Running one instance both onion and clear net. No issues occurred that month.

Events

The instance wasn't reachable for a couple of hours as connection timeouts occurred. Instance was up and running and no obvious issue was causing this problem on DigitalOcean. After a restart everything was up and running again.

Would any of the current @bisq-network/btcnode-operators be up for taking over the role of Bitcoin Node Maintainer (#66) from @ManfredKarrer?

This means the following:

  • Take administrative ownership of the https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq-btcnode repository (which currently has no activity, but see below)
  • Put together a common bitcoin.conf configuration file that all @bisq-network/btcnode-operators stay in sync with, and version control it in the aforementioned repository. This basically means figuring out what everyone is using right now for configuration, and normalizing that into what everyone should be using.
  • Staying on top of any issues that show up in the bisq-btcnode repository and being on point for any conversations / questions in the #btcnode Slack channel.
  • Doing monthly reports on the Bitcoin Node Maintainer role issue at #66.

I think this is quite low-hanging fruit with basically no extra ongoing work other than the quick report every month, and it would be a real value-add to get the common config file put together.

@cbeams @ManfredKarrer I feel I should take this one. My organizational skills are really not made for any kind of admin role but this one seems pretty manageable.

i3a5xtzfm4xwtybd.onion had a hard drive crash. After replacing the hard drive it also stopped spontaneously, seemingly due to a tor issue and had to be restarted.

End of month

No further issues after replacing hard drive. Connection count seems to hover around 250 - 300 per instance.
