just a question when the anon stuff is released and open sourced. Can anyone create a anon server? So anon servers are decentralized not just run by the Navcoin team? I'm preety sure this is correct but want to make sure.
Also if I an running a anon sever will it collect the fees on it's transactions? and how does the network decide which sever gets a transaction?
Thanks
Been following since Summercoin days
Yeah this is correct. Anyone who wants to participate can.
There will be some technical skills necessary because the system will need to run the navcoind and subchaind daemons which are compiled on Linux. It should be accessible to anyone with some basic Linux experience and we will fully document all the setup steps.
The other consideration is that we will need to distribute the subchain coins as they are the fuel for the anonymous transactions. However they are essentially redeemable for Nav at 1:1 and we need to protect the system from abuse. The solution Dash implemented in this regard is to get their anon participants to put forward a deposit which is refundable when they stop participating. We are currently looking at various solutions to this problem and will release full details closer to launch.
Yes, whoever sets up a server will earn the percentage from the anon transactions which that server processes.
The current idea is that similar to how you configure the TOR nodes in your navcoin.conf file, you will be able to add also the anon server addresses you wish to use. This gives the users the ultimate control and responsibility for which servers they trust and use.
We will offer the official navcoin ones which anyone can use but if your mate sets up a server you want to use instead you can use that by simply updating your configuration file.
We are implementing as many security checks to the system as possible, attempting to mitigate any possible attacks but in the end of the day trust will need to be built between users and whichever servers they decide to add because it is impossible to patch every single attack vector in a decentralised system like this.
As mentioned, I will be putting out updated whitepapers on both the anon system and decentralization which will fully explain our implementations in the near future.
hm interesting. So some kind of reward for your node if you enable it to be utilize for ANNon. i like it. Hope the reward is small and the entry price to become such node is also not too big. Please share more about this. or get that update on the white paper. interesting to see what it will be. Would the rasberipy wallet be used for this? Seems like its ideal use case.
From your recent talks. its seem like Annon feature seem might be ready for public much sooner.
ps: OS wallet?
