Does Smb knows, whether this team has experience?

This is the info on OP:

Quote

We are a dedicated & passionate core team of 3 people.

Valiant, an academic PhD candidate and full stack developer with 13 years
experience in software engineering and a wide knowledge of C/C++, C#, web and
mobile development.

Alex, an innovative digital marketer (MBA) with 10 years of relevant knowledge
and 5 years of blochain/crypto related experience.

Lucio, a spirited media & graphic designer that creates outstanding visuals.

Also i think there will be an update on the 15th of this month, like in previous months, that might contain more information about the team. You might wanna stick around to check it Wink

It seems to be something wrong with exchange again.....

Sad

I'm not entirely sure of what is depicted in the screenshot but did you try contacting the support team?

This pool is unstable, I think, and some users are leaving it.
The ´Pending Balance´ don´t update, the payments are delayed for fell hours and the amount pay seems incorrect.
Are the pool admins on this forum?

Hello,

I am one of the admins for intensepool. We haven't had any recent issues other than with the payment script.

This is now resolved. All payments have been paid out within 3 hours of any issue being reported. Coins are usually paid out instantly once the mined block is mature.

Our pool luck is 97%. For such a small pool this is very good! There are absolutely no fees or hidden charges and the amount paid out is the amount mined.

I have worked with the Intensecoin Devs on setting this pool up and the configuration is almost identical to the official pool.

We are also working hard on creating a wiki page to help new miners get started: wiki.intensepool.net

And we have also created an app for the official slack to show pool statistics throughout the ITNS network:

If anyone had any suggestions or feedback feel free to PM me on the official slack @james.dawson

I can confirm that everything on itns.intensepool.net is running smoothly with frequent payouts and a steady hashrate. We own all of our own hardware and the servers are colocated in a datacenter very close to home that we have access to 24/7 incase of any serious issues.

We also have great Latency to all of the UK, Mainland Europe and the East coast of the US.

I like your pool and mining on it right now.
What is "official slack" and how can I join that?

Thanks for your feedback! You can join here: https://intense-coin.herokuapp.com/

Back up on the right chain! 0% fees until November 30th.

@jamesmd, the pool haven´t made payments after 12:01... What´s wrong?

~~I already sent a message to pool admin over slack... Hope he fixes it soon~~

EDIT Everything sorted

ITNS Whitepaper revision I is available here!

As was suggested by a community member here, we are initially releasing the whitepaper with the premise of accepting comments, feedback and criticism to yield a more thoroughly refined plan for design, implementation and execution. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks for the documentation. How do you manage numbers of exit nodes? If there are too many VPN nodes, the connection speed will crawl (like Tor browser).

As I understand it you choose one exit node that you want to use for VPN connection an then all traffic goes through that exit node as long as you pay for it to the owner of the exit node. Other exit nodes are not used for your connection so the number of nodes should not affect your speed. But the number of users on that single node could be too high that it start to crawl. More nodes should get less users on each node.

ronnylov is correct; the VPN connection is 1-to-1 for a client node, and 1-to-many for exit nodes. You raise a good point in that limitations need to be available for exit nodes to specify maximum # of clients, as more bandwidth/traffic will inevitably affect the speed of an exit node.

Quote from: ronnylov on November 01, 2017, 05:14:54 AM

If I want to host an exit node - what is the system requirements needed in order to deliver good VPN performance for the users?
Thinking I might have a limit of maximum 20 users charing the total bandwidth of maximum 100 Mbit/s (5 Mbit/s to each user on average).

I guess there already are OpenVPN benchmarks available for different kind of computers?
Or can I just run some kind of benchmark tool to get an answer that is valid for my computer?

Edit: Maybe we could integrate a benchmarking tool in the wallet to be able to get recommendations of what kind of VPN offers this computer is able to perform?

Great question. In terms of network speed/bandwidth, it really depends on how much bandwidth you are offering each user. In terms of processing power and memory, requirements are often minimal and probably on-par with what it takes to run a normal Intense blockchain node. It's anecdotal, but see example 1, example 2, etc. The limiting factor will likely only be uplink/downlink speeds.

Benchmarking bandwidth would be a strong addition. It might be considered overcomplicating the software, though, as it's simple for a user to head to speedtest.net and measure connection capabilities, while in-software integration of a feature like that is quite labor intensive.

Yes you are right we don't need overcomplicating the software. Some guidelines in text could be enough with links to external tools or examples of hardware that work well.

With a Hybrid PoW right now, it will be more stable in the future.

Idea is good . the team is very strong , i think that is good project worth to invest

I have the same feeling. Not too many cryptonote coins were born in the last few months and this is the most promising one.
