Hi All,
If you've been on the NFT Explorer site recently, you might have noticed that there's a new red banner warning that the site is out of date - this is because sell orders were not being shown on the site correctly as kindly pointed out by Jux of @risingstargame.
Due to the way the site works, and the fact that this data was missed in the current version, it has to go through the entire Hive Engine history again. You might remember that I said I can get this done within half a day when running it locally, but that's because I have a custom cache (Blockflock) running, which can send hive engine blocks across in 3ms as compared to the 60+ms it takes when using a standard hive engine node. Because of this, the service will likely take 1-2 weeks to be back to fully up to date. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Why not just run the caching software on the server?
The server it is running on is not beefy enough to run both the caching service (which eats around 64gb of ram, as well as a bunch of CPU time/cores and needs very fast disk to be effective) and the explorer parsing software at the same time. I'm hoping this should be the only time I will need to do a full resync so there wouldn't be that much upside either.
Thanks for reading, have a great day! CA
