Waiting for boomPoW v2 support on the NanoRPCProxy: https://github.com/Joohansson/NanoRPCProxy/pull/131

the PR adding support for BPoW v2 to NanoRPCProxy (that's used by 2 or 3 nault community nodes) can be tracked here: https://github.com/Joohansson/NanoRPCProxy/pull/131

Or if you need to watch a particular address you can bookmark the link. For example, to watch the saviour binance refund bot using api.nanos.cs:

https://powernode.cc/api or https://api.nanos.cc/ , also MyNanoNinja has one I believe

You can send RPC request to one of the public Nano nodes. This is pretty simple with this website: https://api.nanos.cc/

Public APIs - Anyone who uses my nanoissuperior or nanoarcade public API please change this to another such as https://api.nanos.cc/

NanoRPCProxy sits between the node and the open internet and allows configuring which aspects of the node can be controlled remotely and by who.

It uses nanos.cc as default RPC and bitrequest.app/rpc/ (my node) as a secondary, because mine is really slow somehow. Haven't figured out why yet. nanos.cc is really fast!

I have set up a local nano node using docker via this guide. Its up and running and in sync. RPC commands work fine, I can successfully send/receive funds using the send and receive RPC commands. I would like to experiment a bit with the work server in order to offload the POW to my GPU. Everything runs on the same local machine and I am running Ubuntu 21.04. So far I can't seem to be able to utilize the nano work server via the node. I tried adding it as a peer using curl -g -d '{ "action" : "work_peer_add", "address" : "127.0.0.1", "port" : "7077"}' localhost:7076 but no luck. When I run the send RPC command or the work_generate command in both cases the work_server is not utilized at all. I can currently query the work server (not via the node) like so curl -g -d '{ "action": "work_generate", "hash": "0"}' localhost:7077 and it indeed returns valid work utilizing my GPU. Bare in mind that I run my work server using the following arguments ./nano-work-server -g 0:0 -c 0 -l 127.0.0.1:7077 since I want to utilize only my GPU. I am not sure how to debug this or what the right approach is. Any input on how to debug this or an alternative setup/approach is greatly appreciated. Let me know if more details are required.

The above command can be modified, depending on your set-up. See the documentation or, in the terminal:

there are Windows binaries here https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-work-server/releases

I think making a node now will not help, but you can help people with stuck transactions to confirm their transactions, there is a discord server where people ask to the workers to confirm their blocks(rebroadcasting the transactions with higher proof of work), you can use your computer to make this PoW to these people using this script with nano-work-server

As been notified via TNC the dpow service will soon be shut down with the hope that someone else will develop something better. This will not affect my services since I use boomPow as primary source but if you run the NanoRPCProxy (which has support for both dpow and bpow) you may want to know I have an update in the pipeline. It will soon also support a custom work server that can work independently or as a fallback for boomPoW. Just hook it up to any GPU/CPU work server and you will be good. You can also set any amount of work peers in the node config and enable the "use_work_peers" parameter in the settings.

git clone https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-work-server.git cd nano-work-server cargo build --release

Another option is to set up a work server to send "work_generate", https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-work-server

I think you will not be able to achieve this efficiency using opengl, but only opencl. You can use opencl with nano-worker-server: https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-work-server

And if you want to run a worker to delegate your own PoW for your computer, I would say that P2PoW is not necessary. You can use only one nano-work-server https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-work-server/
