I kinda missed the moment when it was introduced. Do i get this right? I can run a single node on cheap VPS and allow all my family and friends to use it to validate and mine? Is it safe for both sites (node owner and node users?). Isn't it step forward centralization? If 1 node owner have 50 votes?
It was closed alpha few validations ago, like oracles now.
It was introduced as open beta here
https://t.me/IdenaAnnouncements/631Yes, you can run single shared node for your family and friends, i recommend 2core 4gb as we are still in beta testing, i heard that on that 35 were validated without problem, i will try to test up to 50 next validation
There is guide by Mahmoud on idena forum for full shared node with domain public setup here:
https://discuss.idena.website/d/36-running-your-own-shared-node-step-by-step-tutorialHere is my own variant you can use to setup local lan shared node or on vps, but only for close family and friends, because they will make tunnel to connect and will have full access to vps
Its a self installing script + instructions
Web validation and Shared node in LAN setup: (in firefox, hit enter again in url when you have opened link to get you to the guide, must fix it)
