We need to try to crash the gateway, or get it to deadlock. Simultaneous deposits,withdraws. Try fractions, I think you will be surprised. Ive designed the dataflow so that even if the gateway crashes, it restores its state by processing the blockchain, so its pretty fault tolerant. I am not using any database, just tracking pending deposit/withdrawal.

I see all three servers syncing up and processing the withdrawals. Thats the part that is really slick, it is doing all this using multisig. Do you know how painful it is to create valid rawtransactions?

Why miss them? It's easier to follow separate threads. Following a huge thread like this creates ample missing opportunities, at least for those who don't have hours to spare every day scanning for posts that interest them. I bet I'm not the only one that has missed interesting posts in this thread, some of which I felt lucky to have noticed them quoted later.


I'm not an Apple employee, but I can guess that they don't coordinate in a huge forum thread :-)

speak of the devil. I just lost internet and all my ssh sessions got terminated along with all three of the gateways. I think there were a few pending transactions, so this is a good test to see if recreating the state from blockchain is working.

I am having some server issues, they keep saying "bind() failed: Address already in use", but all prior instances have been gone for a while...

Edit: OK, all three gateways are rescanning blockchain, just from the first possible timestamp

It' a bug  in the Nxt server :

Example :

Works here, which client are you using ? mine? If so, any javascript errors in the console?

Your client. Next to Asset Exchange there are three animated periods/ellipsis that looks like it's 'loading' the asset list but nothing appears.

Should I open Safari's Develop>Show error console?

edit: whatever it was, logging off and back on cured it. Assets appear properly now.

I always reload to verify the latest Asset Exchange balances.

The servers finished rescanning blockchain, noticed a pending deposit, completed it and are now caught up. I tried to make the worst case be a delay in finalizing the transaction, which most of the time would happen automatically. Not sure when it wouldn't, but I am counting on manual intervention to deal with the super rare cases that I cant think of. I think there are some cases where things could get stuck.

I did see one case where I submitted a transaction to the dogecoin network but it just never appeared. I am not sure what to do in this case as when I tried to resubmit it, I kept getting error -22, eg. you already sent that transaction. due to the requirement that all servers generate identical rawtransactions, once one server gets in a confused state, it will take some fiddling to sync all three servers again. This is why I am thinking it will take a while before this is production ready. Just need to make all the gateway management tools.

does anybody know how often bitcoin blockchains are rolled back? How much time to be sure it wont be? For larger deposits, I am thinking of issuing assets that cant be redeemed right away to limit exposure to blockchain rollbacks

I read a description of intelligence that was written by Isaac Asimov. He described it as the ability to connect dots, being able to relate one bit of information to another. To apply this logic and understand what it means, you need to have a mind that is flexible and open and able to see relationships between different ideas and concepts that aren't obvious- that is the connecting part. You also need information-those are the dots. This thread is chock full o' dots. And I like being able to see all of the dots, plus see how other people connect them. It is kind of like living random access memory. If this information were scattered and divided it would change the way that the communal thought process occurs. I would understand if the guys working on important things need a better way to proficiently communicate, but I like this thread, and I hope that it stays unlocked, and I hope they keep posting here (even though most of their tech stuff is over my head).

DOGE gateway --

I sent 1.105 DOGE from my wallet to the gateway (precisely, I sent 1.10530904). Confirmations completed, so I checked my assets, and I received 1 DOGE and 105 milliDOGE. Very cool!

Minor question -- what happened to the remaining .00030904 DOGE? Were they 'rounded off' into the gateway's ether? Are they still somewhere but not shown due to lack of precision?

My wallet at dogevault does indeed show that -1.10530904 was sent, so I don't think they're rounding off anything...
