Post Eclipse fork, new graphics 😀
Infrastructure changes
For those who remember the Black Friday deal on a dedicated server that I managed to secure last year, the offer will be expiring at the end of this month. That means it is time for me to move servers!
Currently, it runs hived.techcoderx.com block producing raw Appbase endpoint. When I first rented the server, it was sufficient to run a full RPC node. However, due to increasing disk requirements, I had to stop running Hivemind to free up disk space as announced here and redirect all Hivemind related calls to another public node (currently api.c0ff33a.uk) as I ran out of monthly budget to get another one running.
Going into 2021, I will be running the hived AH node and Hivemind (yes I'm bringing it back to techcoderx.com) on my home connection to minimize costs. I have a fully synced AH node on v1.24.6 on my PC (which took 7 days of replay with only AH RocksDB database on a spinning drive that I have), and I ordered all the required parts that I need on Singles Day sale yesterday to get the rest of the full RPC infrastructure running. Make sure to follow this blog as I will have a video on it when I receive them.
Most OneLoveIPFS services will be down (excluding IPFS gateway) between 1 to 24 hours while the rest of the server migration takes place after I get the full RPC node running.
OneLoveIPFS v2 & Alive protocol
In preparation of Alive protocol, work is being done on OneLoveIPFS uploader to properly support live streaming by enabling HLS .ts chunk uploads. It is highly likely that Alive protocol will be launched on Hive (and possibly Blurt at the same time) initially as no hardfork is required due to the use of custom_json operations to store all the stream chunk hashes on-chain.
Furthermore, the v2 update will include other fixes such as calculations in disk usage and blank Avalon custom key authentication.
I will also be bringing back the IPFS Discord pinning bot (repository, to be renamed) very soon after OneLoveIPFS uploader v2 release is complete.
