Re: PhantomNodes - Run thousands of masternodes on a RPi, any IPs, coin agnostic.

I created this UI over your phantom nodes so anyone can host their nodes for free with a few clicks. It works by adding a fresh TX ID or by uploading an existing masternode.conf file with already started nodes.

https://phanode.com/

Source code will be published after I polish it a bit. If it represents any interest, we can work on improving and extending the functionality.

Very cool UI, really nice work! Looking forward to seeing the source. The discord link above has a development channel if you ever need any information.

I got a chance to debug PIVX clients that were going missing. Apparently they use some double-broadcast ridiculousness to get into an ENABLED state. I'll release a patch shortly so you can issue a single broadcast and then run the phantom daemons.

If you want more technical details, they create a catch-22 scenario where a broadcast goes out, is marked as PRE_ENABLED but the code doesn't respect PRE_ENABLED. When the network tries to update, it rejects it because the masternode isn't ENABLED, but it can't get ENABLED until it accepts the update. I've got a work around that sends a broadcast that instantly goes to ENABLED and then everything works fine.

The downside, you'll need to run the broadcast command and then run the phantom daemon -- so it's two steps vs. one step for DASH -- but still easy.

Update should be coming in a day or two.

Hey, it seems like you are doing proper work on this container-- however I have heard there is some concern from Bittrex security regarding your tool's potential ability to spoof existing MNs. My understanding is that MN peer nodes don't validate a static IP of the MN set at the time of configuration. Trex security have apparently been lurking your discord and they are worried your tool can be modified to Sybil-attack MN networks for easy forking, vote manipulation, or double spend via Sybil-falsified instantsend quorum.

Additionally some scanning of the Windows binary has revealed TrojanDropper.Dapato.zby which I'm hoping is a false positive.

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/34d5553bca53dd84560f4779071bf5267bb9f1755d4b2dc4208f576d4a977ac8/analysis/1556570810/

I apologize for having to edit my neutral post above to a warning but a lot of people follow blindly what I say and I didn't want to be responsible for any losses incurred by people testing your tool without full awareness of the risks.

There are no trojans in the binaries on git, that's for sure. But, of course, never take some rando's word for it, check the source and for the love of goodness, compile it yourself - the docker images make it super simple. Other than that, the phantom should NEVER require a collateralize private key, so if anyone suggests otherwise, don't trust them. I spent a lot of time on the architecture to make sure that private keys stayed in the wallet and private.

It looks like there's an issue with certain PIVX variants. The phantom daemon is working on them but something isn't quite right. I'm working on debugging it.

I have downloaded and set this up on a few coins to test it. LPC nodes keep going missing one node on MARC will not count up then goes missing. I pulled all of the config data for zealium NZL and have the counters running up but no rewards yet. Two of them used the old IP so they should be receiving. Any ideas?

Thanks


Are you using the latest version 0.0.4? For LPC and MARC, is active time increasing before it goes MISSING or is it just going to missing after a period of time?

Made phantoms easier to use to hot-swap masternodes more quickly for users who aren't worried about high availability. You can now use a coin configuration file and the unmodified masternode.conf from your coin of choice. And remember, phantoms are hot-swappable, you don't need to restart your MNs to move to phantom nodes -- the magic of being able to use any IP address you like.

Coin confs for:

  • $PAC
  • ANDS
  • Feirm
  • SPARKS
  • XBI

are posted on the github. I'll add more as more people provide settings.

looking at the code now, i might have a use for this...
i have a buncha questions of course, but i feel like ill have most my answers once i read the docs
so ill do that first
(i already have a way i do this with my own masternodes privately, so im curious how you did it Wink )

Nice work

Thanks! And ask away, happy to answer anything I can.

Phantom nodes requires no static IP address, no copy of the blockchain, and no proof-of-service. As such, you can run a node on any IP address of your liking: 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 if you wish. The phantom daemon is extremely lightweight allowing you to run hundreds of nodes from a modest machine if you wished. And, possibly most importantly, you can move your currently running masternodes to phantom nodes without restarting since a real IP address is no longer a requirement.

The phantom daemon is custom built wallet designed to replicate only what is required for pre-EVO masternodes to run; it replaces the masternode daemon piece. It does not handle any wallet private keys and has no access to your coins. You will still need a wallet to start your masternodes, but once started, the phatom node system will handle the rest for you.

I shared this with a few people I thought might be interested. Do you have a discord or anything where potential users/contributors can chat live with you?

Yes, there's a discord here: https://discord.gg/RmUcbY

Thanks! It's already a working solution and has gathered a few additional developers already. It's not it's own coin though, just a replacement daemon for masternode coins that is far, far, far more efficient.

Good afternoon. Tell me how many pac I need to have to run the masternodes? Share information. There is a desire to set up. Thanks for the help. Good luck to all.

It's 500,000 $PAC for a masternode.

also unclear:

What if you stake PAC, are they still redeemable?

Really foobar.

Can I stake until May31?

{check the terms used, stake not masternood}

You can stake PacCoin until you decide to redeem
Days of the week will be usable as they are for the next months


really?
really?

Can this be sited?  Link?

CMC has us ranked at #3 but it appears they are using the old pac circulation numbers which is incorrect. Trying to put this out on every channel I have access to, to prevent any possible confusion. We're trying to address this now.

I still think the pac team scammed investors what made you
Think I changed my mind ?
Didn’t you say you no longer work for pac ?
I don’t believe you

Is this you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uay9b2_ZJk&lc= ? There's a comment where the poster uses: ,, which you were super fond of until I asked the youtuber about the syntax similarities and now it's disappeared.

As for me not being on the team, that's because, yet again, you're mistaken. I said I didn't work for PAC until after the Cryptopia event you keep referring to.

You are on here claiming scam because Cryptopia (a self-controlled website) made a mistake. Then CMC makes a mistake and you're on here hoping that it causes $PAC to moon knowing full well that if people bought $PAC because CMC made a mistake and ranked us three, people are going to claim scam. You motives, and logic, are completely opposed to each other -- so I can only believe you're just here to stir trouble. To that point, have a great one, no point feeding trolls.

Why does it say total supply 3,880,657,660 $PAC on coinmarketcap but after the swap the team said total supply would be 100 billion. Is the 3,880,657,660 $PAC suppose to be the circulating supply?

Yes. The 3.8B is the circulating supply.

$PAC Has been removed from Coinmarketcap. Hopefully to fix error and relist with correct info. At the very least we got our 15 min of Fame!! lol Cool

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/paccoin/

You can still view it directly -- the info is still wrong, argh. But they've fixed the listing so people won't get confused which is good.
