I'm looking how far it will achieve the goal of being in the top 100 cryptocurrencies. Good luck to the team!

Total Community Run Exit Nodes: 5

Wilmington
Frankfurt
Miami
Miami
Amsterdam

Thank you very much to everyone who has participated in the testnet so far! We hope that we can scale to 100 nodes in the coming weeks so that there can be proper stress tests and throughput analysis.

Devs have ensured that process to add a VPN exit node is extremely easy. It takes less than a minute and only two commands to do so.

Upcoming developments you can expect in the next few weeks

1) Increase in market education of exit node hosting capabilities resulting in an overall growth in number of user hosted exit nodes

2) Launch of Tendermint test chain and creation of a Tendermint 'SENT Utility Token' wallet

3) Feature to allow user-hosted exit nodes to set pricing

4) Intelligent node filtering features allowing for end-users to sort exit nodes by metrics such as latency, price etc.

5) Upgrade in end-user education activities, Sentinel Blog and other channels will go live

Current UI is bare skeleton meant for testing.

Here is a glimpse of the new UI design that will be implemented in coming weeks:

Proud to announce addition of over 10 new nodes taking total number up to 15!

List includes:

Wilmington
Frankfurt
Miami
Miami
Toronto
Amsterdam
Frankfurt
London
Amsterdam
New York
Clifton
Coquitlam
Amsterdam
London
Singapore
Moscow
Johannesburg

Total exit nodes are now at 17 - within a week! Great job community.

Will be more documentation on our relay network in the near future as well as the optional Exit Node TOR routing. These provisions are being created to provide additional anonymity and security to both the end-user as well as the user hosting the exit node.

Sentinel has acquired Chinese dedicated servers and is beginning to strategize on how to bring the freedom of an unrestricted Internet to the Chinese populace

Will be onboarding Chinese translators and community managers, marketing campaigns will begin the coming weeks.

Patrick Kim, the CEO/founder, gave a security lecture to blockchain developers at the Blockparty in Seoul yesterday. Imagine what the audience thought when Patrick shared his own story about getting hacked! Make sure what you build is safe. We're here to back you up ✊ security

Update

Alpha 0.0.3 will soon be launched including 'smart lists' function as well as Japanese language translation.

Sentinel is a 'Decentralized service chain allowing for facilitation of distributed services'. The VPN is the first proof of concept and is the first functional blockchain based peer to peer VPN out there.

Sentinel Has Been Mentioned in today's Cointelegraph Article

https://cointelegraph.com/news/malta-determined-to-become-the-blockchain-island-regulations-adoption-binance-headquarters

"These new interoperability entrants, by implementing solutions such as "Peggy" (Ethereum Peg Zone), could trigger the raise of a new kind of decentralized exchanges which can be based on, for example, the 0x protocol, allowing for not only token but also cross Blockchain value exchange.

Furthermore, in the near future, these exchanges could be done in a fully anonymous manner thanks to other interconnected privacy focused chains such as ZCash and its Zk-STARKs or Sentinel Security and its built-in coin mixer.

It is therefore unsurprising that one of the goals of Binance in Malta would be to develop its own decentralized exchange given their awareness of all the upcoming innovations and potential competitors."

How many SENT are required for one node? Is there a discord?

Any official team members?

Sentinel VPN Prototype Alpha 0.0.31 is now out

Ability for exit node to set their own price for bandwidth consumed (per GB)

New Map Interface

'Smart Lists' with ability to filter based on latency, price, bandwidth

Linux is fully stable and operational. Windows and Mac both require steps of adjustment from the user due to networking permission restrictions. Refer to guide. Github hosted download 0.0.31 installer links along with file checksum can be found here:

https://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel/releases

This is one of the first blockchain based systems that allows a user to monetize on their traffic on their own terms. More news will come on Sentinel SDK/APIs that will open up to 3rd party developers who wish to take advantage of the payment gateway architecture.
