[ANN] INTENSE COIN - Blockchain backed decentralized VPN - Hybrid PoW

[speedfire]

Something wrong with the pool: http://intensecoin.com/pool/#/ Please check!!!!

[valiant1]

Try running cmake with -DPORTABLE=1 -DWITH_AVX2=0

Did not help, the mistakes are the same.

Did you `rm -rf build` first, before running `cmake -DPORTABLE=1 -DWITH_AVX2=0 ..` ? Which version of cmake are you using? Please also try running cmake with `-DHAVE_SSE42 -msse4.2 `. If that doesn't work, open the Makefile and add those arguments like so:

previous:

Code:

build-release: cmake-release
        cd build/release && $(MAKE)

new:

Code:

build-release: cmake-release
        cd build/release && $(MAKE) -DHAVE_SSE42 -msse4.2

Sorry, it wasn't making new blocks for about an hour. The VPS it is hosted on seems to get cranky after 7-10 days and requires the daemon be restarted. It's running smoothly now.

will it work , I mean we already have VPNs, we pay for it, so why we invest in this COIN? , I just want a good logical answer

The VPNs most people use are purchased through centralized VPN companies. Most people don't want their activities, information and identity known by VPN companies. After all, most people use VPNs for anonymity. ITNS will offer a solution to this, and offer VPN anonymity because the endpoint of your VPN is not some large provider forced to keep records on clients. In most cases it will be a user at their house, or someone with dedicated or VPS hosting. We cut out the middleman of requiring a VPN company and instead make the VPN a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) process. Furthermore, the P2P mechanism allows users to generate revenue (in ITNS) for allowing others to use their connection, creating a consumer-driven marketplace.

Also consider that centralized VPN providers allow companies and countries to easily perform sweeping blocks toward IPs used by the VPN company. This defeats the purpose of using a VPN since the nodes are inaccessible. With a P2P decentralized VPN network, it's impossible to categorically ban IPs as being accessed for providing VPN services. Consider this in the context of China, NK and other countries banning VPN use. The potential of a distributed, decentralized, P2P VPN system is much greater in terms of broad accessibility than single centralized providers.

It sounds great, and VPN's on the blockchain are only inevitable, I also love the fact this is A. on Cryptonight and B. PoW...That being said, allowing people to be peer-to-peer VPN's is great and all, but doesn't that pose a risk if someone else is doing malicious activities on their end through you? So you essentially get PoS/Stake by allowing others to utilize your server/wallet/peer network but that also assumes some risk doesn't it? Also, I'm not happy to see a standard "cryptonight whitepaper" on the site, this project should have a detailed whitepaper of their own.

33 workers at the moment.

Now 43 workers and 50+ KH/s. Nice and stable too. C'mon guys, let's spread the mining power out. One pool with 90%+ of the network hashrate isn't good for anyone.

If a few you guys can confirm that this pool is paying out as it should and you receive the coins then we can add it to the OP this weekend.

Cheers

I'm about 1/5th of the pool's hashrate at the moment (kinda sad for a bunch of 7950 GPUs LOL) and I can confirm that I'm being paid exactly as I should be. Hope that helps.

Need to cmake .. from build dir, not cmake in the main src dir. Also please try only cmake with the new options first, before you modify the makefile.

Operating VPNs is indeed a risk, no way around that. We have plans for a whitepaper in our roadmap (October).

The OP has been updated. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2090765.msg20885571#msg20885571

We have added the following three Mining Pools:

Enjoy hashing! ^_^

Could you answer my question above:

what's the difference between this project and Tor except that Tor nodes are free for everyone and still are decentralised?

[hackg]

If the VPN can work and without major latency, slowing down the browser experience, then this project could defintiely have potential

The value of VPN is questionable when there is a corporate company you need to trust, that the govt can call into court demanding to see IP logs and records and such

If the VPN is decentralized though, there is nobody to subpoena into court

[Speedie]

Another aspect to consider with the VPN service is bandwidth control. General surfing / browsing via a VPN running through a connection is one thing, streaming 4K UHD movies is quite another. I think there needs to be something built into the product that allows a VPN provider to cap the bandwidth usage.

This...

A decentralized VPN service should be used for anonymous browsing not for streaming TV Shows/Movies from other countries.

I greatly appreciate you have a product and clear vision.

Who can sell for me 10k  intense coins for 10$?

[divedaucd]

Who can sell for me 10k  intense coins for 10$?

your $10 is so huge, bro. 

[ice2090]

i will sell u for 100$

[treanski]

im interested in this coin, but i dont understant how much value 1 intensecoin can have with the infinite supply?

with that mining speed/rewards its like endless inflation

can somebody explain?
