Guest Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) ABOUT THE RECENT ISSUES What they were and what we are doing about it During the past week, GateHub users have experienced different difficulties in using GateHub. The causes were several unrelated technical issues, though there were all related to the recent surge of user interest. In this post we would like to clarify these issues and what we are doing about them. But first, the most important thing: no funds have been lost or at risk. RIPPLE ISSUES What was the issue? Ripple has recently got a large amount of new users. The Ripple servers (rippled and Data API servers) that our wallet uses did not work as they should causing our wallet to not function properly. Trades were not submitted, orders could not be cancelled, transactions timed out. An issue in the rippled codebase caused slow responses from the servers under high load. Solving the issue We have deployed our own cluster of rippled servers and we are currently deploying new Data API services. GATEHUB PLATFORM ISSUES What was the issue? Our platform worked very slowly on May 10th because of the resource problems we had on our cloud provider. Solving the issue We have increased the resources and we do not expect this kind of problems any more. BITCOIN ISSUES What was the issue? Bitcoin network load has been at an all-time high and some transactions, even with high miner fees, take a very long time to get confirmed by the network, or fail to get confirmed at all. A small minority of transactions issued by GateHub have been affected. Solving the issue We have already improved our services to handle unconfirmed transactions more robustly, and will continue to improve them in the following days and weeks. Today we also cleared the backlog of unprocessed transactions. All missing transactions which were reported should be confirmed within an hour. SUPPORT ISSUES What is the issue? A lot of user support tickets are still unanswered. We got thousands of support tickets with only a few people working on support. Solving the issue We are working on better support solution including better support forms, auto replies on common problems and expanding our support team.

Guest Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks for the update, @gregor. There has been a bit of shade thrown on GateHub recently, but it's great to see your response to the issues at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand all concerns and we are really working long over hours to fight the problems. Thank you for your patience and trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Growing pains. I don't think Ripple expected this sort of acceleration. We all know of the sudden interest (and traffic, and subsequent problems). ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know of the sudden interest (and traffic, and subsequent problems). ? Most of the issue was due to poor tuning in the rippled software, you could say it was a bug. We did also see some service reductions due to the increased demand, but if we only had that, people wouldn't really have even noticed it. As it happens, our s1 cluster (which so many client-facing services use) was really badly impacted by the issue. That the issue first appeared on a weekend didn't help much either. I'm still surprised by how far off my "reasonable guess based on decades of experience" initial tuning for the send queue timing was. I think traffic between servers on the Ripple network is much, much burstier than the traffic on networks I've designed or maintained in the past. That lead my guess of sensible values to not be as sensible as I thought. And without that kind of organic load to provide behavior to observe, there was no way for me to know how far off I was.

gastownhero Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 gatehub also have problem in withdrawing fund to bank as well. it keeps saying "error tech path partial" what does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelKatz Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 A path partial error means the Ripple network processed the transaction but it didn't deliver any funds to the destination for some reason. If you have a transaction ID or some other information I can use to find the transaction, I can tell you more. It can be due to slippage if it's a cross-currency payment (where the rate changes in-between when you place the payment and when the network executes it). Trying again can help.

namini Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 @gastownhero Maybe not related to your issue but don't forget you cannot withdraw the wallet base reserve (20 XRP) + 5 XRP per trust line. https://ripple.com/build/reserves/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is relevant but I tried multiple times to send a payment of 1.02 BTC. I kept getting the "Path Partial Error". I then tried sending a payment of 1.01 and still kept getting the same error. It wasn't until I sent a payment of exactly 1 BTC that it succeeded.

I have had the same issue sending USD. It has been ongoing for close to a week now with multiple attempts, no response from gatehub ticket (surprise surprise).

They need to enable partial payments (send up to the amount you specify, so if there's not enough, send all). It's an API setting, which you can see in action on https://www.theworldexchange.net - if you send 1.02 but only have 1, it'll send that 1.
