If you want to change your mind a bit about the last days drama, take a look at my website.

https://lisknode.io

It's nothing fancy but regroup a lot of links in categories and sub-categories all linked to the lisk ecosystem.

I know visual and CSS need some love but I'm a sysadmin and a back-end developer. I have no skills for that.
Please focus on content and not container.  

Hope some of you will enjoy all the information in a one pager.

I maintain over 9 servers for different purpose on Lisk for a year. With all other fees included I took about 4500$ out of my pocket just for that. I also have passed over 1500 hours in the lasts year for multiples things. Stuff like what was metionned earlier and a lot more (alpha test, guides, snapshots servers, alternate explorer, etc) If you count just 10$ per hour, this would mean 15 000$.

You really have no idea whats it can represent to be a good delegate with your "it' only a 50$ a year server"

By the way. a 5$ server a month is the cheaper you can get for entry level vps. This is 1 cpu, 512 mb ram, limited bandwidth, bad latency, no ddos protection, etc. This isn't even enough to run a single low quality server for lisk...

Drop mic...

Thanxs for the reward ! Servers are paid until October 2017, I'm here for the long run. Best wishes.

Nice! Will try it if I ever need to rebuild one of my nodes

Hello Liskers, This week-end I've work on 2 new scripts.

## Script 1 - snapshot.lisknode.io improvement.

Automatically check each 2 minutes for a new snapshot (for now: gr33ndrag0n, mrv or isabella) and update new files latest.gz and latest.txt

Homepage: https://snapshot.lisknode.io/

More Infos: https://snapshot.lisknode.io/README.txt`

Usage Example:
## Script 2 - https://lisknode.io/mirrors/ creation and auto-update.

lisknode.io now have an auto-updated mirrors section for high availability redundency.

Homepage: https://lisknode.io/mirrors/

More Infos: https://lisknode.io/mirrors/README.txt

Usage Example:

I just worked a couple hours to update a bit an old guide.
After Step 5, I added a full new section: "# Firewall and Ports Configuration (Addendum 2016-12-03)"
Give it a look. It's not perfect but it add a lot of informations...

HowTo: Free SSL Certificate Creation and Configuration (UPDATED 2016-12-03)
https://forum.lisk.io/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=184

It's just temporary to make the switch to community slower (and safer)

LiskHQ will remove most vote and genesis completly. Check again a couple times in the coming week.

https://lisknode.io web site is progressing very well to be released soon. Today I've worked a lot adding some data to the page. "Services" and "Guides" section not completed but rest should be ok enough for release v1. I'm interested with anyone constructive comments ...

If someone have made a "git project", a "web site" or anything else lisk related that should be listed on the website, please le me know.

Your welcome!

Lol, I don't deserve that much :p

Thanxs for the compliment. I assume you liked my proposal.

You can always read the docs and make an api call to any open api nodes. (I provide one at wallet.lisknode.io)

To make your life easier, an old timer lisker built a very nice website with this functionnality integrated.

It's MrV and his website is lisktools.io

For the address you gave you could use this address:

I don't post often over here but I've been very active in Lisk.chat and Lisk forums over the last months.

For those interested, I updated my delegate proposal for the contest.

It include all the links to my community services, guides, scripts, etc.

Hey Lisker's, I did a but update in my HowTo for the interested future delegate.

HowTo: Free SSL Certificate Creation and Configuration

Check it out:
https://forum.lisk.io/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=184

I will soon add the cronjob part to auto-renew the certiciate.

For Lisker's building delegate nodes, here is my first howto for you.

Hi Lisker's, I worked a lot on the testnet node and it's working good, I also updated my active delegate anon and current voting list. use the link in my signature if your interested to see latest version. You can also PM me if your not in the list.

All my keys are generated and validated ! You don't ? DO IT NOW!

I'm curently finalizing the testnet node security.
Do you want the node to be accesible from TOR ?
I ask because on some of my servers I use dynamic autoban of TOR exit nodes to prevent DDOS by TOR.
I think that active delegate node won't be using TOR, it would be too slow, so I don't see a problem with active delegate blocking those IP. Do you ?

That kind of SHTF scenario is exactly why I'm finetuning firewall/autoban rule today on my testnet box

I guess we will see, sure thing is protection against a dedicated ddos botnet that send thousands of 'legitimate request' is always hard to block whatever the method used ...

Thanxs guys but this one was created on the https://login.lisk.io/ implementation.

I will ask you again later for my real stand alone node that I'm currently building. It take time because I want to build a fully secure container with DSN Entry for future monitoring SSH Key auth, firewall, brute force resiatant, etc And once I will my 'recipe' I will build the MainNet node from that 'Recipe'

DO you think it worth it to make the node PCI Compliant ? Like real world banking servers.

As soon as the node if fully configured up & running, it will be a pleasure.
There is a good chance I will ask you the same in time ...
