I'm setting up some more permanent nodes today so will have 5 in total, I'll keep you updated.
CV2 is cheap, when we consider the long term potential of this coin.
How to add a permanent CV2 seed node?
How to add/ setting up more permanent CV2 seed nodes?
Setting up a node is pretty straightforward, I like
https://crowncloud.net/ because it has the cheapest rates for powerful virtual private servers. The most affordable option is the 2GB RAM for $30 a year. A VPS is useful not only for nodes (as you can host multiple nodes on a single VPS) but for general Linux usage, setting up websites, deployable programs etc. I generally prefer Ubuntu 14.0.4 64 bit for nodes.
I assume you are running Windows
-Once you have your ip address and password you will need to install PUTTY so you can connect to your VPS
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.zip-Open up PUTTY.exe, type in your ip address, login with "root" and your supplied password.
-Next you will need to install dependencies and a couple useful tools like zip and nano text editor. Copy each line and right-click in the PUTTY window in order to paste the text.
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git zip make g++ nano build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev
-Now we clone from source
git clone
https://github.com/Crestington/ColossusCoin2.git-build the necessary leveldb
cd ColossusCoin2/src/leveldb
sh build_detect_platform build_config.mk ./
-Navigate back to the src folder and make the daemon
cd
cd ColossusCoin2/src
make -f makefile.unix
-Will take a little time to build the daemon, approximately 10 minutes or so depending on the speed of the VPS. Once complete we will run the daemon first, it will fail first time as it is creating the .ColossusCoin2 directory which houses the wallet.dat and Blockchain data.
./ColossusCoin2d
-Now we will create the .conf file and add in all up to date nodes (just copy and paste everything from cat to CONFIG and make sure to set a unique username a password)
cat << "CONFIG" >> ~/.ColossusCoin2/ColossusCoin2.conf
listen=1

CONFIG
-Now we run the daemon and it will begin syncing up to the highest chain.
./ColossusCoin2d
I like crowncloud as well. I'll set up more ColossusCoin2 nodes on
