Two ports left open after ruinning tests about amoveo

[zack-bitcoin]

Thank you for realing that the ports arent being closed.

I think this test is failing because it uses sleep instead of reacting to return values or callbacks.
Sleeps don't work on different computers because different computers need to sleep different amounts of time.

Either we need to fiX the commands to avoid sleeps, or we need to increase the amount of time it sleeps so that the test passes on more computers.

Or maybe test_market should only be run on servers that will actually be running a market. No reason to test unused code.

Good
When i run in production mode, and begin a sync, the program downloads 100 blocks first.
When I start mining another 56 blocks are created, for which the mining reward is added to the balance.

Is this the correct behavior of the program. I left it running over night, and when I came back to it, I had mined a few hundred blocks. However when I stop and clean the program, it restarted from block 156 again, and reset the balance.

Is the production mode acting as a stand alone node with the server, ( ie no interaction with other people testing the software.)

[damoCl]

Also, what procedure is used to mine the blocks?

[zack-bitcoin]

To mine blocks:

mine:start()

You are right, only 100 blocks are being downloaded at a time. This is a problem.
Also it can't seem to share past 156 or so.

[zack-bitcoin]

The problem with sharing blocks is fixed in the newer version of the code.

I made some changes that may have fixed the problem that @damoCl found.
Do the tests still fail on @damoCl 's computer?

Would you mind sharing the log files if there are still errors?
/_build/dev1/rel/ae_core/log/crash.log
/_build/dev2/rel/ae_core/log/crash.log
/_build/dev3/rel/ae_core/log/crash.log

(remember to do git pull to download the new version of the code before running tests.)

Sorry, Zach, I upgraded the ameveo code, and have overwritten the crash logs. I'll back them up from now, in future.

Another issue I have found, is that if I modify your code to run on a few more cores, by modifying the block.erl file, at around line 367, Cores=10 for example, the miner will quickly mine 5 or 10 blocks, and then stop mining.

[zack-bitcoin]

Thank you for noticing this mining problem.

[zack-bitcoin]

I don't think mining from the core software is very important.
We need to set up software for GPU mining and mining pools as soon as possible.
Once GPU mining is possible, no one will mine with the core software anyway.

For now I will close this issue. feel free to open another.
