Transcoder Campaign: Chainflow Transcoder

Weekly Update - 1 September 2018

Welcome to this week’s Chainflow Livepeer Transcoder update. This week we stayed in active mode at #12 in the list of top 20 transcoders.

  • Current LPT Stake - 14818.11 LPT

  • Last Week’s LPT Stake - 12052.92 LPT

  • % change - 23% increase

My gratitude to everyone who has delegated their LPT and trust to me to date!

(You can join us by bonding your LPT here.)

Here’s a summary of last week’s activity -

  • This week we called all reward rounds. You can see them here.

  • I’m checking daily to make sure we do. I had to call a few rounds manually. The Tributary upgrade may have caused this.

  • Restarting the Livepeer command fixed the issue. We’ve started calling rounds automatically since then.

  • It feels like competition’s increasing. I increased Fee Share from 25% to 35% to remain competitive. I realize this is a somewhat superficial increase, since we haven’t received fees yet.

Here’s my short-list of near-term to-do’s -

  • Figure out why we’re not receiving fees.

  • Run Livepeer as a systemd service.

  • Continue working my way through this very beneficial Livepeer DevOps post.

  • Studying the Supermax stats.

  • Thinking about monitoring solutions.

  • Keep an eye on transcoding tests the Livepeer team is running.

Catch you next week. If you have any questions in the meantime, add a comment here or catch me in the Chainflow Livepeer Transcoder Telegram channel.
