Algorand Node stopped syncing - v2.9.1

March 16, 2022

needs to be removed. This is the culprit.

should also be removed as the indexer v1 is completely outdated and will just slow down your node for no reason. I would actually remove everything except:

{
  "EndpointAddress": "0.0.0.0:8887",
  "DNSSecurityFlags": 0,
  "Archival": true
}

Newbie's question about ASA minting

February 21, 2022

There are two parts:

  1. Who creates the assets?
  2. How the asset is transferred to the person who found the password?

Part 1: Creation of the asset

If you know in advance the assets you will issue, just create them normally in advance and move them for part 2. If you don’t know in advance exactly the …

Can't build node from source

February 2, 2022

The suggested solution did not work for me. brew had the right symlinks. Besides, I have had this exact error in both my older Intel-based Mac and my new M1 Mac. Thus, I don’t think that this is specific to M1 Macs. It turned out that the problem was that the underlying gcc needed to be made aware of…

Concurrency and multiple calls in smart contracts

December 10, 2021

No, the contract itself is evaluated on the nodes so creating multiple would not provide redundancy or load balancing in the same way that multiple servers would. The transactions are, by nature, serialized, so there is really no concept of concurrent requests. Given 10 transactions that are sent t…

Aligning Algo Circulating Supply Metrics for Algorand Ecosystem

September 9, 2021

Lets have a good day, and not argue on how Algorand can be more decentralized… Just one improvement of your statement, what if there would be independent oversights over the proposals, and algo foundation would be one of them? Algo is #13 right now… Above LTC and BCH… Lets make the DOGE next target…

How many transactions are stored in 1 block?

July 13, 2021

A block contains at most 1,000,000 bytes of transactions. See go-algorand/consensus.go at f2a48c9813755ac794d415fbe73a06ef617759d3 · algorand/go-algorand · GitHub

Create and Manage a Non-Fungible ASA from the Command Line Using goal

June 4, 2021

Another explanation for the second issue is that you are using TestNet but are not synced yet. You can check if you’re synced by running goal node status -d .... The Sync Time should be 0.0s and the last committed block should match the one of algoexplorer.io (or testnet.algoexplorer.io depending on...

Reasons for the Max Supply of 10 billion Algo?

February 24, 2021

It’s all software, so it’s not set in stone in the same way that Bitcoin’s 21 million (well, actually 2,100,000,000,000,000 satoshis) isn’t set in stone. It ‘could’ be changed, but would it or will it - highly unlikely. It would be a very significant forking event and would invalidate the entire p…

Carbon footprint of Algorand

February 10, 2021

Since the estimation of the carbon foot print strictly depends on power generation scenarios and the degree of renewables sources, I would rather address another critical metrics: the specific finalized transacti…

Looking for pyteal functions of smart contract app

February 2, 2021

Yes, this is possible. You can use the indexer for that purpose. See the REST call there: indexer - Algorand Developer Portal

Generate Participation Key getting error txn validity period is greater than protocol max txn lifetime 1000

January 19, 2021

In addition to Tsachi’s excellent answer, please be very careful when using sudo to generate the participation key. When you run sudo goal account addpartkey ..., the partkey will be owned by the user root and will not be working properly if algod is run by a different user.

Serious lack of transparency and engagement of Algorand foundation

January 15, 2021

Hi @petew. Answers to your questions below. Question: What will be the long term incentives for relay nodes? Answer: The group sometimes referred to as the Relay Node Runners group, came into existence at mainnet launch and should correctly be referred to as Early Backers and Node Runners. This …

Does catch point saving make Algorand a centralized blockchain?

January 15, 2021

You’re discussing specific compiler toolchain issues, having nothing to do whatsoever with Algorand, nor nodes, nor consensus mechanisms.

An inquiry regarding storing medical records in algorand blockchain

January 11, 2021

On a technical side, you can store commitment to the data instead of the data. That is instead of storing data in the blockchain, you store SHA256(data || random) where random is a 256-bit random string. In an external database (in the allowed coun…

Recover my wallet from my wallet address private key

January 2, 2021

Hi @Thanos, Welcome to Algorand! I believe you should be able to follow the last steps in the post How to recover my wallet with 24 word mnemonic - #6 by fabrice.

Why do we need stateless and stateful contracts at the same time?

December 3, 2020

We are always looking for ways to improve smart contracts. One of our primary design goals for any feature we add is to maintain or improve throughput, which currently is 1000 tx/sec with transaction finality of fewer than five seconds.

How to recover my wallet with 24 word mnemonic

November 25, 2020

Coinomi is not using Algorand 25-word mnemonics. It is instead using their own version of BIP39.

Is your node started? You need to run goal node start first.

Node synchronization time

Hi @rmb, Just a small remark complementing @tsachi’s great response:

Read the blockchain

July 1, 2020

You can call the indexer API directly ( https://developer.algorand.org/docs/reference/rest-apis/indexer/) or use one of the SDKs which support it.
