Good stuff
I'v sent a few months worth of VPS cost to your SPR wallet. Thank in advance, buddy. I didn't receive anything yet, guess it's still on its way. Thanks again! |

so far mine has 8 nodes connected, it runs on its own server : 94.23.23.194
Cool, mine is 5.35.253.206 Anybody who is serious about running a full node please tell me your IP. You should be ready to let it run atleast for a few months, so only tell me if you are serious.  ive added you to my nodelist :-) It immediately jumped to 58 connections, and I can now see you,  -----:/usr# spreadcoind getinfo

You should be ready to let it run atleast for a few months, so only tell me if you are serious. mine is running on one of my servers at OVH I run it on a HostEurope Root Server Silver BTW: I can't see your IP in my getpeerlist ... I guess if I can't see you in mine, you can't see me in yours, lol But I will keep looking. |

I'm just thinking about which VPS provider to switch to. Have been using AWS for ages. I'm very familiar with it...for a semi-techie like me, familiarity is a big deal. Once I've chosen a provider I'll set up a full node. Nice, thanks for your help. |

Just synced up, and I can only see 7 connections.
Wait a few hours... mine still keeps slowly increasing.... 57 now. spreadcoind getinfo

I have no idea how many spreadcoin wallets there are worldwide? Any guesses?  I like the numbers I am seeing. |

I am gonna release a new updated wallet soon, with new DNS seed, and updated list of seed nodes,
and new alert key.
So, who here is running a full spreadcoin node?
And how many connections do you on average get?
Mine has about 50 connections ATM.
I'm happy to run a full SPR node. How do I do it? 1) You need a server with static IP (D'uh) 2) Using your servers terminal (SSH) build (and install) the "headless" spreadcoin daemon as described here: https://github.com/spreadcoin/spreadcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md(this will take a while) 3) Now you can start spreadcoin by typing: (append the & at the end, so that your terminal window isn't blocked...) It will take a while to make first connections and sync, but nothing compared to bitcoin, lol. Now you can keep refreshing spreadcoind to get new information about its progress with this: Once it is fully synched, and you see that it has lots of connections, tell me your IP and I will include you on my list. Mine looks like this ATM: ~# spreadcoind getinfo
{
"version" : 91504,
"protocolversion" : 70019,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 380459,
"timeoffset" : 0,
"connections" : 50,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 16.17220056,
"networkhashps" : 1023057409,
"moneysupply" : 2547793.12498166,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1430672087,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00001000,
"errors" : ""
} PS: If you are not logged in as root user, you need to prepend the word "sudo" in front of every command you type. |

The maximum number of service nodes at the moment is ~880 based on a coin supply of ~2,540,000. This means that number 1 wallet would be able to run ~68 service nodes ( without worry about being dropped by the spread. Interesting stuff. 68 full service/bitcoin nodes. That would be a serious commitment to bandwidth bills Interesting, what is the calculation that you made to come up with 68? |

Let me get this straight, we could have 2,000 Bitcoin Full nodes within 12 months?
up to 3,000-4,000 within 5 years?
Not bad targets to set.
Yes, this curve has a very appealing development over the next 10 years. Also, during this time the growth of limited number of SN will allow for an extra servicenode to be installed every 1-2 days for many years to come, keeping it newcomer-friendly every day. As long as my nodes stay within the spread I'm happy Exactly. Happy like a pig in mud... stay deep within the mud (er, I mean spread) and everything will be fine.  |

I just realised that the bitcoin nodes aren't going to work. If you use 2 ips for one servicenode will you need to download two BBs (bitcoin blockchains)? Because if not, the nodes can just point the incoming connection to a different node and they will never need to download the BB.
Actually there probably is a way.
We don't need to check if your servicenode has downloaded the BB, but if it is answering external search queries about the content of the BB correctly. So even if you have 10 IPs that are connected to same BB, that is not a problem, in the contrary. If all 10 IPs answer queries and help spread the blockchain then you are helping decentralization, even if those 10 IPs are reading from the same blockchain in the background. (but you can't have two processes write to the blockchain at the same time, because it will be "locked" while one process is writing on it) More IPs potentially means more server units which means more people can connect to you. Anyway, this is all highly hypothetical. What I will try and solve is, how a server with 1 IP can be validated that it runs 1 bitcoin node on it. |

......not "create a platform for people to create things"... what do you even mean by that? A decentralized programming language? Sounds like ethereum to me! ... Actually, I was thinking more like a services App store. No need for a new programming language. Anyone can create a service provided they work on making it compatible to run on the network and servicenodes want to run it. But I guess that feature is way in the future. It is way in the future, because that would be way harder to secure/validate than a full bitcoin node, because with the full node we atleast know in advance what its behaviour is going to be and if it functions within parameters or not. But try and apply that to the infinite amounts of algorithms anybody can come up with? It's easy to automatically check the syntax of a code, but checking the semantics behind it? That's artificial intelligence territory.  |

The idea for servicenodes is to create a platform for people to create things. All I see right now is us helping an old, clunky (40gb) service that we already have survive. So I guess this is just for the money.
The idea behind servicenodes is to "decentralize everything", not "create a platform for people to create things"... what do you even mean by that? A decentralized programming language? Sounds like ethereum to me! I am thinking about decentralizing things that are now centralized ( or whose decentralization is under attack!) Helping the main force behind cryptocurrencies (bitcoin) getting more decentralized is well within those parameters. Creating a decentralized search engine is too. |

Spread the punishment. No but seriously, how are the bitcoin nodes going to be validated?
That's what we have to find out. And that's where the fame will come from, IF we find out. Cryptoland has a problem, who will find a solution? That's a recurring theme around these parts. So basically the only reason we're doing this is for publicity?
Ofcourse not. If we can't find a way to validate/secure this (or any future) service, then the service will simply not go public, and be put away into the "bad ideas basket". Then the next idea will be tried. I thought that would be obvious? |

so my bitcoin node finally synced after about 15 hours.
.bitcoin folder (blockchain etc) is 39 GByte big. (at Block 354914)
or 40095376 Bytes.
While I was at it, I also installed a full spreadcoin node which has now 40 connections with the network.
I will hardcode its IP into the wallet, should make the sync process faster.

If we are going to do this service, even if its on trial for 3, 6, 12, 600 months, I guess it should have a project name, like all big and important projects  Project Atlas, anyone? lol, and then maybe Kristov Atlas can be our speaksperson? But wait, there is an important distinction: Atlas had to carry the world on his shoulders as a punishment, but we are doing it voluntarily. So... That's why I start all projects with "spread the .... something" Spread some love once in a while, why not... Spread the nodes. |

I like the ideas that are jumping about, no shortage around here!
Can we just release a working SN network first, then add these extra layers as we go?
Absolutely, it's just that we can't have servicenodes without atleast 1 service running on them, or else we can't have scores/kicking etc.... And all points to this: The first service is going to be the running / supervision of a full bitcoin node. Stay tuned. |
