NuLagoon’s NuBot on hitBTC seems to have failed. I’ve seen no orders for some time.
Currently there’s only my orders (all on buy side; sell side has been eradicated).
Yes. It quit again. NuBot seems a little bit unstable. Maybe it’s because the memory of our VPS is completely consumed now. We will be trying to fix the problem today.
Do you run the Nu client on the same machine? I have nud and NuBot running on the same RaspberryPi 2.
The 1 GB RAM of the RaPi is largely consumed by nud, but NuBot requires only little RAM.
However, NuBot does require some CPU power from time to time.
Here’s a part of a top output from my RaPi:
top -p $(pgrep -d',' "java|nud")
[...]
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2943 pi 20 0 325m 60m 5336 S 100.7 6.2 730:54.99 java
11455 pi 20 0 727m 593m 34m S 37.9 60.9 2596:16 nud
32186 pi 20 0 310m 22m 2428 S 0.0 2.4 51:23.94 java
As you can see, NuBot requires approximately 62+24 MB RAM, nud approximately seven times that RAM (609 MB), but most of the CPU load gets created by java.
I recognized that the CPU load created by NuBot varies by order of magnitude. I’m not sure what’s causing that extraordinarily high load from time to time, but very often the CPU load is like this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
11455 pi 20 0 727m 592m 34m S 35.2 60.9 2618:28 nud
2943 pi 20 0 325m 72m 5332 S 1.0 7.5 764:06.23 java
32186 pi 20 0 310m 22m 2428 S 0.0 2.4 51:24.18 java
Maybe your VPS makes trouble in times of spiking CPU load?
Can you order VPS upgrades that guarantee a minimum amount of CPU power?
I understand that running NuBot on a VPS is much more comfortable (uptime, backups, reliability) than running it on a physical device.
But I wouldn’t trust a VPS with the API credentials of an exchange nor the private key of a custodian address. For that reason running NuBot and nud on a VPS is no option for me.
Dear NuBits enthusiasts!
