Two questions, actually turns out it was 3, about Sanctuaries..
These are only Linux ? Or will there be a Windows solution to this ?
And secondly, is a static IP required ?
Go on, a third then, is much bandwidth required ? Any calculations on this ? Or is it low enough that it's not worth thinking about..
Looking forward to running one or two, just not mad about Linux.. But if needs be, then so be it..
Here is the guide again btw:
http://wiki.biblepay.org/Create_SanctuaryThey are linux only, primarily because the proof-of-service software we use only runs on linux.
No windows solution is currently scheduled, unless our stratis Proof-of-concept is really well received. If it is, Ill port watchman-on-the-wall to c# so that then you can run a Pose-enabled biblepay node in c#.
Static ip is required, thats primarily why we recommend web hosts for this. If your node fails to vote when its asked to you lose your sanctuary payment.
Very low bandwidth is required, only 10% more than a normal node, Except since you are a full PoSE node you would be servicing inbound connections, however these are split among all the nodes. Im running one with 1023 connections and its taking 40kbps so its pretty low. You can see the network graph in the qt wallet btw (Tools | Network Traffic).
