Zcash Operators: Earn ZEC for your uptime


I’ve got it setup, no u address added yet I’ll have to figure that out. -Done

node=zcash.dontpanic.biz:8232
lightwalletd=zcash.dontpanic.biz:9067

Is this right? Sorry I have no idea what I’m doing.

What other information would be good for this dashboard on these systems

I added my U address to the config with DONATION_ADDRESS=
and restarted. I hope this does it

In the process of doing all of this I wanted to try and make it easy for anyone to join in. Even Grandma.
While it’s not perfect you will still need to help Grandma with Domain/subdomain config and port forwarding I think I’ve removed all the other steps but installing
Mint/Ubuntu
And Clicking Next a few times

Grandma needs Domain Address
Email address
U Address

This took weeks to do with the 94% failure rate Ai coders. So any support is welcome.

There is no way it will be perfect but I hope it will close some gaps for a while.

It seems like the lightwalletd isn’t started or its port is not open in your firewall.
You can check from outside in linux console using this command:
grpcurl zcash.dontpanic.biz:9067 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo

hmm. I don’t have
grpcurl 127.0.0.1:9067 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo
grpcurl: command not found
Figure it wouldn’t be this easy.

lol 3 weeks later

yeah I have something broken. I tried for many hours and failed I’ll come back to it this weekend. Sorry

my node started

myzec.cryptover.site:443

I’m getting ready to join the uptime program and want to make sure my setup is actually correct before I submit anything. Here’s what I’ve got running:

  • zcashd v5.9.0 (built from source)

  • Configured with txindex=1, rpcbind=127.0.0.1, added peers

  • Syncing normally

  • lightwalletd running as the zcash user, connects fine

One thing though: I had to run lightwalletd on port 9071 instead of 9067 because of a port conflict.

Some questions for you before I publish my endpoint:

  1. Is using a different gRPC port (9071 instead of 9067) okay, or will that cause issues?

  2. Am I missing any required config flags for either zcashd or lightwalletd?

  3. Is building zcashd from source supported for this program, or should I be using a different method?

Kindly share your thoughts as I just want to make sure I’m not going to break something. T for Thanks!

I posted my node on workshops forum yesterday, but my message is still not appeared there so I post here as well

grpcurl w.optiontec.cfd:443

I configured my node and hope it works as expected. Please add it

zeclight.lol:443

I used Zebra instead zcashd, because I saw news that it will be deprecated somewhere soon

Giving this another attempt hope this right.

@emersonian please include this: lwd.zcashexplorer.app:9067

Test:
grpcurl lwd.zcashexplorer.app:9067 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLatestBlock

At least I think my node should take 1st place in extraordinary naming category :grin:
And definitely will get some donations :rofl:
Please add to the list! Thanks

Hi!
How did you test that? Where’s your domain name? You provided only IP.
Also, nothing I see I coould connect on the port 443 on that IP.

Could you test this for me?

grpcurl zcash.dontpanic.biz:9067 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo
Failed to dial target host "zcash.dontpanic.biz:9067": connection error: desc = "transport: error while dialing: dial tcp 174.45.174.149:9067: connect: connection refused"

Check your firewall, maybe this port is blocked there

I’m running a IP 45.55.79.71:443 not a domain I’ll add a domain if it’s a must have, Zaino is indexing still after complete connection should work.

I’ve checked them. I changed the config from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0
try that I guess. If it doesnt’ work I’ll just give up and assume after 3 weeks it’s no for me.

That’s a very old zcashd version!
