chalbersma: and anything you'd like for the password
chalbersma: So use 104.131.60.126:8559 for the server
chalbersma: I do however need a link to use for the contact tab. Right now it redirects to me blog.
chalbersma: Mircea. I have the p2pool server ready for testing.
chalbersma: Pleasure doing buisness guys. I'll be on in a few hours.
chalbersma: Okay I'll grab his address when we get to that stage.
chalbersma: Generally it's a good idea to use an address from a wallet not on the same server as the pool. That will ensure that if the server is compromised there's less that can be stolen.
chalbersma: Also whose ATC address is going to be the base address for this pool?
chalbersma: That's the plan I do need to go run some errands though so I won't be able to start until later today.
chalbersma: ;;rate mircea_popescu 2 Client for ATC p2pool Implementation
chalbersma: ;;rate RagnarDanneskjol 2 Client Contact and Recruiter for ATC P2pool Implementation
chalbersma: ;;rate mircea_popescu 2 "Client for ATC p2pool Implementation"
chalbersma: I'll start working with Ragnar to get it setup.
chalbersma: Let me generate one for this transaction.
chalbersma: True ads don't exactly pay a lot of money.
chalbersma: In theory we could take a "cross that bridge when we come to it." position.
chalbersma: Okay what did you have in mind for ongoing maintenance costs?
chalbersma: I've got it setup currently on a home connection. You can check it out but I'd like to give the ip over pm to keep some semblance of keeping my IP private.
chalbersma: If the budget allows I was thinking that allowing me to place an add on the web interface page + ~0.2 BTC initial compensation for setup on Ragnar's hardware seems reasonable. It gives me an incentive to continue maintenance because of the add while giving me enough up front to satisfy the fiancee that the hours I've already spent working on it were worth it.
chalbersma: Well now's the awkward budget period where we discuss how to get paid. :)
chalbersma: I wish that that description was overstating it.
chalbersma: It's been a fun gents. I'm going to call it a night. You guys have a good one.
chalbersma: @decimation yes but not all the AIX/HP-UX clients are government.
chalbersma: Yep the company I work for still developes the latest stuff for HP-UX. Luckily we're moving off it for RHEL later this year.
chalbersma: Not really a marriage until it's N+1 eh?
chalbersma: Ya I remember reading about the RG problems. I use bitvps for my blog and it seems fairly stable. But I assume that there's probably a number of people offering VPS hosting for bitcoin these days.
chalbersma: I noticed someone said they didn't like bitvps but they have VPS for $20/mo that may do the trick. I assume other vps providers have similar pricing. 2 cores 2G 20GB 2TB transfer.
chalbersma: So not much at all. I think the p2pool node I setup for RSM was using about 400MB of RAM but I was telling that server to manually connect to a number of peers.
chalbersma: Does anyone have an idea of how much ram atc's daemon uses?
chalbersma: I think the real issue then is how much "ummph" does the VPS in question need. I've not had a chance to experiment with the minimum requirements for ATC or p2pool ontop of ATC.
chalbersma: If the idea is to minimize costs then a VPS is probably your best bet for now. Especially considering that the blockchain is so small. Question can other sha-256 coins be merged ontop of atc? Like namecoin
chalbersma: So this p2pool server are you looking for one to run with ATC or with Bitcoin? My understanding is that ATC is not merge minable.
chalbersma: Plus the usg couldn't get any worse if it was toking up. :)
chalbersma: I've heard rumors of Denver. Major air hub, centrally located, US mint, near AF College...
chalbersma: @Bingo I am also interested in MaidSafe it seems like if it's implemented properly it could be the decentralized Amazon EC2.
chalbersma: @Bingo would consider it in the future. Not looking into starting a hosting gig full time at this point. I haven't worked with Solaris but at my last job I did setup an internal FreeBSD webserver for them and I've been keeping up with FBSD for a while (esp. that ZFS goodness).
chalbersma: If they're is enough interest in p2pool and other mining servers I might consider it.
chalbersma: Not sure to be honest. I'm a Sys Admin by day so it seemed natural to bring those skills to bitcoin as I started to get into it.
chalbersma: Almost dead now. I was quite interested in it. Was permanent storage in a blockchain. Never really valuable but an interesting concept.
chalbersma: Or potentially host it off someones home connection for a smaller fee.
chalbersma: Depending on the size of the atc blockchain you may be able to host it on a VPS cheaper.
chalbersma: Originally designed it to do scrypt p2pool with many alts but the scrypt hardware we pre-ordered was delayed.
chalbersma: ATM the RSM p2pool has a private IP in the DC but we're working on getting it a public one. When the request comes back you'd be able to log into the public stats page and check it out.
chalbersma: Ya but I needed someone to "show me the ropes" so to speak. I'm sure I could have done it myself but this gave me a structured way to start.
chalbersma: Ya he has an opinion about you but then again he's a bit hotheaded and has opinions about a lot of people. But he gave me my first break in bitcoin so...
chalbersma: We're friends. Are you asking me to tell you his name?
chalbersma: Mid range started getting involved summer of last year.
chalbersma: Yes I run one for RSM an internal P2pool node for bitcoin with a few alts merge mined.
chalbersma: I've set it up with bitcoin and from what I understand atc is almost identical it "should work" almost out of the box.
chalbersma: I was more wondering what exactly you were looking for.
