For all testnets we’ve been fine with a few informal seeds setup by developers and just *.seed.grin-tech.org but mainnet should be held to a (much) higher standard. So on behalf of the team I’d like to request:
A few additional DNS names, with the following requirements:
Commit to own the domain for at least 2 years, let us know if an issue arises ASAP.
Know how to setup A records.
Be available under a contact email address to add/remove records within 48h (preferably).
Multiple additional Grin seeds with the following requirements:
Commit to maintain and upgrade Grin regularly for the next year at least.
Let us know ASAP if you plan to stop or can’t upgrade regularly anymore.
Run on decent hardware (anything with 2 vCPUs and 4GB or more is fine) with decent bandwidth (>2 Mbps should be enough) and publicly available P2P ports.
Know enough Grin configuration to change the max peers limit to 250.
Know enough to set it up so it auto-restarts on crash (belt and suspenders never hurt).
Are we talking about dynamic DNS seeders here? Either way, I can provide a DNS seeder at seed.grin.plutomonkey.com with dynamic or static records.
Happy to do this. I have dedicated hardware with a fixed IP, with high bandwidth and availability. Keeping things updated and correctly configured shouldn’t be an issue.
@haarts IP address? @gary thanks! that works @hendi will you be adding the nodes reported by others as well? @scottyd IP is 95.216.193.239, correct? @jasondavies No seeder yet, @quentinlesceller started one here but it’s not finished yet. So static records for now.
I run my own DNS authority server on this domain. I’ve been holding this domain for more than 2 years and I commit to continue to hold it for at least another 2.
I’m a Rust developer myself, and happy to see Grin about to launch its mainnet!
Hello,
Is it possible to maintain a grin seed and still remain anonymous ? (if yes, how ?)
Is it for example possible to maintain a grin seed at an onion address ? Does this already exist ?
It’s my 1st post here, I profit to thank all developers for what seems to be quite a nice project.
I’m in the process of creating a small deployment project for running a Grin node (this works but is rough around the edges: https://nest.pijul.com/haarts/grin-seed). What would be a dead simple why of checking the new node is accepting P2P connections? Some telnet command perhaps?
@igno.peverell IP addresses are forthcoming! Give me a couple of more days.
