Hi everyone.

It seemed no one was using this for quite some time, or at least for any sizeable amount of funds where I've noticed any comissions. At one point it was definitely being used for some large transfers and I never heard of any issues.

Unfortunately, I haven't been running the .onion for a while now, but the code is all still there. I've been busy working on other things. I'd like to hand the reins over for the Github organization and the private key for the .onion.

I could try to sell it to the highest bidder, but then I'd worry about a scammer getting it. So make me an offer of compelling words, Bitcoin, both, or neither, and maybe I'll send it your way for someone else to continue with. Strongly prefer someone with a good track record and who's savvy.

The code is all open source of course if you just want to launch the same thing, rebranded: https://github.com/doublemixer/

I also have the doublemixer-python project and associated libraries that I can transfer into the organization first (and make sure it's transfered from Pypi).

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Ha, unfortunately not. This has been down for a while anyway, eventually may come back.

Was just an easy way to pay with Bitcoin to launch a Minecraft server.

I don't understand your question. Could you rephrase it?

No longer for sale! More details here: https://sporestack.com/news/#2020-07-24

Thank you!

I don't think Coinjoin or Wasabi could be easily integrated into a browser, especially without some kind of proxy layer. But I agree, two different types of mixing would be preferable.

Hopefully the mixing methods used here are dissimilar enough.

There's been some steady improvements on SporeStack lately. I've caught up on some tech debt, lots more to go.

Working towards offering more Torified flavors as well.

I love my customers a lot. I'm grateful to have any at all. It really isn't enough to sustain me, though.

Sometimes I wonder if SporeStack is worth anything, if someone would want to buy it. It's something always in the back of my head. Can't really unplug for more than 24 hours. Try to reply to customers as soon as possible.

I've moved back in with my parents. Just not making enough on SporeStack to have my own place. Been looking for work and having basically no luck.

One of the few things I don't like about SporeStack is that it isn't really enabling people to be more independent. I guess I like self-hosting more and more. I'd rather see people be able to host servers themselves, maybe out of their own homes. Of course I know the limitations there. It's not straightforward offering reliable services.

I've been slowly trying to pull off of 3rd party services. Hosting my own code, shifting slowly off Github. Having all the source code I need on hand.

I have a lot of ideas for SporeStack. Want to have a Javascript-free launcher. Switch it over to being based on FreeBSD. Add back in a Vultr driver.

Just what I really want to do is buy some land up here in Idaho and learn how to live off it. Learn how to make my own clothes, grow my own food, hunt my meat. Once (and if) I can provide for my own existence, then seeing what I actually want to do from there. I'd rather write letters to people than emails, although my handwriting is really terrible.

I've been keeping SporeStack going for over 3 years. It's the first of its kind and thankfully inspired some similar services.

I get tired sometimes. I question how things are going around me. I am finding out my skills are becoming more and more irrelevant in the workforce. Starting to think if I can't get some land, I might have to try being a mechanic. At least I'd be working with my hands.

If I ever were to sell SporeStack, which I'd be really surprised if I did any time soon, I'd really want it to be to someone likeminded and who I could trust. It is pretty special to me and I want my users to be taken care of really well. I hope I'm not losing too much trust with this post. It might be a pipe dream, just might be nice to get out of this line of work for a while. Especially when I can't live on it as it is.

I wake up and get on my laptop. I double check graphs before I go to bed. I find technology fascinating, but I feel more slave to it than master.

It'd be nice to feel at peace without some constant rush of dopamine all the time.

I hope you all are doing well. Thank you for reading.

Few small updates.

Added RancherOS, CentOS 8, updated Fedora to 31, and ZFS images for FreeBSD.

Looks like the site is down now. Super cool project, would love to have a go. Seems like some huge bounties.

How'd you get my email to spam me?

Since you have affiliates listed, I'll list a couple of mine.

Double Bitcoin Mixer Affiliate / Referral

SporeStack VPS Hosting for Bitcoin Affiliate / Referral

How'd you get my email to spam me?

Price for torified servers has dropped from $17.92 / 28 days ~ to $7.00 / 28 days ~. Also, Digital Ocean servers will shut down at expiry and only get deleted 24 hours after expiry. This helps signal if you haven't paid for a server, in case you might want to keep it going.

Also some updates to the web launcher.

Merry Christmas!

This is awesome! Not sure why I didn't see this earlier. I appreciate you mentioning SporeStack.

I have a few thoughts.

For the SSH keys, a quick helpful thing might be to do add a regex filter so that the field shows up as incorrect unless it begins with "ssh-" (regex validation can be done in HTML pretty easily). For SporeStack I have server side validation of the key.

I do think it helps to have the key attach as a file drop down next to eachother. Feel free to copy that over from SporeStack's web launcher if you like. The code isn't great but has worked fine for me so far.

If you want, I recently launched affiliate with SporeStack and you can charge a cut above the normal rate. So if you wanted to offer control panels, etc, on top, you could have all of the payment handled with SporeStack for the 3ish, 4ish, cryptos and not have to worry about that. Your website is probably a lot easier than most. Might be an option for offering Torified servers if you are having some demand there.

I'll go ahead and add a link to Xitheon under my pricing page. Will register and try to get your affiliate working. I think this is going to be great for people wanting control panels, remote desktop access, Windows, etc. I don't offer anything like that out of the box.

One more update. Now you can enable the settlement tokens from the website. You only have to email me if you want one for free (for affiliate).

I'd like to announce affiliates on SporeStack. Bit late to the game, but this system is a bit different than most.

If you are looking to make money configuring servers for people, this could be an option for you. As well as the traditional link based referrals.

Would you consider adding CORS headrs to your API?

Do you have an API with CORS headers set to allow all?

You can now query your balance and top up settlement tokens here.

Or here on the Tor Hidden Service: http://spore64i5sofqlfz5gq2ju4msgzojjwifls7rok2cti624zyq3fcelad.onion/settlement_tokens/
