Phantom nodes requires no static IP address, no copy of the blockchain, and no proof-of-service. As such, you can run a node on any IP address of your liking: 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 if you wish. The phantom daemon is extremely lightweight allowing you to run hundreds of nodes from a modest machine if you wished. And, possibly most importantly, you can move your currently running masternodes to phantom nodes without restarting since a real IP address is no longer a requirement. The phantom daemon is custom built wallet designed to replicate only what is required for pre-EVO masternodes to run; it replaces the masternode daemon piece. It does not handle any wallet private keys and has no access to your coins. You will still need a wallet to start your masternodes, but once started, the phatom node system will handle the rest for you.

Thanks! It's already a working solution and has gathered a few additional developers already. It's not it's own coin though, just a replacement daemon for masternode coins that is far, far, far more efficient.

looking at the code now, i might have a use for this... i have a buncha questions of course, but i feel like ill have most my answers once i read the docs so ill do that first (i already have a way i do this with my own masternodes privately, so im curious how you did it ) Nice work

Made phantoms easier to use to hot-swap masternodes more quickly for users who aren't worried about high availability. You can now use a coin configuration file and the unmodified masternode.conf from your coin of choice. And remember, phantoms are hot-swappable, you don't need to restart your MNs to move to phantom nodes -- the magic of being able to use any IP address you like. Coin confs for: are posted on the github. I'll add more as more people provide settings. best, break.

I have downloaded and set this up on a few coins to test it. LPC nodes keep going missing one node on MARC will not count up then goes missing. I pulled all of the config data for zealium NZL and have the counters running up but no rewards yet. Two of them used the old IP so they should be receiving. Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you using the latest version 0.0.4? For LPC and MARC, is active time increasing before it goes MISSING or is it just going to missing after a period of time? best, break

It looks like there's an issue with certain PIVX variants. The phantom daemon is working on them but something isn't quite right. I'm working on debugging it.

I got a chance to debug PIVX clients that were going missing. Apparently they use some double-broadcast ridiculousness to get into an ENABLED state. I'll release a patch shortly so you can issue a single broadcast and then run the phantom daemons.
If you want more technical details, they create a catch-22 scenario where a broadcast goes out, is marked as PRE_ENABLED but the code doesn't respect PRE_ENABLED. When the network tries to update, it rejects it because the masternode isn't ENABLED, but it can't get ENABLED until it accepts the update. I've got a work around that sends a broadcast that instantly goes to ENABLED and then everything works fine.
The downside, you'll need to run the broadcast command and then run the phantom daemon -- so it's two steps vs. one step for DASH -- but still easy.
Update should be coming in a day or two.
best, break

Hey, it seems like you are doing proper work on this container-- however I have heard there is some concern from Bittrex security regarding your tool's potential ability to spoof existing MNs. My understanding is that MN peer nodes don't validate a static IP of the MN set at the time of configuration. Trex security have apparently been lurking your discord and they are worried your tool can be modified to Sybil-attack MN networks for easy forking, vote manipulation, or double spend via Sybil-falsified instantsend quorum. Additionally some scanning of the Windows binary has revealed TrojanDropper.Dapato.zby which I'm hoping is a false positive. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/34d5553bca53dd84560f4779071bf5267bb9f1755d4b2dc4208f576d4a977ac8/analysis/1556570810/I apologize for having to edit my neutral post above to a warning but a lot of people follow blindly what I say and I didn't want to be responsible for any losses incurred by people testing your tool without full awareness of the risks.

There are no trojans in the binaries on git, that's for sure. But, of course, never take some rando's word for it, check the source and for the love of goodness, compile it yourself - the docker images make it super simple. Other than that, the phantom should NEVER require a collateralize private key, so if anyone suggests otherwise, don't trust them. I spent a lot of time on the architecture to make sure that private keys stayed in the wallet and private. best, break.

I created this UI over your phantom nodes so anyone can host their nodes for free with a few clicks. It works by adding a fresh TX ID or by uploading an existing masternode.conf file with already started nodes. https://phanode.com/Source code will be published after I polish it a bit. If it represents any interest, we can work on improving and extending the functionality.
