Topic: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - An Open, Composable Smart Chain Platform, Secured by B - page 829. (Read 1191989 times)

Now anyone can control one of the 64 nodes which are needed for the Komodo Notary Network.

I have for rent:

6 (or 8, when i'm not getting elected) BadAss Notary Node incl. colo in a bulletproof location in the Netherlands.
A node can also be swapped with one of the servers in another geographic region!

1 x Intel Xeon L5520 (4 cores/8 threads) you can use 2 threads for Komodod and 2 for Bitcoind and others for administrative tasks.
64GB memory
1 x 500GB Samsung Enterprise SSD (no consumer version)
15TB bandwidth
1 x IPv4 addresses
KVM access and control panel
Installed with preferrable Linux distro

200USD per month in BTC (3 months up front)

I can fully secure the server and install everything for you for a fee if you don't know how to do that (one time 100usd). It is also possible that i manage the server for a fee (25usd per month)

My DC has an uptime of 99.9% (in reality it is 100%). jl777, BTCDdev and others can confirm this. All servers are directly connected to the AMS-IX backbones.

Keep in mind, you'll get 500usd per month in KMD & BTC (if KMD are not 500usd worth at that time). So a profit of 300USD. 200USD you pay me in BTC.

3 months up front, after that payment per month or annually (with discount 1 month FREE).

You rent the server ANONYMOUS. But please, don't think you can abuse the server. Phishing, spam mailruns, kiddyporn and terrorism is strictly forbidden!!

When payment is not received at the first week of a new month, the power goes down and you lose the right to be the owner of the node. A new owner will get elected and the pubkey will be changed on the notary node list.

ELECTION (READ THIS!)

Only elected people can get a spot. Server admins will get elected by the shareholders. This means that you can still be on the list for a spot, even when i already have 6 clients. If they won't get elected their spot comes available again. So I am looking for 14 possible clients.

You only pay when you get elected! So, basically this offer is a no brainer. Get elected and earn 300usd per month!

CURRENT LIST:

- yassinnxt
- pondsea
- stenkross
- proto
- Killakem
- Durerus
- Frl4web
- bitcoinuserx (reserve)
- (reserve)

Only 1 spot per client

Q&A

- What do i need to do when i get elected?
Setup the server as a Komodo Notary Node, sit back and relax. Of course you have to secure the server so do your maintenance and updates.

- How do I get elected?
I don't know. Do a trump campaign, act crazy like Clinton or hug the shareholders? It's all up to you. Or read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16450895

- Is it really free money?
Well..uhm yeah. Get elected, run the node, receive Komodo's and there it is. Free money.

- What if the Komodo's are not worth the 500usd?
jl777 will give the rest in BTC from the ICO funds.

- Ok, i'm in, what to do?
Write a message in this topic why you want the node. And if you trust me up front, write me a trust review on BCT.

- What is BadAss Security Services?

BadAss (me) is a privacy and security consultant and specialised in being paranoia. BadAss does not like Tor services and so called anonymous VPN providers. BadAss provides co-location servers for all kinds of blockchain projects.

BadAss stands for an open and free internet and provides different services to support that noble thought. Like for instance:

Bulletproof VPS https://www.badass.sx
Bulletproof VPN https://www.rootvpn.eu
Encrypted Email Service https://www.safe-mail.eu
Bulletproof Blockchain Nodes
Anonymous domain registration
Anonymous DNS servers
SSL certificates
Installations of all kinds of services

BadAss cares about your privacy. For all of our services we only need your name and BTC payment.

We will make the internet GREAT again!!!

List updated

Waiting for the ICO 

make sure to join #notarynode channel in the SuperNET slack
slackinvite.supernet.org

I'll try and get elected for the last one if it's still available.

I would assume KMD will trade at most of the major exchanges. If you do not want to deal with their KYC, then dont use those exchanges, just use the DEX directly.

I wrote about the iguana DEX previously and submitted a draft whitepaper on it the other day

That sounds very interesting...
So it will NOT be on Poloniex then?
The KYC I speak of is done at the exchanges, they look at the actual trades between pairs. What can be done about that? You will have your own exchange platform?

using iguana's native DEX that uses atomic cross chain swaps, there is no KYC, and you can trade against BTC and compatibles. Granted the blockchains do keep a record of all transactions, the zcash tech makes it a rather meaningless thing as the anon set is the entire number of transactions in the 2^28th tree

and there is no KYC

blockhashes of KMD is securely written to the bitcoin blockchain and further that data is used by the consensus logic. Basically the KMD blockchain data is extended to include small amount of the bitcoin blockchain

once the bitcoin blockchain confirms the tx with the KMD blockhash, then it becomes as secure as a bitcoin block as the bitcoin blockchain would need to be reorged for the KMD chain to be reorged.

looks have some innovations,keep an eye on this

Couple serious questions:
What keeps regulators from simply watching the transfer outputs from Komodo chain like they do laundering sites?
... exchanges like Poloniex are KYC compliant and keep a record of all trades.
and
What do you mean by "recycles Bitcoin’s hashrate"?

from debug console you can do dumpprivkey
or backupwallet
or dumpwallet

Bump 

Anyone?

Q & A: SuperNET, Iguana, and the Role of Komodo

What people aren't realising that by buying BTCD you will also be able to trade straight away after the ICO in what is effectively a token linked to the value of KMD. That being on Poloniex as-well.

I've made a more in-depth traders post about this but I'm not posting it here.

I plan on running at least 1 notary node. It's currently installed and running in Montreal, Canada on a Intel Xeon E5-1650v3, 6core/12threads, 3,5 / 3,8 GHz, 128 GB of RAM DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz & 500 Mbps guaranteed bandwidth /w 1Gbps burst. Last year I operated and maintained a cluster of 18 VPS's for SuperNet/InstantDEX testing and development and for the past 4-5 years I've been operating mining pools. Currently operate www.zpool.ca on 5 dedicated servers. If all goes well, I will bring another notary node online in EU.

Cheers!

1 server left. Please note that you have to be elected to run this node.

geolocation on ip address
realtime turing tests for each notary node operator

How will we be verifying that the nodes are actually run in their separate geolocations and that nodes aren't run by sock puppets?
