Hive Public Testnet: Resurrections

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

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.

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.

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.
