I'm familiar with setting up masternodes, is there a banknode setup guide somewhere in this thread? I don't see it on the OP

side note, dev: web wallet wise, have you seen NEOS? they run a daemon that runs a local web wallet similar to how NXT or any of the crypto 2.0 chains open up a localhost site, and were able to integrate a lot of info to be pulled from pool info to pricing, etc from websites. not sure if that fits into your model of displaying info or not. theres the option to run the wallet or a daemon for webwallet though i havent looked at it in a while.

Hi

By connecting to the exchange, i mean that the wallet updates the balance in your wallet, recalculates and does things like redeem your due payments. Wallet will also look up your exchange account for your balances in all currencies, making this data available to you in the wallet. I will take a look at neos, but by the sounds of it they are running a setup that is vulnerable to web-type attacks. Our version will likely use Json or some other variant. It basically becomes an extension that allows interface with your online account without ceding control of your local privkeys. This is all theoretical until i start coding so take it with a tablespoon of salt.

Any Masternode guide is compatible with BCR.

So much work to do!!! Just started rummaging in getblocktemplate, alganonim reminded me that i hadn't finished coding some changes.

you da man

*edit to add:
I wa shaving trouble with the program unexpected error shut down when launching the wallet. my solution was to run it in compatibility mode Win7. works fine now.

Hot BN is when your coins are on the same machine that runs 24/7, cold setup is when you have a proxy..ie VPS in most cases. But You can have a cold BN on your home network , hell even on the same computer.

However the coming updates discourage hosting too many nodes on one machine, we want BNs to mine, so the max # you can probably run on a one core 1 GB ram VPS will be 2 nodes...

I'd actually encourage local nodes , because it's easier to use a pc at home/work to be online and mining and also promotes decentralization. Obviously if you want you can have VPS, which is more stable + likely better bandwidth/latency

It's really up to the user. I'm spinning up a BN in a few minutes to represent the exchange....speaking of which 2FA now works so you can register and confirm your account. Email is still dodge , but i'll get to it. Some things keep falling between the cracks as i jump between projects.

Soon, everytime you start your wallet, it will automatically login to the exchange, and any bank nodes you have contracts/accounts with and update your stats , balances as well as allow fiat based bidding.....so much innovation..so little time, even less devs.

I only hope that before you will enable BN mining, bigger Banknodes will be enabled first. Like you said there will be need to create much more Vps' and I'm not willing to do it. Operating multiple BN instances on one Vps is stressful enough, still don't get it why 250k Banknodes were wiped when now the similiar idea gets back, couldn't it be saved in the beginning and cooperate with 50k Banknodes? Of course update were inevitable but it would be less work for us.

As for Windows vs Linux Bn, I must admit that Linux version on some Vps is rather more stable and secure than easy-peasy few clicks Windows version, every monkey can learn some basic commands and with help of this community can make it. I even made finally my vps to use swap file and change host name to not see any more those stupid "cannot resolve..." infos.
But not everyone got time and nerves for that, if you want a broader expansion of market and investors involved then Windows version must be always stable and easy to use. If someone will loose his coins because of his mistakes or stupidity then it is his choice and that's how life goes...

Still mostly on mobile and in summer lazy mode, take care

I will be focusing on user experience very soon, we have already had background conversations about this and hopefully we will start overhauling things soon. Thus far i have been focused on getting things working in the wallet, both new and existing , so UX has been on the back burner. I am well aware windows dominates the OS scene and we will make sure to provide.

Everything is going to be highly simplified such that even a first time user can work things out in a few minutes. One area i am worried about is lack of an android wallet.

I'm sure you have noticed how there is a divide growing with new ideas, they all seem to be leaning towards web based solutions, wehere they control your private keys.... I want to provide those same services right off the chain, why use a web wallet when you can get all the perks and extra security using a core wallet? Hell, we can even have someone offering a service of just storing a 2 KB file for you that contains highly encrypted priv keys. He can't access them, but you can via password/decryption after downloading the file.... unlike web wallets where if they close shop....gone are your coins.

Could even take it a step further, encrypt your privkeys and store the on the chain..... so long as you know your pass phrase, any wallet you open + your phrase == recovery of your coins.

I prefer that too. I don't know the underlinings of a web wallet or security or anything but as a consumer, it feels like i have more control over my property with a local qt wallet.

But the one you posted is a Hot node? Means the wallet has to be ON all the time?

I honestly don't know. I'm no pro nor anything I just happened to fiddle around with nodes GUI and it just.. works - no need to go into the console to type commands.

Is sharing public keys perfectly safe? They are just extended addresses, right?

Lol, actually you already share your public keys, "coins" are "sent" to a public key. What you call an address is actually the hash of the public key.

What you should never share are your private keys.....hence the naming convention public vs private.

what about masternode privkey?

Thus far i have not seen how this can be used against you except perhaps to disrupt your BN. And even that is a stretch, there is no real link between the key, your node and your coins. It can't be used to steal coins.

Excellent to know, thanks.
Will try to make small guide for banknodes then... I've seen the same tutorial on every other coin I've gambled with and they are all overly complicated. No one seems to use GUI for god knows what reason.... it is extremely straight forward.

Is that going to be setup guide for a VPS banknode?

There's nothing to it. You hold your coins and manage all your nodes from your one local encrypted wallet and you only unlock it for starting the nodes, that's it. The vps only holds your 'dummy' wallets running for each node, these don't need to be encrypted nor backed up, nothing, they just need to be running, your payments go directly to your local wallet.

Was going to do a guide for BCR with pics and all but it's basically the same thing I wrote here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12161099

I'll re-do that one and add the steps for multiple nodes.

So without a public key I cannot send a message, right?

Yup

But if the address has been used to send coins before, then it's already there in the chain, just do smsgscanchain. It's a double edged sword with regards to this implementation, we can't do "time delayed mesg " or anything the requires unused keys. But it's also a sure fire way of eventually building a directory of services
