It appears the only seed node on the B&C Exchange network is being run by sigmike. We ought to have at least one other. I would like to solicit offers from the community to do this for a fee. Out of fairness, I will offer sigmike the same fee.
Providing a seed node is quite simple. The requirements are that you have a permanent, static IP address so it can be hard coded in our source code in the next release, and in the .conf file before the next release. You will need to set server=1 in your config file, which means you will be serving the blockchain to other nodes, instead of just the blocks you mint. Practically speaking, you will need to run this on Linux. Given the decentralized nature of the network, 99% up time is probably sufficient. We want you to commit to it long term, preferably at least a year.
If interested, please reply indicating what you would charge and how long you are willing to commit to keep the seed node up. I’ll pick who does this (I expect it to be a modest expenditure), unless there seems to be a consensus from shareholders to have a direct vote about it. In that case, candidates will need to submit a motion proposing a contract to shareholders and then we will vote. I will disburse funds according to the terms of any passed motion.
