Please send me your debug.log files from the BSV and BCH stress tests

I'd like to do some analysis of block propagation and block validation performance during the stress test, and I need some data. Can you give me yours?

Specifically, I need ~/.bitcoin/debug.log files from as many different nodes as possible. II will be analyzing both BSV and BCH blockchains.

Just sending me a link to your debug.log file is sufficient. But if you want to help me out a little more, I would appreciate it if you can rename the files so that they include your node's IP address or another unique identifier of your choice, like so:

debug-85.230.89.116.log meta-85.230.89.116.txt 

or

debug-jtoomim-moseslake-busv.log meta-jtoomim-moseslake-bu.txt 

The meta files are for any human-readable information you want to include about your nodes, like

1. CPU type
2. RAM
3. SSD? HDD?
4. Location
5. Bandwidth
6. VPS or dedicated
7. dbcache setting
8. Whether ntpd or another clock sync method was correctly configured during the test
9. IP address (if you're willing to share it publicly)

To check your system clock, you can use timedatectl status (Ubuntu) or ntpdate -q pool.ntp.org (most linux distros). My analysis depends on relatively accurate timestamps, so this is by far the most useful piece of information for me.

If you have any other data that you've collected, such as CPU usage statistics or bandwidth monitoring data, feel free to give me a link for that as well.

If you want to not post any of this publicly, you may email me at jATtoomDOTim and tell me which (meta-)data you want me to not repeat without permission.

If anyone else wants to look through this data, let me know and I will put it all in a public repository somewhere.

The intent is to do an analysis similar to the one I did for the Sep 1st stress test. I believe /u/rinexc managed to log some stratum header information from SVPool, and we also saw 6 orphaned blocks from SVPool alone, plus quite a few from other pools, so I think there's going to be some interesting stuff to find here. I also have an analysis of an incomplete, early dataset here.

If your debug.log files are very large and you don't have a good way to get them to me, please message or email me with your ssh pubkey (ssh-keygen -t rsa; cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) and the file size, and I'll give you instructions on how to upload it to one of my servers.
