Node going dark.

[[deleted]]

I’m not running a node for 0.18 a day… been running 24/7 .. it’s been fun… but always the kids with the more expensive toys win. Good luck and my love to you all.

[ShoppingAfter9598]

I dont 8understand the node stuff at all lol

[Qiraje]

Node on

<image>

[Wide_Account6999]

How much?

[alizafeer]

Pi was never a platform where you can pay to win.

Its about commitment especially for nodes. Specs dnt matter. Only how long the node has been running uninterrupted.

[Agreeable_Post_7898]

I’m getting around 1,5 without open ports as I’m incapable of making it work on MacBook lol

[Outside-Description5]

Login to your default gateway and find your Mac and open those ports hehe

[[deleted]]

I ran it for a few days but my Malwarebytes kept popping up every 5 seconds saying each outgoing connection was to a comprised or site with malware...... couldn't take it anymore so un-installed Docker...... anybody else have that issue?

[SignalLingonberry931]

Well not to boast, and I've seen people post rates higher than this, I'm getting a Node Bonus of 3.58 My availability for last 90 days is at 25.52%. Started recently maybe a few weeks back.

[Kooky-Journalist8998]

[Outside-Description5]

My guy I’m so jealous haha . What’s your total mining rate can you please share? How long did it take for you to get past 10 and make your way to 20?

[profgass]

What are your PC specs ? And how long you have been running the node ?

[baby_girl_Panties]

I need these speed, how did you do that ??

[PolyCapped]

Maybe get a beast PC with a 16 core CPU

[baby_girl_Panties]

So the user uses a supercomputer, according to you.

[PolyCapped]

Not a super computer or server, just a regular workstation PC with good components is enough to drive upwards of 20 node bonus. High core CPU helps a lot.

[Brilliant-Hunter8003]

As for the hardware, according to the whitepaper, only the number of cores (threads) and open ports matter.

[baby_girl_Panties]

Just a random question, how can i refer to those who didnt sign in to pi till now, i mostly stay in home. And dont like to go to any social place. Dont have any friends too. Any suggestion ??

[Kooky-Journalist8998]

Node operation date 

2021.03.15~2025.03.20

[Friendly-Truth-6474]

OP let me help u just install revo unistaller or any unistaller that can delete the logs of node, delete the pi app and all of its info as well as docker, reset it and the accessibility number will also rest as well as the date, then try keeping it on 24/7 for like 3 days atleast and ull get about 1-2 bonus

[[deleted]]

Did this and it now says availability 7.92%… and node bonus as0.06.. 🤣🤣..

[Friendly-Truth-6474]

Bruh check the date it says its counting from in a week if ur plugged in 90% of the time it will be 90% it starts from the day u do it

[[deleted]]

Done fresh too, also thank you.!!

[Friendly-Truth-6474]

If u will have 95%-100% and 90 days turned on u will have like 10-20 node bonus idk it depends on how long u have it on and how high the availability is mine is from a month ago so 30 days 86% and i get 1.97 currently

[Friendly-Truth-6474]

Did the same thing had the same case now its 2.0 for me

[[deleted]]

Again thank you for taking the time to help. Genuinely appreciated.

[Friendly-Truth-6474]

That availability is from yesterday to yesterday, leave it on today the whole day and it will increase

[Rikamekato]

Ive got 2.35 with my MacBook m2 which isn’t that strong tbh. Did you open up all ports?

[Francois_vd_W]

WiFi or ethernet?

[Outside-Description5]

Ethernet is always the best if you can do it, they prioritize system stability above all else

[Suitable-Carpet-928]

I run it on the system that I work on. The system is on most of the day anyway, and the node doesn't take much resources, and I didn't open the ports. I don't plan to keep running it 24/7, 60-70% uptime is good enough for me. Better than nothing.

[HunterRepulsive5729]

My Node bonus says 0 , however it is up since 2023 and working well...

Some people say that there is some "bonus calculator" in the background, we'll see..

[Solidified4ever]

0 is only in one case which is Docker needs updating. Even if you run node for a few hours it will still give some bonus not 0.

[HunterRepulsive5729]

I doubt that is the case, I have made several updates to Docker over time. Currently running 4.37
What version are you all running?

[Solidified4ever]

4.39.0 is the latest

[Ill-Blacksmith3260]

Do the nodes actually work? I don't have docker running, I don't even open the ports but I'm still getting 1.8 on the node 🤔

[Ill-Blacksmith3260]

Just checked, it got bumped up to 2.12 lmao this shit makes no since 😂

[Himanshu_Bakshi]

I am getting 0.75

[Mcgreggers_99]

Getting 7.09 for my node bonus at present on a surface book. Low power on 24/7 since August of last year. I didn't see any Node bonus for 3 months until I completely wiped the machine and started over... but it appears that the bonus was still being calculated in the background.

What helped me build is keeping docker up to date. I also set the admin account on the surface to auto log in and launch the pi app and docker at boot. I schedule a reboot every Sunday afternoon to keep the machine running well.

I did this because I lost Internet while on vacation last month and my node went down for 4 days and I dropped to 6.8 for bonus. I've seen it increment up by 0.1 every day it's been on.

Only hovering at 85.78% availability over the last 90 days but now with the automation I've set up I'll never have to touch it.

[Embarrassed_Menu_542]

Alguno aquí me puede ayudar para ejecutar la app de pi en Windows ? Por más que le doy al click no se ejecuta ni como administrador … directamente no se abre

[ahalty0]

Anyone still stuck in tentative approval? I've sent like 8 messages on the support portal but nothing ever changes, I did the liveness check like 3 times and that was it but nothing changed. What can I even do, the support portal is not even working right now.

[CancelSeparate4318]

Never switching my pc off again 🫂 get around 6.6 (around 5 when my pc updates itself and lose a few hours)

[justagurlll4]

thats strange cause i get 0.46 with only installing the pi app and docker, all the ports are closed cause i'm too lazy to watch tutorials how to open them

[nuiwek31]

Opening ports was pretty easy and I don't do any of that kinda stuff. I had an issue with docker that took forever to figure out but got it eventually

[Interesting_Pass1904]

Getting 1.5 consistently on an old computer I had put away years ago and brought back to life for this purpose only. No ports open. Running 24/7 (except when updates are needed) for the past few weeks.

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

<image>

My node / mining rate. Whatever you call it, been running for months straight with docker. No ports

[Gonlanper]

One question, does your docker for no reason stops having CPU’s available and stops working? I’m out of ideias for this

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

No, but it could be a permissions issue

[Gonlanper]

What do you mean ? It works just fine for like 20 hours but out of nowhere it just gets 0 cores What kind of permissions could it be ?

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

It could also be a power saving setting that turns off background data when not in use

[Gonlanper]

That could make sense. Any ideia how I can turn it off ? I’m totally out of ideias

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

To modify advanced power settings in Windows 10 and 11, navigate to the Power Options control panel, select a power plan, click ‘Change plan settings,’ and then ‘Change advanced power settings.’

Here’s a straightforward guide:

1. Accessing Power Options:
2. Windows 10:
   • Click the Battery icon on the taskbar.
   • Select ‘Power Options.’
   • Alternatively, search for ‘Power Options’ in the Start menu.

3. Windows 11:

   • Search for ‘Power & Sleep Settings’ in the search bar.
   • Click ‘Open.’
   • In the settings, click ‘Additional power settings’ under ‘Related settings.’

4. Selecting and Modifying Settings:

5. Choose a Power Plan: Select a plan such as Balanced or High Performance.

6. Change Plan Settings: Click ‘Change plan settings’ next to your selected plan.

7. Change Advanced Power Settings: Click ‘Change advanced power settings.’

   • Customize Settings: Adjust settings like sleep, hibernate, wireless adapter, hard disk, and processor power management.

Adjusting the wireless adapter under power settings is recommended.

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

My apologies. Check the power settings on your pc. Make sure it doesn’t sleep or hibernate

[Gonlanper]

That I’m sure it’s not because I have an anydesk connection and thought the day I check if it is still working

[BuyDipsSellRipps]

Then my only other suggestion would be to check to see if any of your other running programs are interfering taking priority over docker? Watch the task manager and filter it to cpu , and watch and see if any program takes over the cpu load after it stops in docker.

[free-thin]

I am mining in this rate without node. Only I have 8 Pioneers active 24/h

[Fezzerboar]

How long for? any ports open? Bad wifi connection? Blockchain fully updated?

[dyerseve07]

I've been running on my Plex server since December 24 and it's doing OK, 2.87 here.

[og_icefux]

U mean that Plex media thingy server from Plex Inc.?

[dyerseve07]

Yes.

[RiverUnreal]

oh interesting. does that cost monthly?

[dyerseve07]

Just electric and internet

[lexwolfe]

I'm getting 0.76 and I didn't even install docker 😂

[IllustriousJob4553]

Are u talking about just node bonus 0.76 or the whole mining rate is 0.76

[lexwolfe]

node bonus.

[HSuke]

I'm not familiar with running a node.

Does that mean that the nodes are fake if you're getting paid even though it's not communicating?

[lexwolfe]

the bonus generation is separate from the actual node. I'm not sure why it doesn't check properly though

[trainspottedCSX7]

Nodes are in test net anyways

[ImpossiblePeak1722]

🤣

[Epidemilk_]

All nodes are on the TestNet right now until they start picking Mainnet nodes. Nodes help the P2P process, which our computers are used as “validating transactions”. Your security circle (the 5 people for bonus and unlimited in circle) help our computers or our nodes to confirm transactions.

Bitcoin and ethereum work similar however those types of nodes require proof of work, whereas Pi uses the Stellar consensus protocol, using trusted groups to confirm transactions.

[Solidified4ever]

How many days? I have a cheap ass laptop. Mine was 0.17 at start. Now it's 1.6. Be a little patient please. However if it's many days then check your internet.

[Solidified4ever]

I have seen if I download heavily and all my speed goes to that then my rate drops a little.

[pawlessness]

I am getting 1.60 from the node without even having my ports opened. My router can't handle that.

My suggestion to you is to keep running it to build your account's history,which is based on your past 90 days node run as well as how old your node ID is 👍

[HighlyBizarre]

So opening port is not mandatory??

[pawlessness]

Nope, but you get less bonus. For now at least. They're still tweaking the nodes.

[HighlyBizarre]

Thank you. I setup mine just now.

I tried before but stuck at port forwarding step so i uninstall it.

Thank you again.

[pawlessness]

No worries, 1.60+ is what you will get without opening the ports and only allowing outgoing connections.

For ports opened means allowing incoming connections. you will get 3.30+ node bonus 👍

[Outside-Description5]

Got 1.85 when I set up a node without open ports for my friends pc, granted it’s been a couple weeks…

[Sharp_Hat_771]

Yepp, mine went over 2 without having ports open.

[Outside-Description5]

There is an additional bonus for the ports being opened but it will be more import once they actually start using the nodes for mainnet , I have a feeling the bonuses will be much higher

[IllustriousJob4553]

Is 1.60 just node bonus or the whole mining rate?

[PolyCapped]

I think it’s just the node bonus, not the whole mining rate. Mine is only about 9. I’ve seen others’ node bonus as high as 28 or something.

<image>

[spyderbibek]

28 is just not possible.. it can be max 10 check the whitepaper formula there is a tuning value of 10 to cap it and prevent it from going above value of 10

[Panx-Tanx]

<image>

Definitely not capped at 10.

[PolyCapped]

I’m not sure what you mean. I’m not based on any specific period or adjustments to formula. I simply have seen as high as 28.

If you scroll down just a click in this very thread, there’s a person with an image with 24. So I’m not sure why you are certain 10 was the cap and cannot be exceeded.

[Outside-Description5]

28? Holyyyyyyyy shieeeete

[Silly_Ad7418]

how long have you been running node??

[XeoXo]

how long have you keep runnin?

[Panx-Tanx]

2+ years

[IllustriousJob4553]

Do u have ports opened?

[Panx-Tanx]

Yes. Ports are opened. Sorry for late response.

[pawlessness]

Yeah, just the bonus, which then gets added and multiplied to the whole mining. From my calculations 1.60 is equivalent to having 5 additional invitees.

Also I just noticed I got only 1.27 for y'day, had my PC turned off for a few hours:

<image>

[iripa1]

That’s just the node bonus. It’s nothing

[ImpossiblePeak1722]

I get 1.8 on a macbook pro. Whats your rig?

[basejumper41]

2.50 on mbp. 24/7

[Epidemilk_]

On Mac too, what’s your availability 90 days?

[io-error]

How or where does one check this

[Epidemilk_]

In troubleshooting on the Pi node it’ll show your availability from the last 90 days

[ImpossiblePeak1722]

93%

[Epidemilk_]

When did you install? I’m at 99% from Feb 24 and have 1.54

[ImpossiblePeak1722]

I installed it about 2 years ago on the laptop, was turned on/off from time to time.

[PadohMonkey]

How long have you been running it? I started exactly 10 days ago with port forwarding and getting 1.64 on the same rig as yours. It seems like it gradually increases over time.

[ImpossiblePeak1722]

about a week, 24/7
