An what does this SpreadCoin VPS Node accomplish ?

Anything a normal node can't do ?
Well, it is on 24/7 and it has a lot of bandwidth. I guess they are the main benefits.
Theres also the fact that you don't need to leave your own computer on all the time, which could be a fire hazard.

Lol ok then but it seems pretty pointless though.

You do know computers are designed to be always on right.... In the past 25 years of dealing with PC's I haven't had one ever catch fire or overheat unless it was a dust problem Cool

It won't be pointless when we have servicenodes, which will require significant CPU power (from what I've heard). You probably could just run one from your own house but I only have 200GB of data a month. Then I get slowed to 256kb/s. (more like 50kb/s)
I've heard you upload a lot of data to peers when you are a node and my uplod barely reaches 20kb/s. It took me 40 minutes to upload my 80mb youtube video. Smiley

Anyway, I'll be off to bed now, so I won't be able to talk much longer.

Significant CPU usage you mean, well that's not good at all, things are meant to be energy efficient, its like your basically saying "Yes we have servicenodes but you can't run them on a PC properly & will get kicked due to using too much resources and not performing well with score, you won't be able to do anything else on it so you run them on your rented VPS to secure your servicenode and score"

When I say significant power, iIm talking about when (hopefully) Spreadcoin gets popular. Because then we will have one masternode servicenode managing many peers and performing services and that is why they will have high CPU usage.

Right now they will use low amounts of CPU power.

Will you get stakes or a reward for being a servicenode ?

BTW that's some pretty slow internet upload lol I'm in Australia as well and my Telstra ISP plan is 500GB with Free speed-boost & a bonus 500GB for being a long term member totaling 1TB Download/Upload limit.

My max speed connection is 110+ Mbps Download & 2Mbps Upload.

All on Cable, no silly NBN or ADSL lol

I envy you.  Tongue

I actually got a 300GB bonus totaling 500GB combined upload and download.
You upload is faster than my download. Sad
I'm on ADSL. Not even ADSL 2+ but that is probably because I'm right on the edge of my suburb, near the ocean.

Edit: Oh, and yes, you will get rewards for being a servicenode. One servicenode per block will be picked to recieve 30% of the current block reward.

That's what usually happens with copper phone lines since ADSL & ADSL+2 both run off that ancient stuff, when water/moisture gets in the pits or the ISP exchange it causes all hell till they fix it.

A few weeks back some knob jockey cut through a main fibre optic line and cutoff all Telstra mobile, broadband & whoever rents Telstras lines & cables, I had to go buy a vodafone wifi usb stick to get me by for 3 days.

When growing up we had a 56K modem but could only connect at 28.8kbps max no matter what and had constant dropouts no-matter the ISP, we also had phone problems & still do with the home phone.

It is because the copper deteriorates & the signal weakens in layman's terms.

NBN is cheap but only good if you can get it in your area & that is unheard of where we are e1ghtSpace, I pay $140 a month and also get unlimited & free local, std, national, any mobile & international calls.

We also have a T-box in our household so anything we stream from Bigponds features and channels are free anyway, Pretty good if you want to get Presto and you get 6 months free Presto subscription with no upfront charges if you are already a Bigpond customer.

Phone problems?
Hmm. This probably won't help but if I plug my modem-router straight into the phone line the incoming calls are sometimes not connected. But if it goes through an adsl/phone line splitter, it works fine. I found out when I connected my modem into a wall socket and ran a 10m phone line into my room so I didn't use wi-fi and had less lag in games. My dad said he called home a dozen times and it only rang one of the times.

I have looked on the NBN map and places close to where I live are getting NBN. Mostly the new houses.

Just google Presto and Bigpond deal, its a good deal since its free streaming for Bigpond customers when used on your Bigpond ISP line or WIFI.

I think there is recommended specs as well for good performence e.g 10mbps ISP connection.

A few weeks back some knob joecky cut through a main fibre optic line and cutoff all Telstra mobile, broadband & whoever rents Telstras lines & cables, I had to go buy a vodafone wifi usb stick to get me by for 3 days.
Damn, that sucks. How do you know about this?
They really need to upgrade the cables and technology.

When growing up we had a 56K modem but could only connect at 28.8kbps max no matter what and had constant dropouts no-matter the ISP, we also had phone problems & still do with the home phone.

It is because the copper deteriorates & the signal weakens in layman's terms.
Phone problems?
Hmm. This probably won't help but if I plug my modem-router straight into the phone line the incoming calls are sometimes not connected. But if it goes through an adsl/phone line splitter, it works fine. I found out when I connected my modem into a wall socket and ran a 10m phone line into my room so I didn't use wi-fi and had less lag in games. My dad said he called home a dozen times and it only rang one of the times.

We also have a T-box in our household so anything we stream from Bigponds features and channels are free anyway, Pretty good if you want to get Presto and you get 6 months free Presto subscription with no upfront charges if you are already a Bigpond customer.
Really? How do you get it? I have a T-box and I saw the new Presto menu but I never looked into it.

Just google Presto and Bigpond deal, its a good deal since its free streaming for Bigpond customers when used on your Bigpond ISP line or WIFI.

I think there is recommended specs as well for good performence e.g 10mbps ISP connection.
Ok, well surprisingly I can still stream HD movies, but only when no one else is using the internet.

An what does this SpreadCoin VPS Node accomplish ?

Anything a normal node can't do ?
Well, it is on 24/7 and it has a lot of bandwidth. I guess they are the main benefits.
Theres also the fact that you don't need to leave your own computer on all the time, which could be a fire hazard.

Lol ok then but it seems pretty pointless though.

You do know computers are designed to be always on right.... In the past 25 year of dealing with PC's I haven't had one ever catch fire or overheat unless it was a dust problem Cool
It won't be pointless when we have servicenodes, which will require significant CPU power. (from what I've heard)

Significant CPU usage you mean, well that's not good at all, things are meant to be energy efficient, its like your basically saying "Yes we have servicenodes but you can't run them on a PC properly & will get kicked due to using too much resources and not performing well with score, you won't be able to do anything else on it so you run them on your rented VPS to secure your servicenode and score"
When I say significant power, iIm talking about when (hopefully) Spreadcoin gets popular. Because then we will have one masternode servicenode managing many peers and performing services and that is why they will have high CPU usage.

Right now they will use low amounts of CPU power.

Will you get stakes or a reward for being a servicenode ?

BTW that's some pretty slow internet upload lol I'm in Australia as well and my Telstra ISP plan is 500GB with Free speed-boost & a bonus 500GB for being a long term member totaling 1TB Download/Upload limit.

My max speed connection is 110+ Mbps Download & 2Mbps Upload.

All on Cable, no silly NBN or ADSL lol

silly nbn? ... hehehe ... i like that ...

unlimited download - unlimited upload - 100Mbps down - 30Mps up ... $90.00 AUD a month ...

yup - silly allright Wink ...

$90??? Mine is $120 for 200GB and $140 for 500GB.

Why does my internet really suck? Satallite is probably faster. Smiley

yup - thats the home link ... exetel from sydney but australiawide ... i have used exetel a while ago ( when bbs's were the rage and we had one that had 24 telstra dialup lines with exetel as the isp ) and started using them again via nbn for home ... IF you can get nbn ...

the office link cant get nbn ...

it has a cable connection ( similar to the one spoken about earlier - but that is telstra $130/month which gives us all the crap we dont need - like telephone number and foxtcra... i mean foxtel ) and two adsl connections - one from a different isp ( exetel and dodo ) each at $80/month ...

the two adsl are shared via a dual broadband router for office internet ( the router is a linksys rv082 but is now called a cisco rv082 - cisco bought out linksys ages ago ) - and the cable is a failover / dedicated miner link ...

the rebuild of the farm and each of the miners ( in the various locations ) will be routed ( tunneled ) through the cable link - that is until nbn becomes available in the area where the office is ... then we will drop cable altogether ...

i think if you want to have a reliable system - weigh up whether cable / nbn is available in your area - and if so - how much it will cost to break contract and reconnect with a better provider ...

thats what we have done - and havent looked back ... the only issues we get are the adsl links ... water / rain / boofheads cutting copper wires ... the usual crap that comes with telstra based services - as you have experienced ...

other than that - cable and nbn seem to be the fastest and the most reliable ... but not necessarily the cheapest ...

then again - movies / streaming is not a big thing with us so we concatenate the links mainly for data and mining and the accessibility to the farm and servers ...
