Strange hangup of a yield generator in a strange state

[kristapsk]

My yield generator wasn't giving any output to a log file for a few days. Decided to restart it, just in case, and it turns out it has hanged up in a strange state (potentially sensitive information edited out).

done

Notice that few days old log message was printed and written to log only after I hit Ctrl+C today.

Was running commit 35081843cca2290574ae19d1c47a0482bf3b2f18.

Just to add here without deeper investigation: that broken pipe was a connection problem to the bitcoind rpc, problem probably in jsonrpc.py

Hi,

I am having the same issue since the last version (0.6.2) but what I realized is that after it says "Lost IRC, should reconnect" even if it says "joined" if I check my offer does not appear https://joinmarket.me/ob/.

I think this is the reason why there is less offers than normal.

@Tracachang , no, that's ok, not related with this issue.

Web orderbook has known bug that it sometimes lose some offers. Should not impact possibility of your yield generator to participate in coinjoin, as taker always issues !orderbook command to ask for orders at startup, it does not rely on third parties.

Also, you can always start fresh copy of web orderbook locally, by running scripts/obwatch/ob-watcher.py.

Thanks a lot @kristapsk for the explanation

@kristapsk is there anything actionable here, or reproducible? I'm closing on the assumption, not. The 'attempting reconnect' thing is normal.
