Steem Pressure #5 - Run, Block, Run!
Run, boy, run! They’re trying to catch you.
In the previous episode of the Steem Pressure series, we checked how much time we needed to get a fully functional steem consensus node from scratch.
We also took a closer look at the steemd version v0.19.2 resync and replay performance for 20’000’000 blocks.
It was back in the pre-appbase era with the HardFork 19 rules.
Time flies, and so do blocks.
Recently, our chain has grown beyond 30’000’000 blocks, and this offers a good opportunity to look at the performance once again, especially as we have also seen many important changes in the code.
Time needed for replay
We won’t be measuring --resync performance this time, because we want to avoid the bias introduced by external factors such as network latency and the performance of 3rd party nodes.
We will focus on the --replay part, using block_log file, which we can get either from a previous --resync operation or we can download it from a another instance or public source.
If you want to find out more about the difference between --resync and --replay, feel free to read the previous episode.
Test setup
We have exactly the same machine as in the previous episodes:
An entry-level dedicated machine with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 V2 @ 3.40GHz on an Ivy Bridge with 32GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM and 3x 120GB SSD.
That’s not the configuration I use for my witness nodes, because as a consensus witness that takes part in every round, I’m not going to risk losing blocks sporadically due to high latency.
However, that is a perfect test configuration to check the performance of steemd for the purposes of public seed nodes, backup witnesses, state providers, private RPC endpoints for wallets, or even exchanges, as account_history plugin with just one or two tracked accounts has a negligible footprint on the performance.
But why?
If we have all the blocks downloaded to our disk, we have all the data about all transactions that were performed on the Steem blockchain. But at this point we still can’t say how much Steem Power Alice has or how many upvotes Bob’s most recent post about cute kittens received.
We can’t until we check (replay) every block since The Genesis.
That’s the only way to validate the current state of Steem.
Every three seconds, one of the witnesses signs a new block (head block) with new transactions making the whole process increasingly difficult.
Speed does matter
When you can’t replay fast enough to catch up with the current head block in a reasonable time, you are doomed.
Of course, you can rely on your state providers, snapshots, etc., but whenever you run out of reliable copies of the reasonably recent state (due to software or hardware failures), or whenever new features are introduced, you have no other choice but to replay.
When something unexpected happens
Back in September, after an unexpected event caused by a bug, we were forced to replay with the fixed code.
That’s where the ability to replay the whole blockchain from scratch in less than 4 hours and multiple high-end servers at your service pays off. Especially when you need to do that multiple times.
I started producing again at block 26038153 (one hell of a block!), soon after we got back to a fully operational status.
There were no transactions going on between 12:47:00 and 19:56:51 UTC.
And it could have been much worse.
Benchmarks
v0.19.2 - pre-appbase, 20M blocks, 2018-02-19
In the previous episode, we were able to replay 20M blocks in 145 minutes.
v0.19.12 - appbase, 25M blocks, 2018-08-12
There were a number of optimizations to improve reindex performance.
With appbase based steemd v0.19.12, we were able to replay 20M blocks in 121 minutes and reach the 25M block mark in less than 5 hours.
v0.20.9 - Current version, 30M blocks, 2019-02-02
The current version of steemd is even faster. Despite “Reconstructing Block Log Index..” itself takes over 6 minutes longer, we were able to replay 20M blocks in 115 minutes, reach the 25M block mark 25 minutes earlier than v0.19.12, and replay 30M blocks in less than 8 hours (7h38m)
Replay speed
Replay speed, measured at 100k block intervals never drops below 324 blocks per second, and the last 1M blocks replay at an average speed of 454 blocks per second.
Summary
| Replay | v0.19.2 | v0.19.12 | v0.20.9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 M blocks | 145 min | 121 min | 115 min |
| 25 M blocks | n/a | 297 min | 272 min |
| 30 M blocks | n/a | n/a | 458 min |
Paying attention pays off
By paying attention to performance, we are able to identify and resolve issues that, if underestimated, may prove silent killers and endanger the reliability of our platform in the long run.
One of such incidents I detected during appbase development was a witness plugin that caused significant resync performance degradation
Upcoming improvements
We are nearing 50GB of state file size for a consensus node.
As you can see, with the current architecture, that is difficult for servers with “only” 32GB of RAM.
I’m looking forward to the MIRA release.
My preliminary benchmarks of MIRA branches are far from being optimistic, but Steemit Inc team updates say that MIRA jest under heavy development / optimization phase; a lot of effort is being put into making it replay in reasonable time, but the advantage would involve robust access to the state in low memory conditions.

Good job, buddy !!!!!!!!
Ahahaha are you watching Umbrella Academy too? Pretty sure that track was used there
Not yet, we are watching third Fargo currently. :-)
What is the umbrella academy? Been told by multiple people to watch it.
Netflix series. Weird one. Per @geekpowered review:
Thanks for doing this @gtg - very cool to know that replays are faster than ever before.
Wondered what you meant when you said that the block was one hell of a block. Checked it out on steemd. WOAH, (https://steemd.com/b/26038153), 70K virtual ops.
Thank you @gtg for improving this great blockchain

I can see that replay speed, as important as it may be now, is going to be even more so as we get into 100 million blocks, not to mention 1 billion, etc. I know it's a ways off at our current rate (I guess things would change if we had a significant increase in user activity), but is that something these current modifications are going to help with, especially when our rate of block creation is running at twice or thrice the speed it is now? So, basically, we'll have storage issues unless we can continue to compact things, and/or speed replay issues, right?
Also, I'm wondering, if I'm reading this correctly—in v. 0.20.9, there appears to be a difference of 157 minutes between replaying 20 million blocks and 25 million blocks, but it's up to 186 minutes between 25 to 30 million blocks. Did the blocks get heavier with more transactions between 25 and 30, or is there something else at play?
Content of blocks matters, both amount of transactions within a block and types of operations (there are differences between resources needed to process them, which is reflected in their Resource Credits costs)

Thanks and I've just voted for you :)
Damned, I got infected by a Steem virus. Sorry to !sneeze at you 😪
Try to use fron-end agnostic links there, i.e. Instead of using
[King of Disease!](https://steempeak.com/@king-of-disease/beware-the-steem-plague-is-here)that explicitly takes user to steempeak, you can use:[King of Disease!](/@king-of-disease/beware-the-steem-plague-is-here)so users will stay where they are and most likely are logged in too.
King of disease is an initiative from @suesa, not me. Anyway, I will pass your good hint forward to her.
You have been infected by the King of Disease!
Will you quarantine yourself?
Or will you spread the plague?
Congratulations @gtg! You received a personal award!

Sir give me 100% upvote in my post to helping homeless children
Posted using Partiko Messaging
What do you mean exactly?
How upvoting your post could possibly help homeless children in Bangladesh?
Why don't you bring some value here, instead, get rewarded for that, and then help them?
ProTip: posting copied content doesn't bring any value to the platform.
Thanks a lot for this report, I also wrote a report about how I've reached the reputation 70. I included you as well because I'm voting for you as a witness all this time. Thanks for being so valuable to steem.
Enjoyed the song :)
Great fight by the way! :-)
@gtg, have you considered using auto voter instead of sitting on all that VP?Or perhaps delegation? I could really use one of the 2. I am a fulltime steemian mostly focused on dtube, steemhunt & steempress. I know we are not acquainted (yet), but would you please put me into consideration?
Sincerely, Elsie.
Yes, but I'm not a fan of either. Both leads to abuse in a long run. That's why I'm one of those very few users who are not selling Votes or Steem Power.
In the end it's not that bad with my VP. It's not that idle as it might seem, and I'm working to improve this.
As for voting patterns, taking into account last 7 days (that from @steemchiller's SteemWorld,
You:
100 upvotes to 45 accounts, 11.12% was self-votes
5 most voted authors (last week) by you:
Me:
100 upvotes to 80 accounts, 0.21% was self-votes
5 most voted authors (last week) by me
Your voting pattern is more concentrated (fewer frequently voted authors) and more selfish (over 10% votes to yourself ). Another thing is that I use my votes for flagging, from time to time.
But ...
to give you a chance, I can setup a wise rule for you, so you could use equivalent of my 100% vote each day for a week. The only catch here is that the rules wouldn't be easy to met.
Would you like to try? :-)
WOW. Okay, First of all, Thank you for a Very Detailed feedback. In all honesty I hadn't looked at the stats on steemworld, I just stumbled on your blog and decided to reach out when I saw your VP just sitting at 100%, my bad.
I'm speechless, I never thought of self support as selfish, personally I see it as tapping oneself on the back for all the work I put in. You don't create as much, you probably would be around the same percent if you did, No? I see plenty of Whales upvotong each of their own post and that's fine with me cause at the end of the day they are supporting other creators as well.
Please do. Don't they say If you never ask you'll never know?..
Looking forward :)
Selfish is fine. I'm not saying that I'm not selfish, I'm just saying that stats shows that you are more(*). I just used same measures I use for curators that I chose to support.
Whales use their own SP for their own profit, you are asking to use mine for your own profit.
Why would I do that?
The only reason I could see here is to help reward original, high quality content creators via curation efforts. It would be good for the platform, so it would good for me.
(*) Given that particular data set and measurement methodology.
OK, so let's play a wise.vote game! :-)
(I was going to set this earlier, but I had some troubles with wise, it's still developed so you need to have quite a lot of patience with it ;-) )
The rules are just published to the blockchain:
https://steemd.com/tx/ace57fa3980ba756894c42c841e0f18593b6cb74
Which translates to (human readable form):
https://wise.vote/@gtg/rulesets/for/@elsiekjay
You are allowed to use my up to 25% upvote for a post, up to a total 100% vote equivalent per day, as long as I have more than 80% Voting Power left. I never go below that point so that part should be easy, especially that among all rules I've set in wise, you are the only one who can make me go below 90%.
Above means that for example it is possible to use 4x 25% votes or 10x 10%
Now the more difficult part.
I would like curators to discover original, high quality content that wouldn't be found otherwise. Undiscovered authors, undervalued posts.
Such post should be older than 15 minutes for optimal curation, but no older than 2 days (48 hours). It should have less than 50 votes and less than 10 SBD potential payout at the time of voting (again: undiscovered, undervalued).
Few top voted authors are excluded.
End date is set to 4th May, 12:00 UTC, so it is a little bit more than a week, but I'm aware that you need to get familiar with voting using wise.vote. Please let the @wise-team know if you experience any issues with that.
"May the Fourth be with you!" ;-)
Hey @gtg, First of all, Thank You for the Opportunity :)
I've been familiarizing with the wise.vote website,to be honest I hadn't heard of it prior to your engagement, it's pretty cool!
I would say those are very reasonable rules you've set, doable too. The only one I find a bit off is this
There are plenty of undervalued posts that have less than 10SBD payouts but you'll find the curation trails from the curators make the vote count go way up. Like a $4 post with over 200 votes.
Here's a great example,
All in all, I will do my best in the duration granted:)
Best Wishes :)
That's the point - if there's curation trail already, then it's not undiscovered.
Making some notes from your journey would certainly help wise team to improve their project.
I've just doubled that vote limit (
50->100)(currently there might be some slight delays until my wise instance will catch up with current head block after maintenance - it's 2 hours late, but it should be in sync within 15-20 minutes)In sync now.
Well Noted! Thank you for being considerate.
:)
God, I was really excited about this wise.vote website @gtg, but it's been 2 days now that I haven't managed to log back in. I've reached out to the team on steemchat with no avail yet. Not sure if they have a discord channel, do they?
Any other alternative would be highly appreciated. Super productive week to ya!
El.
I'm sorry for your inconvenience, wise.vote definitely need to work on reliability. As you can see on their Steem.Chat channel I was having some serious issues while settings that delegation to you. Hopefully, the more people will use service, the more bugs will be discovered and fixed. I still believe that they can make a difference.
Seems like they are back up, so you can vote again.
I'm adding 3 more days to the end date.
(I saw first day of your votes, job well done!)
Yes they are back! Thanks for the heads up :)
It really is a great tool, I think most don't know of it's existence.
<3
Nice @gtg. Mode: deny. Haha.
You just cost me potential revenue. Expect a lawsuit!... hahaha
ill live.
Let me know if you decide to do one of these again. I could use some of your VP. Not for myself but rather someone i owe a bit of STEEM to and definitely deserves the vote. :)
All I have is... wow
Is that a good or bad wow? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Its a snarky non-comment. Prolly best to ignore.
Gtg is a top witness. The top 5 people he votes have a couple million SP together and SP is what moves you up the witness ladder.
The top 5 people you vote have 60k SP all together.
Dont let others call you selfish based on stats because stats can be explained in any what way.
Just like @gtg called you selfish i could say he generally votes high SP holders so they can vote him up as a witness.
I could say: "Just wow" to @llfarms and say she mostly votes fellow echo chamber members..
Stats can be explained any way you want.
Nah, it was a pretty straight forward wow. Glad you are here to defend the self entitlement though.. and my stats do speak for themselves.. even though I don’t do much curating lately 🙂
Is “echo chamber” something different than your circle jerk? I’m not sure of the terms you kids are using these days...
My circle jerk? Id love to have one. 😟But not with her. She only has a couple k SP. Thats boring. Maybe if i could get a whale to vote me.. Maybe a sexually unfullfillled psychotic one... That would be great. 😁
Im here to "defend" someone that wrote an honest question and does steem for a living. And youre here moralizing over someone that didnt do or say absolutely anything wrong.
Take some of that moralizing to the guy that doxes people and threatens to kill them...
Posted using Partiko Android
What whale votes do I get from a “sexually unfulfilled psychotic one” 🤔
There was nothing to defend here, your smart ass response actually made it worse, as usual.
Not sure what them doing Steem for a living has anything to do with anything? That’s awesome, I bet many wish they could do so as well.. what’s your point?
I said wow as I was surprised by the comment (I was tagged and it’s what drew my attention to it).. your rude and attacking response to trying to defend where there was no defending needed made me elaborate... so yeah, the entitlement of the comment was shocking.
Maybe Steeming for a living should be backed up with working for a living too? It’s what most of us do. Again, no idea why “steeming for a living” was your basis here for anything.
I said wow, I didn’t bash the girl 😉 and I’ve been moralizing those that actually do wrong all morning. What have you done for the Steem ecosystem lately?
You always seem to come in and really bring a lot to the conversation, great job.
I hope you didnt stand too close to the mirror. It can get foggy and then you have to get your window cleaner and the cleaning cloth and thats just a pain. 😉
Oh snap! You got her good there LL! Wont work for a living like the rest of us do.
Very nice comment Justine. I see you learn fast.
Any more nice comments on how people should lead their lives???
Yeah, no bashing here. None whatsoever.
Well i just defended a steemian that was targeted by a particular someone for absolutely no reason.
Id say ive done plenty for the day.
I wish you well man.. sorry somewhere along the way you got mad that I wasn’t who you wanted me to be. I think it’s time to get over it though and move on.. as singling me out and trying to speak for me is getting a bit old.
I believe our last exchange (where I was answering concerns about a project I am involved in) you told me to “let me do my thing over here and you go do yours.” Maybe take your own advice. Cheers!
I did say that. But see, Elsie is a friend and that actually means something to me...
The one exception to my advice.
Too late lol
True. But this has escalated and diverted from what I intended for it to be. So much negative energy around here.
Some people are very conflict prone and/or like to act holier then thou.
It s inevitable to run into those kind of folks.
Hey @elsiekjay, sorry if my “wow” was seen as negativity. Like I said, good for you for having the self confidence to ask.. I guess possibly the way you asked came off differently than you may have intended. Maybe a lost in text sort of thing and I apologize if me saying wow was offensive.
As far as the rest here.. butterfly and I have a history where he likes to bash and insult me and I respond. To someone not knowing any of this, I guess it looks quite bad. 🙂
I believe the first time I commented on your post was to try to help you with the confusion with the Steem Alliance group, where I linked you some videos I thought may help and tried to correct a comment claiming it was “government”.. where I was essentially told to shut up.
So, again.. this is me stating I meant no offense.. I was just taken aback by the comment. Then butterfly came in to make things worse. In his defense, he was trying to “defend” a friend I guess, but i was not attacking. So I apologize for inability to ignore him.. it’s a bad habit of mine I’m working on. This was nothing against you personally.
Have a good one.
Thank You Justin for the clarity! I Appreciate
Have a great one too.
xo
Except that it would be a lie, that can be easily debunked by data written on the blockchain.
2/5 are not voting for me, including the most voted one which is a non-profit curation initiative.
That "couple million SP together" comes from one guy, or rather his proxy votes, but I don't think he cares about my votes much.
All those contribute a lot to the platform, and there are plenty more people that I should vote their content for if I would like to earn witness votes that way.
TL;DR: Voting for me as a witness is irrelevant.
(by the way, I just set wise.vote rules for @elsiekjay, feel free to help her finding relevant content)
I dont think you got my point. It doesnt matter if it is a lie or not. I could have drawn whatever conclusion i wanted from the stats. As i did... Maybe i try it again?
Maybe you vote them because you still havent secured their vote?
I know what you do for the platform, ive been here long enough..
My point is that you probably shouldnt pass judgement simply based on a few stats online..
When you do that as a top witness you attract attention seekers and generally toxic individuals that are looking for targets and everyone ends up having a bad time.
And im glad youre giving Elsie a chance. Shes one of the good ones. ;)
It was a wow at pure amazement directed at the attempt to come to someone’s blog and ask for them to put you on auto voter or give you delegation as you feel you deserve it. Good for you for your self confidence I guess. For the record.. there is nothing wrong with an account sitting at 100% SP.. and gtg is one of the only larger accounts that still manually curates.
Why are you so bitter?o.O
It seems like you like picking fights all over.
First of all, my comment wasn't direct at you. You could have easily ignored but here we are.
2nd of all, I find No Shame in Asking for help, It's actually up to Gtg to decide if I deserve it or not, either way, I'd be good with either outcome.
3rdly,
I never said there was.
Stay on your lane next time. TIA.
I said wow, you asked for me to explain.. so I did. I was tagged in the above exchange, which is what brought me here. I’m not bitter and there is no lane to stay in. Have a good day 🙂
Sorry I just came along this conversation as SWM was tagged as well.. Its really sad to see this kind of disrespectful conversations in our community.
I am with you @llfarms on this one.. you got tagged so of course you have an opinion on it getting driven to this comment. Just as I landed here somehow.
Of course it is brave to ask @gtg something like this but seeing his answer showing your voting behavior @elsiekjay I seriously doubt you know how to use it better then he does for the community.
Nevertheless I think it is great @gtg is even considering this and maybe you can prove us wrong and learn to be a better curator changing your voting behavior according to his rules, which would be a great outcome for everybody.
No reason to pick on @llfarms though. I dont know your guys history here and I really dont want to know, but I know she's done A LOT for this community working hard, so show a little respect for that.
Cheers, Liz
Wow, great thing! How it goes using wise with GTG VP?

Hello there, @gtg!
I've seen you around, helping some people who were unjustly attacked...
I'd like to ask for your assistance recovering this this new user, who was flagged for no reason whatsoever.

He joined 3 months ago and he's already being attacked simply for reporting on sensitive topics. This way, Steem will be left behind.
Hello @trincowski :-)
Unfortunately I can't - physically can't - get involved in every story that goes around, especially that in order to make a fair judgement it would involve a lot of research for which I simply don't have time.
Quickly looking at first post of this user I see a lot of misinformation about Steem that I can't agree with.
Saying that flagged users are being robbed is absolutely ridiculous.
Stakeholders have every right to assign their reward shares as they like, whether it is up or down vote.
I really don't understand why people so easily accept "random" upvotes, and yet are so furious when it comes to "random" downvotes, even though downvotes barely exist platform wise.
And that is a lie.
Ability to post on the blockchain is one thing, and even a top witness could not block you from doing that. However, getting rewards is a completely different matter, and upvoting is all about getting rewards.
For instance, while I acknowledge that there are people who believe that the Earth is flat, and they are on Steem, I see no reason for upvoting them just because of diversity or because they were "falsely" flagged.
Upvotes and downvotes are subjective, and from the perspective of voter there's no such thing as "falsely".
Ok, but in that case, Steem is a perfect Troll Magnet for rich kids.
And if that's so... then, once next Bull Market comes, many of us who were investing in Steem for the long term will take the chance to get our money back and won't be investing another cent in this network. I know I will.
I was buying Steem every month and I stopped doing that 4 months ago because of these kindergarten fights.
If the top witnesses are OK with all the senseless bullying that goes around... then it's obvious to me that this platform has little to no chance of surviving, even with all the amazing Developers who are giving sweat and blood for this Blockchain.
It's not smart, from an investor point of view, to keep planting crops in a land full of moles.
If the moles stay... then I'll go elsewhere and I'll take my money with me. I'll look for more fertile ground. And I know for a fact I'm not alone on this. Many are simply afraid of speaking out. But you'll understand that, once you see the number of Power Downs that will be triggered once Steem goes a bit higher.
I came here thinking this would be a better place than Facebook or Twitter, and in many ways, it is... but if the Top Witnesses don't care about their investment, why should we? This starts to feel like a Ponzi Scheme to me, where a few whales lure in new users, get them to buy Steem and then destroy their accounts. What a disappointment.
Also, I was really working on my blog, trying to get as much quality as possible... but now, I'm not trying so hard. And I'll start trying even less. I'll just milk the rewards pool with the least effort possible, if that's what you Top Witnesses want.
Sorry for the long rant, but it pains me to invest so much money, time and effort in a place and see that the top players can't care less about what happens to it.
I'm NOT OK with bullying and you should already know that.
I simply disagree with that author's view on Steem and refuse to upvote it. Is that really a reason for this tirade directed at me or other witnesses?
Being a witness, is in this case, is not relevant at all.
I think this user having his entire blog flagged is a case of bullying.
He wasn't flagged because someone else disagreed with his content, he was flagged simply because people who are involved in a flag war resteemed his article... and a lot of authors these people resteem end up flagged, as collateral damage.
In fact, let me give you a few more examples of people who were flagged for the same reason:
To me, that is nothing but bullying.
Why do I direct this rant to Witnesses? Because I realise now that some of the witnesses are directly involved in this abuse of flags... and most of the others are seeing it happening for months now, and they say nothing or do nothing to stop it.
This is the reason all of these witnesses lost my vote recently:
@gtg I got notified of the mention here and would like to thank @trincowski for his consideration.
I believe the problem is serious with a small group of users, I think they're the same user with multiple accounts and no proper contribution of any value to the system here.
That user mentioned initially here whom you checked his post and disapprove his views, I believe he wrote so out of frustration.
Here's an example of what happened when I got flagged by the same user bot with his multiple accounts because that user targets someone who resteemed my resteem of @ahmedsy post which got flagged then when I wrote a separate post about it, my post got flagged by the same user's different accounts. You can see the other users getting flagged for whatever they write evn their comments get flagged by the bots users - main user name I guess is 'berniesanders'.
I had to ask that user who resteemed my post to not resteem any of my posts because he's under attack by the bots.

Thank you, yes that's exactly what happened and I don't even know what those people wanted until I saw your post you quoted above about my post which got flagged.

Interesting post!
A long term goal of mine is to set up a Witness server as well. lol, tho its a log ways off for me at this time... for not its just slow going. I do enjoy however reading about others who are Witness's and what they are doing.
Keep up the good work and I hope one day we can Witness together! YEA~
