Yes! Big thanks! Keep it up :-)

That is the purpose of LMDB implementation

Thanks for great works

Thank you.

How much work is needed to make the DB windows and OS X compatible?

Monday-ish Monero Missives

November 2nd, 2014

Hello, and welcome to our seventeeth Monero Monday Missive! This Missive has been horrendously delayed due to travelling, jetlag, and timezones. Nonetheless, we're keeping it short and sweet, as it is a prelude to next week's Missive, in which we hope to have some binaries so you don't have to compile source code to test these new features;)

Major Updates

1. For those following the database development, we are at a point where it is actually syncing! Our initial observations are that as the blockchain grows LMDB's virtual memory requirements will increase, but since it will rarely touch any of the virtually mapped data the real memory requirements are incredibly tiny. We are currently testing rollbacks and edge-cases, but if you would like to give it a spin (or just check out the nearly 6 000 lines of code that comprise of the blockchain DB clase and the initial lmdb implementation) then you need to clone tewinget's repo and checkout the blockchain branch - https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero/tree/blockchain (note that this is pretty much Linux only at this stage, Windows and OS X support will come soon)

2. Per-kb fees are ready to go, and has been merged into the master repository! The per-kb fee has initially been set at 0.01 XMR per kb, and we are confident that this will be a suitable fee for the moment. We are not going to enforce a block-point hard fork, but we would appreciate it if major pools could upgrade by Monday. Thereafter, exchanges and users can upgrade over the course of next week as Monero 0.8.8.5 is released.

3. Our shiny new CMake is also nearly ready - there are a few final nigglies on Windows and FreeBSD, and then it'll be all merged in.

Dev Diary

Core: LMDB implementation is complete, and is undergoing testing for drastic rollbacks and edge cases. Please grab and test (link is above)

Core: per-kb fees merged into master, and switchover to the new fee structure is hoped to happen next week.

Until next week!

It's been busy.

The new database code [so far] works great.

Some progress has been made on a major overhaul of the privacy technology of coin via proposed changes to the wallet. Hopefully soon there will be more details about that. We wish to make Monero the high efficiency, high privacy chain with no opt-out for being a mixable element for any given output.

Many of us are travelling at the moment and are all over different countries, so bear with us.

I would assume that the block explorers use the RPC which is similar in function to the command. It is also possible they have modified the daemon somewhat.

I'm pretty sure they don't parse blockchain.bin because that is only written out normally every 12 hours (and writing it out is pretty slow) so it can't be used for real time data.

You can use the print_block command in the daemon.

That's why we love you guys. 

Oh, and because fluffypony rubbed my ears once...

 

ok, thanks! 

It means one of your peers is stuck, see below:

Weird series of messages on bitmonerod (v.0.8.8.4-unknown), e.g.:


2014-Nov-06 17:23:52.184309 BH: 293816, DIFF: 1257183999, HR: 20953066 H/s

Is there a problem?

Correct. 32 bit is not supported.

With 64 bit and correct use of swap you can make do with a relatively small amount of physical RAM. Anything from 2 GB and up is usable (more is better).

I think you must use a 64 bit OS.

After that there was a preview build that you could download and try yourself. Another one is expected soon.

Guys, there is an enormous amount of work that is being done and recorded in github. Take a look at the commits on the trunk and the various branches and also the forks.

I understand it is a bit frustrating waiting for the work to make its way to the official releases, but it is being done that way for a reason. We don't want to release half-baked stuff that isn't really ready just to say we released something.

On occasion we will point out specific pre-releases that are useful for testing, as we did in the recent missives that mentioned the in-progress database code (now even farther along and working well for some testers). However, the process is open and anyone is free to test and contribute to any of the forks/branches at any time.

official gui wallet is important ?

Чeм тeбe simplewallet нe нpaвитcя? He мoжeшь c ним paбoтaть - yчи мaтчacть!

English:

What you don't like simplewallet? Can not work with it - Teach materiel!

I rather keep waiting for a solid GUI+DB than half measures that will only fool on short-term, I believe monero coin to be a long-term real winner crypto.
