Hey I would love to learn how to do this. Is it to late to get involved?

@emersonian I hope I’m not too late, I will love to be a part of this innovation. Also I’m a hardworking guy who needs the pay anyways.

The pay is to cover the server cost. It’s more of a reimbursement

Late to the party, but happy to contribute!

Hello there!

Just to confirm that am not left behind; I did ping the Session address as directed since a week ago and am yet to get a response or update of any kind.

The same. The interface shows ‘sending messages’. I do not know whether the service of Session is available or not in my region.

whats the updates on this , is it still running/moving as planned? i have someone saying he is yet to get any response for weeks now

Unknown. Same status here. Have a server hosting package waiting on a thumbs up. With the continuous updating of the code it would be helpful if there was specific instructions for latest install and update procedure. Don’t really care about the stipend, but a guide would be a good addition to the project.

If you’re looking for decentralization the sink or swim method for those who want to contribute might not be the best approach. If all you want is experienced coders that’s cool, just say so.

I got some instructions by message on Session about a month ago but nothing since, all questions going unanswered and radio silence on this thread.

Pretty poor form to not even update this thread if there are delays, especially seeing as people have invested in hardware and/or software services to get set up.

Plus @emersonian seems to be posting elsewhere on the forum but is ignoring us for some reason.

So, what’s the current status of this initiative? Is it abandoned?

:frowning: Was really looking forward to this

Paying people to host a node is the wrong approach anyway.

If you care about Zcash and can afford it, run a node. I run multiple nodes.

Recipe on Debian based OS:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

. "$HOME/.cargo/env"

sudo apt install clang libclang-dev protobuf-compiler

cargo install --locked zebrad

zebrad generate -o ~/.config/zebrad.toml

zebrad start

Questions?

How do you mitigate IP leakage risks?

I personally do not attempt to hide the IP of my nodes, because I don’t use those to send transactions and because I run those nodes in datacenters that do not prohibit running such service.

On the point of sending transactions, it’s important people keep in mind that while it’s good for the network that they run a node, it’s not a good idea to send their own transaction onto their own node. Someone here took the time to explain the reasoning but I don’t know how to find this now, maybe @daira knows.

Either way, I think you could run zebra over Tor if you wanted such mitigation but unfortunately I cannot be of assistance with this. I’d be interested to learn more about such node setup details though.
