Don't know who folks are using for throne set-up....

OVH is great, but the network seems to have plenty of exposure there.

Aruba (www.arubacloud.com) has several data centers (Czech, Italy, France, Germany, etc) and also has cloud servers priced at 1 euro a month right now.

Tiktalik (tiktalik.com) is a polish cloud provider that has servers for 10 PLN.

Openvz.io has some reasonably priced VM/Containers available across a range of geographies.  This takes you to iniz.com, which is SYN Ltd in the UK... but it's reasonably priced.

Ultimately, there are good arguments for Crown to have:
1. A guide or list of cloud service providers, where you can either set up your own thrones/trons or whom you can contract with to operate the throne/tron servers.
2. A preference for cloud service providers who operate within a single legal jurisdiction
- the complicated thing about crypto-currencies and the platforms of services which they could support isn't so much the technology, as how different regulatory and legal systems will deal with the capabilities of these systems.  Since different countries will react differently, it is probably easier to know that when you have a server in a country you are subject to the legal system of that country -- rather than dealing with the issues of a corporate parent in one country with one set of laws and regulators and a server somewhere else.

#2 isn't an issue yet -- but just worth thinking about as folks set up their throne servers and as the team thinks about the next steps for the platform... so applying the logic from point #2 to the list of VPS providers above, Tiktalik is the only one which has it's servers and legal organization in one jurisdiction - and this is the sort of profile of a VPS provider that is probably a better long-term host for throne/tron servers than the multi-national businesses with complex multi-jurisdictional regulatory and legal issues...

Would be curious what other VPS/Cloud providers folks might recommend with a similar profile?

thx.  




I like the sounds of a kind of spreadsheet showing,

Which company - Cost - Host Country - Accept BTC? - Accept Paypal? - ect - ect

Could you get the ball rolling on this? I will add to the list myself and try to get others to do so..

And an address for the pool, Make sure you claim your pool's mining address by adding "auxminingaddr=
" in your crown.conf. Please post that address with the link and logo Wink

Mergemining.com changed payout address a little while ago :: auxminingaddr=1KebRP3votHfCcY1bFy54bZa9GsHM49Q27

If any miners would like to advertise their pool in the OP I just need a logo and pool url.

Alright guys, looking for some electrum pro's here maybe even the auxcoin pro's Wink We're trying to setup electrumx, and getting stuck right around the time auxpow was implemented. it appears that electrumx uses the nonce to decode the block headers. Which after auxpow was implemented defaulted to zero? And the coinbase was altered to be shorter.

domob helped us to implement auxpow so maybe he has an idea?  Wink

Think we've got the issue sorted Wink it looks to be an electrumx issue, since it tries to parse part of the block header. Which for auxcoins is invalid. Jeremy Rand from namecoin was going to be working on a port of electrum-server and client. So i figured it would be best to work with another familiar community so more than one community can benefit from the end result. He won't be available for a few weeks, but I look forward to working with him on the project and learning what I can.

Looking forword to see what happens, I guess the android wallet will only be released once the electrumx server is working with Crown?

I would like to get a few more nodes online using the old version of electrum before we roll out a test release. We're also waiting to hear back from Coinomi to see if we can get permission from them to use their newest source code. Since it happens to use a License that isn't open source. And requires us to gain permission before using it. Which I don't think should be an issue with them as long as we have something to contribute toward the project in the future. And I'm hoping at some point we will be able to contribute to the Coinomi project.

I still haven't had much luck in setting up a throne, I can't quite pinpoint why this is the case. I'm using ubuntu 16.10 and following the guide exactly. when I type throne list in debug console it shows up as enabled. However, when I type ./crown-cli getinfo in putty, it shows a 0 balance. looking through the block explorer it shows the throne has exactly 10000 crw associated with it.

If the throne is showing up in the list and crown-cli throne status shows the node is running just be patient, the rewards will come into your controller wallet with the 10000 coins in it.

How long would this take? I waited hours then typed ./crown-cli getinfo and it still shows a 0 balance. It shows up initially in the list then disappears after a period of time, I can only assume because it boots the node because it doesn't see 10000 crw attributed to it.

If your using the .10 guide from the OP, it tells you to set up hot and cold wallets.
The hot wallet(VPS) never has coins in it, the cold wallet (windows) is where your coins are stored.
Keep entering the start command.

never spam the start command as that could result in getting your node banned, you should be running a hot/cold node setup. the hot node contains the 10000 coins for the throne, as well as a throne.conf with the information in it pointing toward your cold node. The throne private keys from both the hot and cold node MUST match or your start command will not start your cold node.

When you start your cold node with
throne=1
throneaddr=IP:9340
throneprivkey=

and type "crown-cli throne status" you should see that the node is waiting for remote activation.
On your hot node setup your throne.conf using the example in that file. wait for the 15 confirmations to start your throne. then restart your hot node. and send the command to start your cold node.
when you use the throne.conf with a QT based wallet you should see a throne manager tab, which will give you access to all of the nodes in the throne.conf

I've folowed these guidelines without success. The cold node cannot communicste with the hot node. it initially shows as enabled then becomes missing before accepting payment as the hot node shows a 0 balance. Private keys are identical. Maybe the hot node's conf file is in the wrong spot?  I've tried sething it up a dozen times now

What time zone are you in? Let's set a time to chat (Skype, alack etc) to get this solved.

Pst/gmt -8, though I likely won't have time to look at it until late on Friday/Saturday evening. Mind if I send you a detailed pm going through my process to see if you can pinpoint any errors along the way?

No problem at all.

Thanks man, I'll send you a detailed message sometime friday

Quick update on my thrones:  After compiling the fix branch, I still got an error with the hot throne - although a different one.  Then it gave me the same error message as someone else on the thread, about "port 0" (although I have configured 9340 as port).  I wasn't able to quickly resolve that, and instead switched to a hot/cold config which now works fine for me.

It seems most of our issues are getting resolved with a hot/cold node setup and it is definitely a more secure way to run the throne. I did work out the issue with ACP on his end. It seems he was unable to access the external IP of his machine from the local network, I ran into this issue a while ago while setting up my firewall, PFsense. When NAT forwarding wasn't configured correctly I could only access the external IP from 127.0.0.1. This situation is usually not the case for most networks, but ones with a VERY strong firewall on them. And takes a bit of extra configuration to access the remote IP from the internal network.

Solution? use a hot/cold node setup and you fly right past the issue.

Warning: Do NOT use Yobit..

Already said this in the CRW Twitter Campaign topic. Please, DO NOT USE YOBIT as they're on the wrong chain, haven't updated for ages and ignore our removal requests. Prevent them at all costs, instead you should use C-Cex [CRW-BTC] as they're fully up-to-date and compatible with the latest CRW version.

Peace!
