Today we want to announce project Sinni, from host or companion in Old Norse.
Lightning network technology is a breakthrough and can eliminate many of the limitations currently seen in blockchain platforms. However, on the downside, you have to be consistenly connected to the network to receive transactions or to stop people from publishing invalid states. The most effective way of achieving this is to set up a dedicated, unattended node which remains online. In order to avoid introducing centralization through the Veltor Donar Platform, our team was working on ideas to make this cheap and easy.
Sinni is a small embedded hardware node which remains connected to the Veltor network as long as your Internet connection is up. It allows you to connect with a mobile app or through a web interface. It is power efficient and simple to operate. Private keys are stored in a pluggable USB device, which thus makes your entire Veltor identity easily portable. Plug it into your Sinni and it will load your wallet; otherwise, your node is simply a stateless supporter of the peer-to-peer network.
Sinni will come in the shape of a small cube with a status display, ports for USB, power & Ethernet, as well as Wifi and SD card memory.
Key features:
- Persistent connection to the Veltor Donar Platform
- Private key protection and backup
- User-friendly initial configuration via Ethernet
- Mobile app or web interface to manage your wallet
- Connects to home network via Wifi or Ethernet
- Supports the Veltor peer-to-peer network
I want one! Do you guys have any estimation of the price?
