Bitcoin node Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: b!z on May 29, 2013, 11:22:02 AM I also have a month of unused VPS, and 1.5 months worth of VPN service. I'll leave them to expire ;)

VPN,IRC,some forum etc. For only 1.5 month? How that can be useful? Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: Atruk on May 29, 2013, 01:00:20 PM Bitcoin node Pretty good idea actually. The network could always use more full nodes and most VPS systems will be in data centers and positioned to be good peers, just don't use it to keep a wallet with actual coins. Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: ironcross360 on May 29, 2013, 01:21:50 PM give it to me.... or start a mining pool

If it gets successful, you can ask donations and run it for more time. Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS?

Thank you for helping to strengthen the network. It looks like it shouldn't be too long before it syncs up and starts giving back. 951e515bfc145d15a4ca0f975fbba26561b69983d30b82bb49d87440015414c5 Sent a small tip to your signature address. Keep it running and I might send more substantial coin your way later... Who knows maybe you should put up a quick web page on the server with a little bit about what you do in bitcoin with an address for donations to keep this honest node running in a data center.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I think you sent that tip to a wrong address (1LvidkzdhiZwjc2AfhwuQX3KH5w7EPwgne). I'll put up a web page soon. Great :) Only 12 connections? 18 now. It's still only a few hours old. Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: Atruk on May 30, 2013, 01:18:54 PM Thank you for helping to strengthen the network.

Also made a home page - http://198.50.215.67 Had to restart the client, connections are down to 9 atm. Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: jackjack on May 30, 2013, 04:04:39 PM That's insane how I like this kind of things: just a VPS, a Bitcoin node, a web page with connections count and blockchain size and I'm happy
Title: Re: What to do with an unused VPS? Post by: Atruk on May 30, 2013, 05:23:38 PM That's insane how I like this kind of things: just a VPS, a Bitcoin node, a web page with connections count and blockchain size and I'm happy I have some linode credits rotting, so I just installed bitcoind. Might put a page up too. Given the drop in the cost of VPS service relative to a single bitcoin, it might be worth reupping eventually... Disclaimer: Linode has a history of being hacked and Bitcoin users have lost a lot of money when Linode has been hacked. Don't keep any wallets on Linode if you like having coins.
