VPN PrototypeThe Current distributed VPN prototype is meant to showcase the functionality of the blockchain based bandwidth protocols. This prototype is in no way more secure than your conventional VPN client.
Now the work towards privacy begins. TOR Entry nodes will be the first provable truly anon use case for the VPN as the TOR Entry nodes need to run the same check-summed docker version in order to be a service provider on the network thus proving to user that all traffic is being routed directly to TOR.
This feature also gives exit node providers immunity as they will then become an entry node to a layer-2 network.
From the middle of next week there will be some major releases and a rebrand.
Completion of Sentinel 'TestDrop'Sentinel has conducted a successful 'TestDrop' where over 900 tested the Sentinel VPN MVP and provided feedback via a Telegram bot @sentinelsupportbot.
Sentinel is one of the view ERC20 Standard tokens that utilises the Ethereum chain for the purpose of non-fungible data input and validation. In this instance Sentinel has used it for the validation of the data transmitted between the service provider (exit node) and the user.
The consensus responsibility required to validate the data at point of measurement is bestowed to the 'Services Chain Payment Gateway' masternode system.
Sentinel has invented a new type of masternodehttps://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel/tree/master/master-node-dockerThis masternode system is currently centralized and dependent on one server hosted by the developers for testing purposes. During the TestDrop there was a complete overload of the network to the point that it has not experienced before. There were over 75 active user sessions at one point which the centrally hosted masternode server was not prepared for. This led to loss in key user functions for a period of time.
The masternode system will be made partially decentralized in the 0.0.4 update as trusted community members will be able to run the masternode on the TestSENT rinkeyby chain in order to introduce layers of redundancy provision and further efforts towards a consensus validation.
The end goal of this sequence of actions is of course to decentralize the masternode system completely.
CryptoMisoSentinel is currently ranked number 65 amongst all coins in terms of the code output in the last 6 months.
https://cryptomiso.com/months_6.html#SENTThis is the ranking that matters more than market cap or price and this ranking will only improve. This is the commitment the team has to those who believe in them.
-------------------------------
TeamThe teams sole focus is to output over 300 hours of dev work per week at a minimum and this number will only grow. Keep watching the github and see the new contributors.
Sentinel will be represented at a renown public event in early May.
Soon the prototype version of Sentrix will be launched.
0.0.4 will include retail swap systems allowing for users to convert ETH/ZRX/OMG/GNT into SENT directly through the Sentinel 0.0.4 wallet by the means of a centralized swap (max swap value $50 - meant for VPN usage).
More news on mixer and ERC20 autonomous Swaps coming soon.
