    But three days now i dont get any info about the server and i think the node is down Sad and i cant get it work

    Well, it' not down since you linked us to http://69.12.86.115/ it shows 8 active connections.

    It could be an issue with the server itself, assuming you did the VPS, correct?

    yes i did the vps and i check everyday the node and i have about 40-60 connections. Now i can see to the node page that i have 8 connections but i cant get any info with bitcoind getinfo command
    I will check again in one hour to see what happens. If is not working i will try to reinstall bitcoind

    No

    Does anyone know if this pricing is locked in year over year? If so I'm going to have to set up a ton of these!

    Cheers,
    Adam

    There is some risk concentrating them all in the same data-center.

    I have idle long-term plans to set up a Bitcoin node in Iceland, which I believe to be relatively Bitcoin friendly. Would be valuable if Bitcoin is ever banned at home.


    Wouldn't the same risk be present if the servers that host the nodes are leased by the same provider?

    The person I was responding to was talking about spinning up a bunch of identical nodes in the same data-center. Are you asking if 1 server is just as risky as a bunch? I think my point is you don't get the same diversity benefits with all of them in one place.

    My "idle long-term plans" are essentially about keeping the network going if the G8 decide to crack down on it. My current ISP prohibits illegal use in their TOS. So if hosting a node becomes illegal, I would have to shut it down: or move it to a more friendly jurisdiction.


    But what if Amazon (or whoever you are leasing from) decides to try to attack the network. Couldn't they essentially take over the existing nodes and launch double spending attacks against people who accept 0/unconfirmed transactions (or other attacks that utilize nodes as opposed to miners).

    That server drive with a capacity of 30 GB will be full well before the year is up, given current growth rates in block chain size:
    https://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size
    I like the idea, but drive space seems to be a real constraint on a plan like this.

    I just had my Orlando server go down for about the 7th time.

    I demanded an ip  reassignment and got it.

    You may have to re-install.

    Assuming you have the PPA already added (if you ran the bitcoinAutoNode.sh script, it is added), all you need to do is

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove bitcoind
    sudo apt-get install bitcoind

    If the PPA isn't added,

    Code:
    add-apt-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get remove bitcoind
    sudo apt-get install bitcoind

    Then after it installs type "bitcoind" to start it.

    @Morb

    Unrelated- did you ever get your p2pool going? I seen your post on reddit but I was never able to follow up on it. If you did, I'd love to bug the heck out of you to help me get one going Smiley

    I've set it up before but I'm terrible with mods/configs Tongue

    Yeah, I got it working: http://107.170.116.161:9332/static/

    Setup stuff here: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/286tv6/i_saw_a_lot_of_discussion_on_getting_miners_to/ci89fs7

    And I used this UI: https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy

    Excuse my newbness- when you remove bitcoind does this remove the blockchain as well? Meaning, when you hit install bitcoind it has to go through the whole dl process again?

    Asking for myself and others reading Smiley

    No, it doesn't remove anything in the ~/.bitcoin directory, only the bitcoind/bitcoin-cli stuff in theusr/bin folder, and possibly some other places too. After you reinstall it, it will start up at the last block it was up to prior to uninstalling.

    This was solved in IRC. For those following along at home: This is expected when you rebuild a server, because the ssh client no longer recognizes it. Fix it by running the provided 'ssh_keygen' command, on the CLIENT MACHINE where you're running ssh (not on the VPS).

    I have done once again all the steps to setup the node but unfortunately after the last reboot the node start and after a while stops to accept connections. If i type top i see that bitcoind run but here

    https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

    i see that my server is off
    When i type

    bitcoind getinfo

    the command line stuck and nonthing returns. I try to reinstall bitcoind, to erase.bitcoin folder but with no luck. Can i setup a node without anything else to that server? If i do a new clean install with only bitcoin installed what else i have to setup to run a node? I dont care about the website or anything else. I care only to run a node.
    Thank you

    I'm having similar issues with one of my nodes.  I'm going to have to try an uninstall reinstall today. Yes, all my nodes only run bitcoind.

    By any chance are you running a weloveservers node in Orlando? There have been a couple of people that had problems with that area's nodes that had to file tickets with them to move their VPS to a new location.

    Also, if you just want to install bitcoind with nothing else, no web UI or anything, just use this command:

    Code:
    wget -O btcNode.sh https://raw.github.com/XertroV/BitcoinAutoNode/master/bitcoinAutoNode.sh ; sudo bash btcNode.sh

    You can go here to see everything it does: https://raw.github.com/XertroV/BitcoinAutoNode/master/bitcoinAutoNode.sh
