Just installed the windows wallet. Nice!
I'm staking my wallet 24/7. Is there another way to help the network?
Is it possible to support by setting up a seednode? How to?

Hi oneoff, sorry for the slow response. I was catching up on some much-needed sleep after getting the source code finalised for Windows, it compiled, and released.

Thanks for the compliment! Quite an eyeful, no? Wink

I am very proud of the results, especially the statistics on the overview. It is a very attractive design that is turning heads on social media and I hope that does bring Sterlingcoin new interest.

Thank you for staking 24/7 and supporting the network by helping to process the blockchain. Judging by the rising network stake weight the past 24 hours, the new wallet has brought on more consistent stakers. This is very good for the network.

It is possible for you to setup and to run a full node. Add "server=1", "daemon=1", and "listen=1" to your config file and be sure your router forwards port traffic to the host. When you connect to the DNS seednodes, they will distribute your IP to other wallets in search of peers, effectively distributing your node as a seednode. But the actual 'seednode' label is reserved for nodes running in datacenters.

Again, thanks for the support and, very glad you like the new wallet.

Is it possible to run a node from an empty wallet. If so I have some VPS that I gladly install SLG wallet upon.

It certainly is possible and it does help the network. You will want to follow these instructions: https://github.com/Sterlingcoin/Sterlingcoin-1.6.0.1-Release/blob/master/README.md#build-instructions-for-terminal-based-linux-wallet

Thanks in advance!

Great, there is instructions. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Which port and how do I validate that the node is running?
