DERO Node Setup

Excuse me, what can I do with that node, and what do I gain from it?

Can I mine with that node? Excuse my ignorance a bit for the questions I ask. It’s just that I’m new to this, I saw this project and fell in love with it. Thanks again for your help

Fastest way to mine is to use remote node but you pay 10% fees.
Download latest release.
Register your Stargate address/wallet first.
Start mining with following cmd:
./dero-miner --mining-threads 22 --wallet-address walletAddress

Note: Remote mining node is minernode1.dero.io.

What is the function of the new version – sync-node?

Is the official node of miner connection “-- daemon-RPC-address 190.2.136.120:10100”?
Or do you have to use "minernode1.dero.live:10100“

Better to use domain name minernode1.dero.live.
Use Ipaddress in cases like mobiles where DNS resolving fails sometimes.

--sync-node is used to sync node with one of the seed nodes.

hi
mount dataFsFile dNodedata
How can I make this process happen automatically at system startup?

Add following entry in fstab to automount
/path/dataFsFile /path/dNodedata xfs defaults 0 0

man fstab for fine tuning mount options.

what is the optimized space for linux setup if running own node? how much space should be allocated for xfs file system? any pointers appreciated? The mainnet folder slows down dramatically in windows system, tried to use rocky linux but no go, looking at debian.

Thanks

100GB is good enough for next few years.
Use XFS filesystem on any linux OS as described above.

How to rsync on windows machines:

  1. Download cwrsync from here: cwRsync - Rsync for Windows | itefix.net → currently the cwrsync_6.2.4_x64_free.zip version
  2. Extract it somewhere
  3. There is cwrsync.cmd file, open it in text editor and at the end of file add this line:
    rsync --port=2048 -av rsync://141.95.86.80/DEROblockchainDB/mainnet ./
  4. Save, close, and run the script (double click the cwrsync.cmd file)
  5. It is downloading the mainnet folder to the current directory.
  6. When the script finishes, you can move the mainnet folder to the directory where you have the derod executable (just delete the old broken mainnet folder before that).

(of course you can run the cwrsync.cmd directly in the derod folder, but you would need to copy also the bin and etc directories with it)

What file system is recommened for FreeBSD, UFS? If so, what options should be used when creating the file system with newfs for best results in running a node?

This is what I came up with so far:

newfs -b 4096 -i 256 /dev/ada2s1a

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=newfs&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+13.1-RELEASE+and+Ports

-b block-size
The block size of the file system, in bytes. It must be a power
of 2. The default size is 32768 bytes, and the smallest allow-
able size is 4096 bytes. The optimal block:fragment ratio is
8:1. Other ratios are possible, but are not recommended, and may
produce poor results.

-f frag-size
The fragment size of the file system in bytes. It must be a
power of two ranging in value between blocksize/8 and blocksize.
The default is 4096 bytes.

-i bytes
Specify the density of inodes in the file system. The default is
to create an inode for every (2 * frag-size) bytes of data space.
If fewer inodes are desired, a larger number should be used; to
create more inodes a smaller number should be given. One inode
is required for each distinct file, so this value effectively
specifies the average file size on the file system.

Go for large number of inodes with smallest blocks size possible.

I started to run my Node yesterday and I am only at block 1578**.
It looks like it will take forever before I reach the current block.

How can I speed up things?

Thanks

Between blocks 140,000 and ~180,000 it can take a bit longer than normal to sync. There was a period of time with large volumes of registration txns and normal txns throughout the network that you are syncing in. It’ll speed up significantly past that point.

Ensure you’re using an SSD for best performance. Full sync takes around 4 or so days in some cases longer, depending on a few factors.

Yo, so DERO is over 100G now

Please update size requirements for the xfs node setup
