I've updated the web launcher quite a bit. Most recently was an option to attach a key by the file as opposed to having to copy/paste (but, you're still given the option to copy/paste if you prefer).

The latest change was a bit of a retheme and I added sliders in addition to the number inputs for days to live, cores, memory, and disk. I hope this makes it a bit more straight forward.

Before:



After:



So feel free to give it a try. If you use Bitcoin SV and Money Button, there's also a url=https://bitcoinvps.github.io]launcher for that[/url]. Further, the Money Button launcher would be very easy to duplicate and take your own affiliate cut.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I would like to add Monero next. The Bitcoin-based ones were fairly easy as I have similar libraries for all of them Monero. Will be a little more involved.

I'm also a fan of Dash. I should get better automated testing in place to be sure the currencies I have up are working as expected. Don't want to have the option to pay and have it break on someone when they go to use it.

dash is good too Smiley
in my humble opinion you can choice:
or Monero (better)
or Dash
or Zcash
or Grin

is same in my opinion

Here's a proof of concept for buying servers with Money Button.

Would be really easy to set this up as an affiliate to take your own cut.


good job dude, i hope you can implement monero/dash/zcash or other privacy focus coin
i've read your blog, interesting as well (and your projects are interesting)

These servers are expensive and not anonymous as says here: https://sporestack.com/news/#2017-04-01
Stop the fake advertising

Now, spawn usage will be slightly different.
sporestack spawn --days 28 --full_name 'Satoshi Nakamoto' --ssn 524-01-0711 --phone 210-555-1337 --cc '4929 7089 0341 6566' --dob 1990-01-01 --photo_id ./drivers_license.jpg

What you say may be true (I did not investigate), but the idea and implementation is nice.
I like it very much as a project!
obviously for anonymous uses, I would never use it. I'm paranoic.

It's fair if you think the servers are too expensive. There is a notable account over signing up at Vultr (who takes Bitcoin) and getting servers from there. For many, that is the best way to go.

About your claims of not being anonymous, I think you didn't notice that the post was made on April Fools two years ago, and says "(April Fools!)" at the bottom.

Servers last from 1-28 days, but can usually be topped up. Multiple regions available, multiple Linux images and iPXE. No registration required, no IPs logged.

Pretty easy to try:

Launch on the website: https://sporestack.com/

Or your console:

Code:
pip3 install  sporestack
sporestackv2 launch YourHostname --operating_system debian-9 --ssh_key_file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --days 1 --currency btc

Handy for development, quick VPNs, network test servers, or building out a whole infrastructure on microservices. Giving the servers fixed lifetimes lets you expect failure and short server life so that you develop around it.

Also supports hidden hosting, launching a server that's only accessible through Tor.

More information at SporeStack.com, or the V3 onion service on Tor.

I would like to offer $30 worth of BTC, BCH, or BSV for up to five people to review SporeStack.

I am looking for impartial reviewers who will be honest and give me useful feedback and reviews for others to know about SporeStack, here in this thread (or new threads, if applicable).

Of the $30 worth, I would like $10 to be spent on the platform and $20 to be kept for your time. No word minimums or anything like that, although screenshots would be nice.

Looking for people who have some reputation on Bitcoin Talk, ideally an existing review or two they can reference, who know at least the basics of using Linux, and have used VPS hosts before.

Please reply here or in PM if you are interested.

Thank you for your time.

I've added region selection to the front page: https://sporestack.com/

If you select the Digital Ocean host, you can pick a region to launch your server in.

This looks very useful. I'd certainly consider this next time i need a VPS again.

Thank you!

Just launched a web launcher and a very minimal JS library. It's right on the front page: https://sporestack.com/

Please let me know what you think!
