Technical bottleneck currently delaying Reddcoin system

Share this post:

Reddcoin management responded yesterday to questions about technical problems they have encountered in the recent launch of their ReddID. For anyone interested in all the prophetic insights showing Reddcoin increasing significantly in value, these comments provide some insights into why it’s taking so long.

[In reply to Aj]

I’d like to respond to this one specifically. Reddcoin Core is a group of unpaid volunteers. We do not have a salaried team with lots of coders and resources to pay top level talent. We are relying on the people that we have and the skills of the people who have offered and stepped forward and actually have something to contribute.

The root issue right now is that there is a technical bottleneck in the way our system is working. We have struggled to find a solution and are doing everything possible. Again, on our own time and our own sacrifice. Because we are trying to build something awesome and new and it’s hard. ?

A component called “socket.io” is dropping some connections while allowing others through perfectly. We have spent literally every minute of the days since launch tag-teaming the problem in investigate and trace the technical minutia to trace what’s causing the issues. As time zones pass, taking all of our free, family and social time, as well as distracting from day job commitments for some.

We have asked simply for users to be patient and to try reinstalling in the rare cases where it is actually a local Chrome refresh problem. The vast majority of use problems and the reason so many are seeing “disconnected” messages is exactly as I said above. The system will not allow more than approximately 1400 connections because something somewhere in the system is waiting for access to some specific file we’re having trouble isolating.

The more people struggle to connect, the more connection attempts there are , and the more congestion and wait time is generated. Until we can isolate the specific issue on the backend, and we are very close, it will continue to be hit or miss whether you can connect and tip. Think of it as a crowded parking lot with everyone trying to use one small exit.

However: all registrations and tips that are confirmed are securely in the Reddcoin blockchain and whether your extension shows it right now or not, your coins are safe. If all users could be a tiny bit patient as we continue the troubleshooting, which the help of a few amazing community members that have stepped up to help, we’ll have the system performed under the load as it should be VERY SOON.

We apologize for not keeping all better informed but frankly every member of the team has been putting in more than long hours, some of use have been struggling with some bad colds and other personal challenges, and all in all, we’re busting our asses to get it done and haven’t been able to keep getting the word out. We hope you all know that and we hope to be over these growing pains shortly.

Also, ANYONE who decides that they are unsatisfied with the ReddID system and that their RDD WAS “stolen” or otherwise doesn’t understand how this all works, I am personally more than happy to engage with you directly and work out something fair if you can prove your claims. But maybe you could wait a tiny bit until we’ve at least gone to version 1.0?
