Testnet Testing Tools

@eonwarped@eonwarped (70)2602d

Hey all, will be keeping this post alive with updates as I have more of them, but here's what I've been working on as far as the testnet. With a custom up to date condenser and keychain support, this should open things up to a lot more people.

Currently there are still a few barriers but right now we can already start testing a few things.

My testnet condenser / wallet pair is currently running on-demand If you click it and it is not responding, wait a minute or so while it wakes up and then refresh.

Warning: USE TESTNET SETTING ON KEYCHAIN IF USING KEYCHAIN Condenser: https://eontestnet.herokuapp.com Wallet: https://eontestnetw.herokuapp.com (links from condenser) Warning: USE TESTNET SETTING ON KEYCHAIN IF USING KEYCHAIN

The usual warnings apply here-- play with alternate accounts if you do not want to risk passwords. The code that's running can be audited as well, running the code here: branch for condenser testnet, branch for wallet testnet.

I should probably make the whole background yellow like the other condenser testnet though.

To test with keychain on the testnet, update to the latest version of keychain. In the preferences section you will see an option for 'TESTNET' when selecting the RPC. (Chrome has it, Firefox should come soon after)

The testnet wallet will have keychain soon (Edit: now has keychain), and am working on integrating the initial blocktrades proposal UI.

Things that can be tested now with this setup while the testnet is alive (currently is on the new fork as of now):

  1. EIP
  2. Curation windows to 1 minute
  3. General posting
  4. (Proposal viewing and voting, coming soon... )

Note that a subset of transactions are being auto sent from mainnet to testnet, and values you see in testnet do not reflect the distributions you will see when it launches.

One thing that's on my immediate list for attention with testing is to make sure the downvote pool behaves as expected.

Further Updates

  1. There's a bug switching to and from TESTNET. The way to fix for now is to disable/renable the keychain. I've sent out this fix for the problem, along with other improvements to make it clear that a transaction is for the TESTNET or not. download latest chrome version and this is resolved.
  2. Powerup does not work in wallet or keychain. Will work on a fix (STEEM vs TESTS in terms of symbols. I missed a swap in keychain as well) -- Update-- the wallet itself can now do it, but not yet keychain.
  3. You can also use the steemit testnet sites: blog and wallet.
  4. Filed https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/3435 for missing manabar in condenser_api vs database_api. After finding the bar, found I was able to downvote 13 times before upvote bar started to decrease. Will document in detail for later. This is not inconsistent with discussions, though it sounds like a lot-- the rshares/unit of time that can be allocated on average is constant, just like before, but the max downvote amount is capped by the max of the two Mana bars. Meaning, if you want a full power downvote, either the downvote Mana bar should be full or the regular one should. A lot of ways to manage them.

    Hi there @eonwarped

    I haven't seen you in a while so I decided to reach out to you. Hopefully you're okey there and you didn't give up on Steemit completely.

    If you would ever decide to come back and would post anything, then please send me link via memo and I will gladly check it out.

    Take care of yourself, Piotr

    Hi @eonwarped, as I left a comment on GH, while I was gonna submit my show beneficiary info PR to Nitrous after doing some specialization (there's something more you should do) for Nitrous, I found your commit.

    I've found that you changed a bit, but still you could've contacted me first, or made some thank you comment at least. You didn't leave anywhere anything. I'm an active contributor. I also made SCOT vp viewer (https://economicstudio.github.io/vp/) and scotauto (https://economicstudio.github.io/scotauto). You really could've contacted me or left a small thank you note before borrowing my code. Of course, that code's not special at all. Moreover, it's open-source. You can do whatever you can, but if contributor's work can't be properly recognized, who wants to contribute?

    Selam, biraz konu dışında olacak biliyorum fakat nereden destek almam gerektiğini bulamadım. terasusbot adında bot hesabı açtım ve yapamatt yazdığı programı kullanıyorum. bot çalışmakta. bunu bidbot listesinde görmek için ne yapmam gerekiyor? yardımcı olursanız veya yönlendirirseniz sevinirim. şimdiden teşekkürler.

  • @chireerocks(75)· 2597d

    @eonwarped, You want to say that on Keychain we have to select Testnet in preference section right?

    If we keep it in api.steemit.com what issue we can face?

    made a few more comments did I think 3 votes, no post might try that again tomorrow. One of the votes was a one minute old post, the others were a bit older.

  • @coininstant(69)· 2598d

    🤙

  • @theguruasia(69)· 2598d

    @eonwarped, If I am not mistaken last time STEEMIT also provided their own condenser for the testing purposes, but this time I didn't heard about that so far! $trendotoken

    Cheers~

  • @shadowmask(56)· 2598d

    Okay, some people might be surprised, I did a bit of testing a few days ago, none of the comments or votes or post showed up over on the steemit side. For today's testing I saw the edit for using KeyChain, and login went much smoother, and now all those comments are showing on the steemit side. Looks like only the comments transferred over no indication of votes transferring, kind of good, because I did do a few test votes.

    edit-post took and registered over on the steemit side, just kept spinning on this side. I clicked the cancel button and reloaded the page and the post was here.

    @eonwarped,

    I won't pretend to know or understand everything, but like when you say:

    One thing that's on my immediate list for attention with testing is to make sure the downvote pool behaves as expected.

    Other than physically "writing" an explanation of why you "may" be downvoting a particular post... do you see a better way or system possibly being implemented... in regards to downvoting?

    Keep up the good work my friend!!

  • @cardboard(65)· 2601d

    Nice!

    Do the post payouts on the testnet reflect the new convergent reward curve so we can compare them?:)

  • @shadowmask(56)· 2601d

    I tried to take a look with my alt account -this one - the main page opened, but no sign in was allowed on either the regular or the wallet site.
