Legacy dcr.farm not available

[xaur]

https://dcr.farm/api/v2/stats now redirects to https://vsp.dcr.farm/ . Last time it responded on 2021-06-11 07:25:44 and had 40 live tickets, according to the gsd endpoint. The vsp page also says it was last updated 11 days ago.

In such state, I think it should be delisted and its removal is already included in #145. But I'd also like to hear from @infertux:

1. Are your legacy dcrstakepool wallets still up? Do you plan to keep them up until all tickets vote?
2. The redirect has side effects. Users can't login to check their tickets or backup the redeem script. And we can't monitor the live ticket count. Was such implementation intended?

Following the discussion and recommendations in the Matrix Pos Ops channel, I shut down the web interface to prevent Decrediton users to buy new tickets.

Are your legacy dcrstakepool wallets still up? Do you plan to keep them up until all tickets vote?

Yes the wallets are still up and I do plan to keep them up until all tickets vote.

$ dcrctl --wallet getstakeinfo | jq '.live'
32

Right now it's down to 32 live tickets.

Was such implementation intended?

Yes my understanding is that we should shut down dcrstakepool at this point.

I think it should be delisted and its removal is already included in #145

Please go ahead and delist it.

Thanks for quick reply! Great status page (it reminds me how I miss charts.dcr.farm :sad_face:). Let's close this issue when #145 is merged.

I miss charts.dcr.farm :sad_face:

Maybe I should write up a proposal to bring it back and make it sustainable...

#145 is now merged and the legacy dcr.farm VSP is removed from the VSP list. Closing this issue.

The status page shows that one legacy wallet is still up, thanks for keeping it up. @infertux if you can share its live ticket count it would help our statistics on user migration to vspd.

Maybe I should write up a proposal to bring it back and make it sustainable...

Not a bad idea. Organizing a proposal takes a bunch of hours and there is no guarantee it will pass, but the most recent "non-core" dev Twitter bot proposal passing was a good signal. Another funding route is to contribute similar functionality to dcrdata (escaping to avoid linking: https://github.com/decred/dcrdata/issues/1214 and https://github.com/decred/dcrdata/issues/1506). Or dcrextdata. In any case, those charts were useful and I would love to have them back one way or another.

I'm getting off-topic to this issue but feel free to join our #services chat to discuss further.
