Run Your Own Node - Avado Görli Demo Session Stefaan Ponnet, Avado - GoerliCon 0|4

setting up are you ready to go yeah you sure I'm very should I leave you alone from you got it you got it they gave you a big round of applause you start would be nice all right okay good afternoon and in the meanwhile I think it's already like 12 o'clock I'm here to present evaldo which is sort of like the extension of what that note is doing this is an example of the box we are providing basically that note in a box so we are actually the first hardware provider of dab notes we are participating together with them and we are sort of trying to make it even more convenient for people to run an own note at home so we sort of have chosen some hardware's we've checked different setups and we also on the website who you can see that we provide different setups on like different price points whatever you want to spend on it or what your needs are to run for it it comes pre-installed with that note obviously and we are trying to also to give supports to get it set up so if people just want to start an run it's that they don't have to go to the open source project that's such and asking the same set of questions over and over again so we're trying to upload little bits there their support well one of the benefits for us also to give that support is that we have standardized hardware so like setting up drivers or incompatible Wi-Fi card sense of fourths that's the thing of the past and often we see that these are typical questions that are asked in the like in-depth note channels so our mission is to get more of these full notes actually in people's houses so because there's an option so if you download the app note software you still have to either buy your software where yourself or people sometimes are tempted to to hire an AWS instance for example or or another like cloud hosts box and installed app not over there but obviously it doesn't really make sense because then you're not decentralizing you just put in the clouds so we really want to support the decentralization by enabling people to run it at their home so what's in the box so currently we have three models a model that you see over here it has an Intel i5 the 16 gigabytes of RAM a very beefy SSD storage that's one terabyte and it also has a Wi-Fi access point of course it come with the Deb node pre-installed and so the whole idea is that once you unbox the box and you just plug it into the power you just plug it into your router and it just boots up and like two or three minutes later you see an access point popping up which you can't connect to and you can change the Wi-Fi passwords of your box and while you're doing that it's already synchronizing the chain and with this setup it's it has a parity each chain by default installed it takes somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes sing the full chain so it's very very quick but it also comes with is an NFT token so we provide an eater cards like this plastic card with a pop key and a scratch of service with with a private key which contains an NFT token which issued by the DEP Note Association as sort of a guarantee of authenticity of the software that's on it but we also use it for the guarantee so the guarantee on the hardware itself like a two-year guarantee on the hardware and that's what the NFT token is for at this time currently it's two are targeted towards three main groups of people so first of all our developers so I'm like a nitiram developer myself so for me it's very cube rustam to have like in a chain running on my computer because it's takes way too much disk space and so forth so I can just upload it to that device also I travel a lot so if I'm in a plane and I come into like a public Wi-Fi network sometimes difficult to get st. or it's like overloads Network and whatnot so that's another benefits so I can just dial in because it comes as P from the app not already explained with a VPN connection so I can just remotely dial into it and just get started so we if I'm here I can just now dial in to the VPN in my box at home I have like synchronized ET room chain I have an IPS server at my availability and so forth so that's sort of the first target through the developers second target target group are read like the early adopters of this internalization if you just say like I really feel that for example if you're a way of working is a bad thing so and I wouldn't support a network you can just get a box in your home and run your own each changes to support the network or if you're concerned about privacy so you can so when you're connected to either the Wi-Fi access points or to the VPN automatically all the traffic is routed through a hostname that that points to your your etherium nodes so that means all transactions that you do to meta mask or even with my crypto and so forth you can just do it from your local node so you're never disclosing your IP address to someone else where you're doing your transactions from thirds and and currently last group that we're targeting are just community supporters so people that don't really have like the technical skills to set all that software up but they say yeah just when it supports my network or the project I'm working with maybe they have downloadable software that they have that you can install and it's very easy using the package manager to have its installed and just like people who do supports that specific community can use it so and interestingly enough what happens if you have adapt node at home so we installed boxing you have like three aspects so the first aspect is that the network and the bandwidth so your internet connection is mostly paid for as so you have it at your availability now that that node opens the possibility is to sort of sir print a part of your network in a later stage so if the network connectivity the fact that you work 24/7 available also opens a lot of possibilities if you would like to participate in a later stage improve state networks for example or like state channel stuff then it's very important to be 24/7 available and you have of course the disk space available so there are like networks we are talking to right now for example life beer day supports system where you can sort of relay data so we need to store that data temporarily so you can sort of gain an income through selling or so printing your band - it's in your disk space so any of these combinations offers enormous opportunities to to do stuff together yeah so these are the things I already talked about it's also possible to run multiple Network so it's not limited to a theorem alone you can install Bitcoin Manero daemons and so forth and so the whole concept of any of these combinations of the three aspects band - it's the disk space and the availability is what we call the smart mining so we can sort of contribute and potentially earn crypto running software so it's not a reality right now it's has the potential to do it so to come back to to gorilla so we had a good presentation of how to roll your own packages and as a contribution to the to the girli network we took used app note SDK which is really super easy to to work with so I can really recommend it if you want to try it out to build your own package and so we took the existing girli get package which was already published by the DEP nodes Association and we reconfigured it so we sort of extended it with a small web server inside of the package which allows you to configure your girly client as a validator so I myself I I participated or I contributed to the network by saying okay I want to be a validator so I had my my Avada books running anyway so we extended the package so you can upload your key file there you can set your passwords and then quickly like in all the other configuration parameters you need to do the like the publishing of the stats and so forth so it's very easy to do so it means you don't really have to dive into the depth package itself and roll your own and put your like sort of hard code your own configuration parameters so that's basically what we added to the package so it's also available we also publish it to an ENS link but unfortunately I wanted to give a demo here but I didn't manage to get it set up because you need to wire it to to The Lancet through cable so and there's no cable available here so it just you'll have to do it with a screen shot for now unfortunately so that's about it what I wanted to say so if you want to check it out here's the website so if you want a some more info for the get one feel free thank you thank you crash ah yeah how much yeah the thing is so we decided to be sort of consistent with the way that we that we want to work we only accept dye in our webshop and I'll quickly open the shop so yeah I can show it to you because I know the prices by heart so if you go here you have to select your country for the v80 calculation so these are the three models that we have so we did the the box that you see here so with a one terabyte drive and that's like the main factor that drives the price so it sells that's 1099 die which comes with in an Intel i5 and 16 gigs of ram then we have the avada i-tree which comes with an Intel i3 and eight gigabytes of RAM and then a 512 gig SSD drive is 735 and then like the smallest one like which we call the community supporter of other nodes so it's it's able to synchronize the chain and so forth but it's not really possible or feasible to to run like two or three or four chains in in parallel but if you just want to run one chain and maybe so one like proof of stake validate or something or maybe a girli validator you could go with that one which is 365 it has four gigabytes of RAM in at 265 gigabytes SSD storage so is that answer to your question not a question in the room or he wants going twice sold nice thank you thank you [Applause]
