Bitcoin Forum

as per title, have 2 vps, unused, ideas for what i should do with it???

both have been paid up for the year so no time frame with them ;)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218411.0

Long story short:
Tor node
Bitcoin node

which would be better of the two, or should i run one on each.... any basic guides anwhere?

My suggestion in the other thread.
Setup a "Hack this site" challenge: store a BTC private key on there, first one to the key wins the coins.

Or, if you're not that tech. inclined, do a puzzle based version: numerous puzzles on each page which gives you a couple of characters from a private key. Solve them all and get the coins.

Other than that, I vote a Tor node.

Host porn on it

You can run both on each, provided they have the resources.

Tor exit node - this is the IP servers see when someone uses Tor
Tor obfsproxy bridge - needed for users in China where the GFC blocks Tor altogether
i2p node - i2p is like Tor if it only had hidden services.
freenet node - freenet is a distributed datastore - everyone stores some of the data (encrypted)

my bad, just double checked... the are dedicated servers linux. 8 core 3.5ghz with 16gb ram and 2x1500gb space running centos6 and plesk

Wow :o

Get as much as a refund as you can

dont need a refund as was given to me as part of a business deal against some stock i was carrying ;) owes me about £5  ;D

Oh, wow. Nice specs.

Please run everything I just listed on each, and give freenet a few terabytes. You can also run a full Bitcoin node on each.

After that, you'll have enough processing power left over to host some VPNs, which you can charge for.

Deja vu!

ok, how would i go about doing that? i normally pay people to do this kinda shit for me ;-)

Tor: https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en
Freenet and i2p installers are .jar, straightforward installation. Reference: http://wdnec.com/uncategorized/how-to-install-i2p-server-on-centos-linux/

During Freenet setup you can choose the amount of space. "As much as possible" is appreciated.

hey! you are not the real nimda! i am!

i'm trying to start a bitcoin search engine and better bureau agency. i would like to rent space on one.

pm me mate

i would, but you never replied, so i went ahead and signed up for a hosting account with namecheap

How much do you think one of those would normally cost per month?

no idea, am guessin its not cheap lol

i've had the name on coinchat for along time. kudos on the cool name

how much do you want for hosting?

make me an offer  ;D

I do, but this one has much better specs. ;)

Pretty valid reason!

I'll buy both for a two shillings.

You can give them to me. I'll find a use for them.

I would not sell it for any less then 200 a month if a true dedicated server.
