In /cng/ we discuss node, api's, hardware, cloud computing services, and anything else related to node operations. if you want anything added to the op feel free to call me a faggot and let me know.
>FAQ >What tiers should I use with cloud providers? I don't know. I am learning. Tell me your findings and I'll add them Here is what my rough findings are Database instance - postgreSQL - amazon db.t3.small ~$30 a month Node instance - google cloud g1-small Geth intance - i dunno trying fiews at the moment. let me know
>How do you use chainlink adapters I dont know. You tell me or when I find out ill add it to here
Can I make money from running a node RIGHT NOW? If so, how?
Aaron Bell
Can we get a brainlet proof step by step guide?
Gavin Baker
not immediately. you must run a ropsten node for at least week with test jobs hitting the node every 10 minutes. after that you have to do a kyc with big baller sergey and perform node maintenance for them proving you can run one. i want this thread to make that a little easier
Zachary Anderson
Yes. Any large node operator would be stupid to not set up something similar
Luis Peterson
also your question was just added to the FAQ
Joshua Collins
I need to set up my database today. I think I'll slack off yet again.
Mason Jackson
ive been slacking the past 2 days on my vacation. today is better than tomorrow
Oliver Myers
Does your PC have to be running the whole time for your node to work? So if I have contract for 30 days, my node needs to be operating 24/7?
Ethan Adams
yes. thats why unless you have 2 isp's with a way to roll over in case of an outage along with a battery backup on your server that can withstand a power outage its recommended to run your node on a cloud provider. I have a home server and a battery backup but i dont have a second isp or equipment to roll it over. its less hassle with a cloud provider.
Justin Myers
So if I run it on a cloud provider, I could use let's say AWS to run it and fiews as the EaaS right? Or would it be simpler to do it on LP, although I have no shares?
It says in the security recommendations page to become registered, you need two chainlinks nodes running in two different servers. Would two AWS EC2 instances fulfill that requirement?
Tyler Bailey
i would imagine yes.
Liam Perry
Any particular reason you went with Google Cloud for the nodes over AWS? Is it cheaper?
Dominic Collins
$300 credit for new accounts is the only reason why i chose it. gave me some room to fuck up with and not go broke
Charles Reed
This
Thomas Sanchez
can't use LP I believe. But yes you can use AWS and fiews

>unlucky message ordering can result in honest nodes that have contributed partial signatures to Σ not receiving payment.
>So it says here you want to run an official node on our decentralized oracle network? We've been going through your resume and did background search into your personal life, and while your lack of work experience is not a problem, it has come to our attention that you've never even had a girlfriend, did you really think we wouldn't find out you're one of those Jow Forums losers who kept calling us names and we would allow you to be a node operator? KYC application denied, we instead recommend you to KYS.
