RE: How to create your own BitShares node for better access to the DEX

in #bitshares7 years ago

Great info and easy to follow but I was wondering where the max is:

What are the specs of some of the full nodes? Like in Hongkong? That one was fast even when carnage broke out and I couldn't connect to any node in Europe!

Sort:  

Max what?
Are you looking to make a public node? If you make a node just for yourself, specs won't matter much.

Yes, a public node. Basically I'm asking how to make money with BitShares because I love it and I want to support it here in Prague.

Technical support for making a public node can be found on Telegram, but you need to make money by other means. Here are some ideas:

  • Priority access for paying users
  • Make an exchange with a local fiat gateway.
  • Make a popular website and refer new users to BitShares
  • Consulting
  • Make markets and profit (which you can do right now)
  • Make a tiny Worker Proposal for providing a quality node in Europe

Can you explain your 5th point? To open a market you need to have a coin or asset right? or is there something I am missing?

Yes. Rather than having the coins you have gather dust, you can provide liquidity with them. There's a group dedicated to just that.
