Yes I do remember, the node ’power’ page hasn’t changed in 6 mo and still takes 20sec to load 8 nodes. If you want people to have several nodes so that the community network is decentralized then they need a tool that actual can perform.
I also remember how features on that page were removed since they stopped working correctly in the nodes, such as status.
We see how unimportant that feature is, as 2 different builder projects have that as a key item of their operation.
Do you remember how many times I asked the UI of that page to be reworked so that more nodes could be seen on one page, but we still only have 3 (if even) and a bunch of whitespace.
As for mainnet coming a long way since the start, the frequency of bugs in the network causing issues has increased from none, to about 1 a week on average over the past 3 months.
As for a smart guy, yes I would say so since I pointed out many of these issues before your team has seen them. Of course I am told it must be on my end only to have that walked back in a few hours that there may be something affecting the network in a few cases.
Also I believe in January I discreetly pointed out to the incog team that on the pnodes current disk use trajectory they would be running out of diskspace by October. While no tasks were on the roadmap to alter the data format size on the devices, in late February there were 2 new items to address that issue. Soon followed by the pushback of opening shard slots from March to April 2020, and then in April move to this next year.
All the new directions and hype would be fine if the core items worked and were stable. But the transactions are a joke, there is no solution that incog has put together and you were looking to me to build it for you.
But you don’t have a decentralized network pushing thousands of transactions that provide fees to validators.
With almost 50 nodes and half running for nearly 6months the accumulated value of all their transaction fees is less than 5prvs in value. I don’t see the rewards being eclipsed by transaction fee earnings for some time, but I do see the rewards quickly shrinking per node.
Sustainability is a design concern that needs to be included in your products.
JServers shared pool solution didn’t close because it wasn’t sustainable, far from it.
Our design could keep going forever, but with the issue we saw, the risk to our clients’ investment was too great.
We still provide private full node hosting but have shared our concerns with these members as well.
Best wishes.
