the server with
bitcoind getinfo
command
If you reboot sometimes you need to wait at least 10 min to access the stats.
Also, the Orlando nodes seem to be temperamental.

Bitcoin-cli comes in the same zip as bitcoind, and it is the only way way to interact with the bitcoind from the command line.
But before two days and for one month now my server works fine and i get info with bitcoind getinfo command.
Do i have to reinstall the node? And how can i do this?
