Is there a Demand for Feathercoin VPS?
-
Hello all, I am just curious if there is any demand for Featercoin VPS (Virtual Private Server), in other worlds Virtual PCs to Host / Run your Feathercoin - Wallet on at all times, 24/7 so you don’t have to worry about Syncing your Wallet with the Network everytime you start Feathercoin - Wallet on your Home or Work PC.
Let me know your thoughts, if there is a demand for such a service, I may be able to offer a Feathercoin VPS Service for FTC and USD. Let me know.
Thanks,

So who’s going to be responsible for 100s of FeatherCoin wallets and their contents, yourself? What if you disappear? How about security? If you mean running two wallets, what benefits would I gain by running a VPS wallet, only to have send it to a home wallet that would need to sync as well? I’m sure this is a non starter, the blockchain is small anyway so it takes little time to sync locally, and I prefer to know where my wallets are at all times. I’d like to here other peoples opinions though.

Who is Responsible for FeatherCoin Wallets? Not me… You of-coarse are Responsible for your Own Wallet Regardless of whether or Not you want to Run your Wallet on your Local PC or on a Remote PC (VPS). On Remote PC (VPS) you will need to ensure you backup your wallet.dat file that’s all, keep it safe in various locations, on Dropbox maybe, and on your Local PC, and External Drive.
If I disappear, as long as you made sure to backup your wallet.dat it shouldn’t matter if I disappear your Wallet is still Secure with you…
Regarding Security, such as Preventing Users from Logging into your VPS, my first thoughts are… you would access your VPS over SSH a Secure Encrypted Tunnel through a SSH Client called Putty, then you would Login to your VPS from their via VNC a Remote Desktop Client. (i’m talking about Linux here as it would be much more secure than Windows). Then to Secure your SSH, we’d have an IP Blocker Automatically Setup where it would Block IPs after Several Attempts of Logins on your VPS from a Particular IP.
These are just my thoughts, I’m sure there may be better ways to Secure a VPS and open to discussing it, but that’s is even if a VPS is even a Need at All, which so far does not seem like so.

VPS would be nice period. For other uses.

There would. Maybe like a 0.01% comission or something small. I don’t know, there are plenty of free onlinewallets out there.
