I want to know if the latest versions that the node should have also include the RC versions, since these versions are unstable for node production.
So, the most recent software is Zaino. Do we have to migrate, or can we continue using lighwalletd according to each participant’s preferences?
If there are cases like the one we are seeing, where people have not received payment because they are within the range of those selected, how can they be sure that they have received the corresponding payment?
Hello everyone, first of all, thanks to my dear @Blakiat for the support and guidance with the configuration. I wanted to announce that the node is now running at zec.topacio.trade:443. I would like to support and be part of the event. I also had a question: is there currently any portal like UptimeRobot to monitor the availability of the nodes?
Hi, Happy because we were able to install the first node.manyrz.xyz:443. Looking forward to registering three more friends to contribute to the network. Keep it up, and thanks for making privacy normal!. Thanks
Seems that my Raspberry Pi died last night, I believe the SSD ended up corrupted or something that the OS does not boot anymore. It actually did way better than I initially expected, and ran as a Zcash full node for a few months, so happy that it died doing what matters to the world
This was a great initiative and I’m happy to be one of the early ones here. Seeing the number of community nodes now (comparing to 20 when we started) I think my work here is done and I can rest easy knowing that people are running the nodes on much better machines than my tiny raspberry pi from home.
Thanks for everyone making this happen and hope to see you soon <3
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with 500 GB microSSD. There were a few power outages in my building last week, my guess is that something went wrong there (gotta get that UPS one day).
Currently I’m traveling and cannot SSH into the machine, even after asking my family to do a few power cycles. I can check next month when I have physical access to see what is going on there.
Update: Server seems to be back up currently, still no SSH access but I can see my Zcash node running
We’ve updated how 30-day uptime is calculated on the Hosh monitoring dashboard. This change provides a fairer representation of server reliability while accounting for how long each server has been tracked.
What Changed
Previous calculation:
Uptime was calculated as successful checks / max checks across all servers
This compared every server against whichever server had the most checks in the 30-day period
Servers that were offline or unreachable for periods received fewer total checks, which may have penalized them twice: once for the failed checks, and again for having fewer checks than the most-active server
New calculation:
Uptime is now calculated as (successful checks / server's own total checks) × (days announced / 30)
The “days announced” factor is capped at 30 days
What This Means
The new formula has two components:
Success rate - What percentage of checks succeeded out of the checks performed against this specific server
Time factor - How much of the 30-day window the server has been known to the monitoring system
Server Age
Maximum Possible Uptime
1 day
3.33%
7 days
23.33%
15 days
50%
30+ days
100%
The new approach:
Evaluates each server independently based on its own check history
Prevents newly announced servers from immediately achieving high uptime scores
Rewards consistent, long-term availability
Impact on Existing Servers
Servers tracked for 30+ days with high success rates may see their uptime scores increase (no longer penalized by comparison to other servers)
Newer servers will see lower uptime percentages until they reach the 30-day threshold
ZEC and BTC now use identical uptime calculations
Thank you for participating and we hope you have a great holiday week.
If your server is not appearing, note that it must pass one check to be added to the list. Try connecting to your server using a Zcash wallet to verify that it is working, or try pinging it with zecping.
Hi! I think it’s something wrong.
My node zlw.nodemaster.link:9067 haven’t appear in the leader board. I checked it and it works just fine, has latest zebra and lightwalletd. Event though there’s some nodes which appeared on the leader board having the same versions as mine. I thought it was just some kind of bug, but I checked the list and found that some other nodes are not included also, having latest versions and uptime. Currently leader board showing 47 positions, not 50, so it means that my eligible node is not included and so the same for some other nodes. Please, check. Thanks
, that is not normal behavior my pi’s have been running for years with both zcashd/zebrad. ( can DM if you want )
