[ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN

[Grandpa Jones]

If there are flaws in the security can you please PM him to sort it out instead of posting it publicly for the people who know what they on about to exploit?

The flaws that my script is for are the first thing your typical script kiddie is going to have a script for. If you have something behind an IP, they are going to start with these basics. I'm not revealing anything about the security here that isn't assumed by an attacker before he even starts.

I'm glad it's getting looked at. My script might be for "intermediate users". It also is going save mp-hosting money on things like bandwidth and power if they adopt a couple of the changes.

ok so if we can all work together and come up with a better system for everyone i will give away a few master nodes  to them that help


thanks

The script posted by @GJones offers some good additional security features / settings for a linux vps, however users just running the script will most likely encounter some confusion if they run it, which probably isn't ideal for @pjcltd as a hosting provider though.

...

I've already posted a bunch of useful info. and I'm mostly interested in DNET purely from a network anonymity and privacy perspective.

Individual user security and/or third party service provision is not really of my concern.

Whilst most of the set-up procedure could be automated with a script, certain aspects of installing and running Masternode's on a VPS require some user knowledge and independent choice regarding security etc.,

For network diversity, Masternode operators should really choose to host multiple nodes with multiple service providers in different geographical locations, where possible.

Disabling Bash_History on a Linux Cloud VPS is normally a good idea, in terms of security.

Quick method to completely disable your own .bash_history, without reading any further:

Remove the file:

Clear your current history stored in RAM:

history -c

Change your settings:

I don't know its technical possibility but it'd be great if there was a scrypt like;

When I pay and buy the node,

and just enter the necessary variables (username, pw, privkey) through the website, select options tor/ip4 etc.

and the scrypt do the rest and build the dnet mnode

So it'd be very simple to build a mnode and almost anyone'd be able to build one.

Is that possible?

-----

And for the wallet part;

we'd just choose the transaction from coin control section and click build node and enter node ip,

a scrypt on wallet configures darknet.conf and masternode.conf automatically by generating priv key itself, and get the outputs from selected transaction and name alias same as wallet name.

---

So lots of mnodes'd be build easily. I know it's easy to say, and I don't know if it's too hard to do, I'm not the tech man

Yes this would be much easier.... probably need more hosts too can't have all the masternodes on one vps provider right?

Hey everyone. The new wallet v1.0.2.0 is up on https://github.com/Darknet-Crypto/Darknet/releases now for all of you self compilers. I am working to get the precompiled binaries up there now, they should all be available by the end of the day.

Changes include:
Fixed the block rewards, at block 86400 miners will get 175 DNET and Masternode will get 50 DNET, as was supposed to be the case starting at block 43200.
Added a checkpoint.
Changed Obfuscate to Obfuscation.
Fixed the time the final budget is submitted, it is now 2 days before the superblock.
Enabled Obfuscation by default, the new default is to keep 1000 DNET mixed with 8 rounds, there will be a very small transaction fee associated with this, we are talking like .0002 DNET. We need this in order for mixing to work at all.
Fixed the transifex URL, where users can contribute to translations.
Added seednodes, shouldn't need to add nodes in the darknet.conf anymore.
Along with a lot of cleanup of comments in the code.

This is a mandatory update, everyone will need to be on it by block 86400, the earlier the better. There is a function that enables only sending Masternode payments to updated Masternodes. If you run "spork show" you will see that the output for SPORK_10_MASTERNODE_PAY_UPDATED_NODES is 1458752907. That is about a week from today, I just changed it now, so that everyone will continue receiving Masternode payments as usual. If you haven't upgraded your Masternode wallet by then you will start to miss payments.

Is this the support thread for MP-Hosting ?   

- They are probably adding or updating their SSL cert. which looks Self_Signed currently https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate ...

Could everyone also only quote posts that are actually relevant to the current topic.


The developers of dnet announced an important upgrade to v1.0.2.0 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1262920.msg14218577#msg14218577 - which everyone might miss.
