RE: Setup a Hive witness using the new rolling block log feature
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Full set of .artifacts is 2GB, not 100 :o)
I have not tested it, because I don't have HDD anymore, but block log should not require fast storage - once it is in live mode, it only needs to write couple kilobytes per 3 seconds. Even during replay HDD should be just fine.
One of the features of split block log is the ability to share all but last part. You can have multiple nodes that use the same block log parts and related artifacts symlinked to their .blockchain folders from the same actual storage location. Only the last part that is being written by each node separately needs to be stored locally for each node (but once it is filled and next part file is created, you can copy new filled part to shared location, stop the node, symlink and restart). That way all your nodes can fully participate in p2p syncing and provide block_api functionality while you only have one copy of block log. That feature is useful if you have multiple nodes on servers in the same location (for example for different services, load balancing or witness with bastion node).
Depends on how long it has been running for. Mine is 97G and slowly growing. I believe mine is experiencing a bug, because most of my nodes are ~2GB, but some are growing.
I believe this is what someguy does with his hosted witness node service.
Dear @jacobtothe @steevc @makerhacks
It’s almost comical how you accuse us of posting "copypasta shit" while your friends like @makerhacks rush to your defense, downvoting and deflecting instead of addressing the actual issues at hand. Funny enough, @makerhacks is also one a supporter of the BuildaWhale scam farm LOL—a fact that speaks volumes about the company you keep. It seems your circle is more interested in protecting abusive practices than fostering transparency and accountability on Hive.
You claim our responses are "arrogant and flowery," yet you fail to acknowledge the substance of what we’re saying. We expose truths that make you uncomfortable, and instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue, you resort to personal attacks and suppression tactics. Downvotes don’t change facts—they only highlight your desperation to silence dissent. If you truly believed in honesty and integrity, you’d confront the truth instead of hiding behind your friends’ coordinated efforts.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Bilpcoin stands for something. We’re here to fight for everyone on Hive by exposing corruption and abuse. What do you stand for? Apparently, silencing the truth with downvotes and enabling scam farms like BuildaWhale. That’s not leadership LOL—it’s complicity.
If you and your friends really cared about Hive, you’d stop enabling harm and start reflecting on your actions. Until then, we’ll continue shining a light on the truth because no amount of censorship or intimidation will stop us. The blockchain doesn’t lie, and neither do we.
I wonder how does it even work (what is the content of your .artifacts) - valid file contains header (
artifact_file_header) and then one 24 byte record for each block (artifact_file_chunk). If your file is bigger it definitely points to a bug. Your log might already contain some info pointing to source of a problem (look for messages originating fromblock_log_artifacts.cppor any warnings/errors related to block log).I was going to blow the node away since my other nodes it is 2.2GB or so, but this one it just has been growing, but if I can get some information on where this bug is coming from, it would be helpful to resolve it.
Dear @themarkymark
It’s clear that you know we’re sharing the truth—yet instead of addressing the issues we’ve exposed, you continue farming Hive through schemes like the BuildaWhale scam farm and other accounts under your control. Why do you persist in these harmful practices when they’ve already been brought to light? The blockchain doesn’t lie, and every transaction tells a story—one that reveals exactly what you’re doing.
You cannot win this fight because we are fighting for transparency, accountability, and the betterment of Hive. Meanwhile, you’re fighting to protect scams, farms, and suppression tactics like coordinated downvotes. How can anyone take you seriously when your actions speak louder than your words? You’ve been exposed, yet you double down on behaviors that harm the ecosystem. This isn’t just questionable—it’s a glaring red flag about your priorities and integrity.
At Bilpcoin, our mission is simple: to expose the truth and hold bad actors accountable. What do you contribute to Hive besides scamming, farming, and silencing dissent? Every day, you “like” your own spam comments, burn through curation rewards, and exploit the system as if it’s an unlimited money glitch. But here’s the irony: you’ve done all of this on a blockchain—a permanent, immutable record. If you thought you were being clever, think again. Your actions are there for everyone to see, and they paint a damning picture.
Why not stop the farming and scamming and actually help Hive? The community deserves better than individuals who prioritize personal gain over its health and growth. Until you change course, we’ll continue shining a light on the truth—because Hive deserves honesty, not exploitation.
Sincerely,
The Bilpcoin Team
