Hive Public Testnet: Resurrections

avatar

What's the difference between the Hive and the Matrix?
(spoiler alert)
Hive is getting better with every new release! ;-)

This is going to be a very broing post for non-technical users, so if you happen to be one, then idk, just enjoy the new promo animation:

Beneficiaries: 100% set to @hbdstabilizer (TL;DR: it makes HBD more stable and as a side effect it profits whole platform and its users)

OK, so if you are still reading then you just want to get raw data quickly:

New testnet instance is based on recent develop branch, i.e. 32716a5b2c82eaad7c9ba58e435295bbefbc66b5
So if you want to run the same code use:

git checkout 32716a5b2c82eaad7c9ba58e435295bbefbc66b5

Other useful information:

Seed node

p2p-seed-node = testnet.openhive.network:2001

Hive testnet chain-id

18dcf0a285365fc58b71f18b3d3fec954aa0c141c44e4e5cb4cf777b9eab274e

API endpoint (via jussi)

https://testnet.openhive.network

Hive Testnet Condenser instance

https://testblog.openhive.network

Hive Testnet Wallet instance

https://testwallet.openhive.network

hived direct http server

http://testnet.openhive.network:8091

hived direct websocket server

ws://testnet.openhive.network:8090

hivemind server direct server

http://testnet.openhive.network:8080

For now, just to start things up quickly, I'm running new hived, but the old versions of all the other components such as hivemind, condenser, wallet. Those will be upgraded to current versions soon.

It wasn't long before first issue was identified thanks to the new testnet instance:
Problems with legacy mode in get_result_formatters method.
Fix is on its way, but expect more issues and rough edges.
That's the whole point of testnet: to improve things before the final version is ready.

For testing changes to RC and other more demanding close to real world scenarios we would have to provision a mirror-of-the-mainnet type of a testnet. Lets in the meantime focus on this "little thing" ;-)

Little testnet thing
  • Snapshot takes 6.2GB (was: HF25 testnet: 3.9GB)
  • Account history RocksDB storage: 2GB
  • Block log: 1.3GB
  • Shared memory file: 4.9GB
  • Hivemind storage: 2GB

So as you can se it's fairly easy and lightweight to run your own Hive components in the tesetnet, whether you join the public one or run it on your own.

If you want to participate in public one, please let me know in the comments so I could send you some "testnet funds" if you need them.
Remember that those have no value and will vanish.
(Hopefully I don't have to remind about that, right?)
Also please expect that due to the nature of the testnet it's expected to be unavailable from time to time and/or reinitialized (i.e. restarted from scratch losing all history) without any warning / notice.

If you look at it like marketing though, who's the target audience? Probably delusional narcissists that hate this place, hungry for power and out looking for a free lunch. So if they get manipulated and eventually scammed by any random charlatan showing up on the doorstep acting like that, is that really so bad? chuckle

Lol. I was going to ask that because I thought @acidyo was cool but I figured the 'acid' in his name may need an alkaline in @nonameslefttouse for a good neutralization.

They should get a room in some Metaverse theatre and have people pay to watch their weirdness 🤣🤣🤣

I came here because I thought maybe you douchebags, quitted your douchery but, you still are the same
=> looting people's money, with your scam game
=> insulting others
=> censoring posts
=> millions of power printed for free, yet pose yourself, like you are bestowing favors on others by not self voting :D hahhaha
=> fake decentralization :p
=> stealing accounts
=> kicking out users

You have zero understanding of what decentralization means, you are cheap, dishonest, scammers, looters, have no moral values .. on top of that mentally retarded, sick people.

baby, don't mess with your daddy

These are all sick!!! :) I have watched them all XD hard to choose my favourite! They all look super epic and work great with the sound effects. Do you make all of these on your own? I asked Hector to make me an updated animation for my logo "yidneth", he is also a 3D nerd. I have tried to learn basic blender to kind of try to transition from 2d to 3d but I haven not had enough consistency. LOL

@hedac look at this! I know you'll like them.

Nah, I'm not that skilled in that field. I used rendering service where I can use own materials (such as Hive logo, etc.) and I bought a re-seller license so I'm "selling" them to you all for 0 HIVE.

Not sure how to communicate with you other than drop a comment here. Wondering why I'm being downvoted? Is it "lack of engagement"? Honestly asking, since I've been on Steemit & Hive for over 5 years, this being a newer account since I was doxed.

I began doing my podcast on Steemit, and shout out Hive and #informationwar on everyone of my videos. I post my vids to Threespeak and invite my small audience to get on blockchain type platforms.

My upvotes are mostly from the #informationwar crowd, of which I'm a senior member. I curate, and I response to every comment I receive on my videos. It's not my problem that most viewers comment on YouTube and Odysee.

I'd hope this would influence your decision now that you actually know something about me.

Oh, you are actually alive, that's surprising.
Well, my point is similar that I already presented in a different case - I see no reason to reward such content if that's just one of many outputs.
I tried not to make them go negative with rshares though.

I'm actually very alive and push this platform and use HIVE and HBD almost exclusively when it comes to crypto. This is the only "output" I make any $$ from, so I see a flaw in your reasoning since you took no time to review my content, my history, or my attempts at pushing people on this platform for their "engagement". I receive comments and engagement on my videos elsewhere, from people who have HIVE accounts.

If my videos were uploaded to Threespeak, is that not engagement? Do people have to actively debate politics in my comment section to not be punished? If I only posted my videos through this "output" that would be acceptable?

If you see no reason to reward my content, why not continue to just go about your day? Others see a reason to reward my content.

I'm not PressforTruth. That dude has never uttered the word HIVE or Steem. I've tried to build my audience and podcast THROUGH this chain, but what's the point?

It's not punishment, it's disagreement on rewards. You are around for quite a while, you should know that better.

If you see no reason to reward my content, why not continue to just go about your day? Others see a reason to reward my content.

Well, when it comes to content...

You see, if you spot a story about your uncle (lets call him "Bob") in a newspaper, it draws your attention.
Especially when it's a story on how your uncle ran away from cops after robbing a bank last Wednesday. Thing is that you were visiting him in hospital that day, because... he's there in a coma for many weeks.

So there are facts about you and your family that you know for sure, and there's this newspaper "story".
Saying that this newspaper spread an utter bullshit would be an understatement.
Wasting time to debunk this story would be a waste of your precious time.

So you just say: I'm not buying it. And it shouldn't be surprising if you start considering it a shitty source of information moving forward. Even for the weather forecast.

Have you read through his content and seen his engagement?

If you are going to start downvoting people like the other witnesses did previously, do you really think people are going to ignore that? Now that there are tools like hivealive that @ura-soul made we can see what gets downvoted and people are keeping track of it.

I don't see a reason to be downvoting all of his posts and I think many others might agree. He's also active in our discord where a bunch of Hive people are as well.

You don't have the full picture here. + he's been around awhile and not a spammer.

I've done many youtube live streams with him over the years and we talk/talked about Hive on them.

Engagement can't replace fact checking.
I'm voting up and down all the time, it's not that I'm starting giving downvotes now. It's part of the system to chose what content gets your + or - votes.
No, I'm sure it won't be ignored, that's how it works, excessive upvotes brings downvotes (you just saw it), excessive downvotes brings upvotes. That's part of the system.
I don't see a reason to downvote all of his posts either, and I wasn't doing that.

Are you saying you didn't fact check the content, but rather downvoted it because of low engagement?

Theres tons of posts on Hive with 10 to 20 usd in rewards with no engagement if you mean COMMENTS. Most people read things and don't comment on it. If something has 100k likes on youtube it might only have 200 to 500 comments for example. Same with reddit, twitter, etc.

I'm not sure what metric you are using to determine when a post is downvoted. Would you share what software you use to determine this?

I'm not even following this comment. Are you saying my content isn't just "worth" the "reward" I receive, but you are calling "bull-shit" on it? Or because YOU don't like this type of content, it means it's not worth what others think it is?

What are you talking about with your Uncle Bob story? That my videos are a waste of my time? Do you listen to them? Do you know that I'm mostly laughing at these stories? Why are you the arbiter of how I should spend my time? Are you offended by my videos? I honestly have no idea what the your Uncle Bob has to do with anything.

It is punishment. A main player on this platform wanders around cancelling out other people's payouts. He carries himself like the warden of a prison, deciding who is following his rules.

So, if my viewers feel like content is worth something, they vote for it, but one person disagrees with them (who doesn't comment themselves on what is so terrible about my content), what should I tell my viewers? "I know you want to support me financially, but this one coder thinks differently. But please content to use this platform."

The video was very successful. We also need to make an effort to increase the visibility of these videos. I think we should share this information with all authors as we follow new developments and changes from their own social network shares.
