Yes, I have seen that on dark forum too. But it is running nodes in EC2 cluster. I dont want to run them in cloud. Second, it is a guide how to run it on 5 public static addresses. I have one public address (for now). If I need few addresses, I shall get them from local ISP since I know the owner, at zero cost. But not everyone can get static public address at zero cost. Consider in my country it can cost from 5 to even 20 euro per address per month. Other than that, I can hos it on several PCs at work (they are all mine, I don't work in some public service, I work in my own company). And I host one at home and one at work since xnode story started. But I would like to try to host it on my home pc in few virtual instances. Is it possible or not? I think not, but had to ask.
Thanks for adding some information. I'm not really tech savy so only thing I can do is repeat/link old information. If you think you know how to do this and could put this information in words/screenshots for newbie's that would be great. You should definitely make a new thread on XCtalk.com |

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

the number of Xnodes or the amount of coins? Thanks.
I don't really get your question. The amount needed for a XNode is 550 XCurrency. Making this more doesn't influence the XNode. Making it less would mean it would not work (i guess). So to answer your question as perceived; You should first get as MANY coins as you can get. Your number of XNodes will increase with it  Thanks. However the point was not about the limits but the potential profit, let me paraphrase it like this: "Which is more profitable - one xnode with 5500 XC or ten xnodes with 550 each?". Hope that now the question makes more sense  |

Hope that now the question makes more sense Like I said; The amount needed for a XNode is 550 XCurrency. Making this more doesn't influence (eq. profitability) the XNode. Making it less would mean it would not work (i guess). I could be wrong here, just wait for someone to confirm. But as I see it 10 XNodes with 550 XCurrency make more MONEYZZ then one with 5500 |

My wallet (OS X v0.9.2.40XCurrency-2.42) is still syncing (more than one hour)  Could be an issue on localhost or in the OS X latest version? |

Now it is synced. I guess it's was / is a localhost storage issue. What do you mean by as much information as possible? My SSN, religion, karma, alien abductions' count!? I've provided all the available information. |

What's your current count? Don't know, the memory of each abductee is systematically zeroed. But you can always ask agent Mulder. |

Thanks for adding some information. I'm not really tech savy so only thing I can do is repeat/link old information. If you think you know how to do this and could put this information in words/screenshots for newbie's that would be great. You should definitely make a new thread on XCtalk.com I can't make a guide, since it seems only way to host few xnodes is to have public IP per node. It is not XC problem, it is the same with all crypto. I am not a programmer, so I don't know why one wallet could not use few ports to listen, instead of one. As I said, I can buy 200 euro PC, install ubuntu or CentOS, make virtual instances, give every instance public IP, and voila, I have few xnodes running on same PC. But as I said, I can host PC for free at ISP. So I can get as many xnodes as I want with 200-250 euro investment. Point is can we make all ppl have the same, without having to pay someone hosting? It only takes xnode client to listen on 10 ports, and you can have 10 nodes on local PC (assuming it is powerful enough)? As I see it ec2 one m3.medium from guide cost 50$ per month for 24x7 runingtime. And you get 5 xnodes for that price. It is not bad, but till payments start to arrive, I would prefer free xnodes, as many as I can get. I assume all would. Not to mention with local hosting, my wallet is mine only. With amazon hosting, well, I have to trust them with my money. Well I don't. If my coins disappear from amazon cluster, they will say "ooops, we are very sorry, we are sorry almost like Mark Karpeles is". |

My wallet (OS X v0.9.2.40XCurrency-2.42) is still syncing (more than one hour) Could be an issue on localhost or in the OS X latest version? Maybe something related to your connection, it sync's fine with other people so it's mostly not an error on the wallet program itself. |

RFC for documentationIsn't is better if we use repository and decent docs' format (for example bitbucket and readthedocs) like most software projects (for example http://docs.python-requests.org/en/v2.0-0/)? If the community approves this idea I can take care of this task.

When is XC going to use a brainwallet? Using wallet.dat file if we know we can have a brainwallet is like writing paper manual letter, while you know you can write an email... And the comparison is for purpose: if you have brainwallet, ereasing file or missing/breaking a device does not mean loosing money. So the same is with email vs paper letter. If you make a mistake on paper - you lost your previous work, and write another one. Doing this on a computer makes it easy to change and saves your work  |

True, at least until the bottle with vodka is drained. |

I think I get what you’re saying…
Remembering an endless alphanumeric key is like writing an email where you can easily make a backup of your wallet (e.g. by telling it to your friends). On the other hand having a wallet file which you can only make a backup of and put it on an usb-stick and put it in a safe is like writing with a stick in the sand. Also you’re implying that today is opposite day? Btw, if XC team will deliver a brainwallet, I think it would be best to do it along with free tin foil hat as additional security layer to prevent the gov from reading our unencrypted brain waves Jk’n ya, no offense.  |

I confirm that the wallet works fine on localhost (synced and managing transactions). It was definitely some issue with my machine (hardware most probably). |
