Two Months Free Hosting ($100) with Digital Ocean's Hacktoberfest Promotion for New Accounts

in smartcash •  6 years ago  (edited)

Digital Ocean is an easy to use VPS provider that can inexpensively host a reliable server with 25GB SSD + 1GB memory that is required for SmartCash SmartNodes.

What's even better, is right now there is a promotion "hacktober" which will provide you with $100 credit at Digital Ocean to get started. The credit expires after 60 days, and with the $5/month VPS that means you can run 10 SmartNodes for two months for no cost!

It's easy. Just sign up with a referral link to be credited with $100 to your new account. You can use this one: https://m.do.co/c/2f12c27e57af

In case you are unfamiliar with Digital Ocean's hosting interface, here are the steps to get started to easily host your SmartCash SmartNode. You can also migrate your existing node over. Simply use the "edit smartnode" option in the SmartNode tab of the Node Client to view the GenKey to use on the Digital Ocean installer, add the new public IP address for the Digital Ocean droplet, and click "start alias". This will activate your new node. You will get your SmartNode rewards in about 2 days (if you want to be very efficient make this new node right after you get a reward so you don't lose any efficiency). You can destroy the old VPS as well.

Here are some of the steps to get started:

  1. Sign up for a Digital Ocean account using this referral link: https://m.do.co/c/2f12c27e57af
  2. Create a new project, you can call it "SmartCash SmartNodes".

  1. Click "Get Started with a Droplet". These are the individual VPS servers.
  2. Configure your droplet. The Ubuntu 18.04 image is what you want to use.

  1. Configure the size specs, 1GB Memory is what you want for $5/month.

  1. Choose a region for hosting. Any region is fine.

  1. Go ahead and create it! Digital Ocean will create the Droplet and email you the login information. The Digital Ocean console is one way to access it, and it supports right click copy. You can also use PuTTY or any other SSH app that you've used before.
  2. For the sake of completeness, I will mention again the links to configure your SmartNode (full guide here). Just do the following:

Type in:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartCash/smartnode/master/install.sh

Then press enter.

Then type

bash ./install.sh

Remember, if you are are just moving your SmartNode to a new host just re-use the old GENKEY!

That's it! Enjoy the two months of free hosting from Digital Ocean.

Thanks, this sounds like a good option I should give a try. I did get involved with mining smartcash for a short bit and have some in one of my wallets. I'm sure it's not much. It would be interesting to give this low cost trial a little effort.

Why are the votes so high and the rewards miniscule?

Posted using Partiko Android

Tested out every resteem and upvote service that could be found. Likely there were many accounts with low steem power that voted.
