# Mirrornet/Fakenet? Please refer to my previous posts if you are unfamiliar with what the Mirrornet/Fakenet is. I strongly recommend reading them before doing anything involving the Hive Mirrornet. I don’t want to repeat what was written, and some of the information may be obsolete since it relates to previous instances that ran a long time ago. However, you can still gain a better understanding of what it’s all about. - 2022-04-30 [Hive Mirrornet (a.k.a. Fakenet) is up and running!](/@gtg/hive-mirrornet-a-k-a-fakenet-is-up-and-running) - 2022-08-05 [Preparing Hive Mirrornet (a.k.a. fakenet) for the release candidate testing](/@gtg/preparing-hive-mirrornet-a-k-a-fakenet-for-the-release-candidate-testing-wip) - 2022-08-20 [Full Public Fake/Mirror API [WIP]](/@gtg/full-public-fake-mirror-api) - 2023-10-14 [Mirror, Mirror on the Hive](/@gtg/mirror-mirror-on-the-hive) # Breaking the mirror (reasonable efforts to keep it running) For simplicity and to save resources, etc., I’m not providing high availability for the mirror, but I try to keep it running most of the time. An old instance that was started in 2023 is shutting down right now. I’m keeping the old chain-id for simplicity (and because I like it). The skeleton key will also be the same. # Work in Progress As always, I’ll use this post for on-chain coordination of Mirrornet setup and related tasks. There’s a long way from starting with block conversion and initial deployment, to setting up witnesses, initiating the first production, and then adding required components. At the end of this route is a distributed set of mirror block producers and a fully functional, public fake/mirror API node. # Changelog - Current develop (equivalent to the upcoming `1.27.8` release) was used to create Mirrornet binaries - Mainnet block_log up to block `92500000` was “mirrored” - Initial replay of consensus node was created - Snapshot was created for quick deployment - Old mirrornet instance was shut down `2025-01-19T08:59:35.776093 p2p_plugin.cpp:199 handle_block ] Got 13 transactions on block 92406742 by gtg -- Block Time Offset: -223 ms` To be continued, stay tuned By the way, if you aren’t a developer or witness, and are close to being bored to death by this post, here’s an absolutely unrelated, random YouTube video featuring John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, and Hive.
