I manage wackou-delegate (3%) which I've had since the original launch of BitShares last year, and I just recently got btstools.digitalgaia (30%) voted in, for which I propose to further develop the bts-tools monitoring tools (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,12534.30.html and http://digitalgaia.io/btstools.html), and implement the following infrastructure to help mitigate DDoS attacks on the BitShares network (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,14501.0.html and http://digitalgaia.io/backbone.html)My short-term plan is to adapt the bts-tools now to also work with graphene witness clients and then write the software to handle the backbone nodes. I plan to (hopefully) have something running for the launch of BitShares 2.0 (which also means I'm going to run as witness for BitShares 2.0 I guess )

Good luck with this..I been attempting for the past week to get a dead delegate voted out but it continues to fester.delegate1.john-galtAs for my positions for minebitshares/bunkermining.. I have expressed time and again that the need for multiples is due to the limiting funding of the current model. The reality is we don't have 101, we have more like maybe 15 if that. Many developers have mulltiple 100% delegates.. and many older 3%ers that have been unresponsive in providing feeds.!My plan for my delegates when we get to 2.0 is to put in a single worker proposal, get that approved, and then wind up all my delegates down to 1 witness + 1 worker. This is detailed in my bid at http://vote.bunkermining.com Others we have not heard much from maybe because of other things.. be nice to hear where all the others are at.I manage the following delegates in the 101:delegate.rgcrypto - 100%sollywood.sollars-com - 100% -- managed servicewww.minebitshares-com - 3%www2.minebitshares-com - 3%minebitshares-reloaded - 100%minebts1.bunkermining-com - 100%Other delegates that are not in the 101 (though I think should be) that I provided managed services too are:delegate.kencodedelegate.dposhub-orgYou will note that among all the 101, I have maintained up to date feeds, and all of these delegates have operated with almost no downtime since we started managing them. Also note we are the only ones that can survive extreme conditions.. even the atomic kind.After our BunkerShares campaign we have new upgrades being done to our control panel and network infrastructure that is going to enable us to control servers in over 25 different locations worldwide from the bunker. I have plans to develop load balanced templates for any delegates we might manage so they have the option to have their servers run from a particular location as a primary and perhaps the bunker as a secondary.I run a nuclear bunker data center.. sooo kinda have a lot of resources to bring to this space. So there is my contribution to "The Purge"

Chemical, biological, nuclear.. natural disasters.. I got it covered.
Btw I wasn't referring to government crackdowns or illuminati or fancy schmanzy stuff like nuclear bombs or emps. What I was talking about were single points of failure where any Bob the builder with one of them mini diggers could accidentally take out a big percentage of the entire bitshares network.Happened to me just a couple of days ago where the entire city went offline and without power, just because of one single Bob the Builder mishap.In short is there a way to identify single points of failure on top of trying and distribute the network just a little across the globe? In case of a nuclear holocaust I'd be all up for joining the bitshares lan-party in your bunker, I'll even bring my own tinfoil so we can fold hats together, but that wasn't what I was talking about.

Indeed. Nothing paranoid here. It's happening.Anyway, I chuckled reading about 'paranoid undertones' from the guy who has his servers in fucking bunkers... hehe (just to be clear, I do think it's actually good that someone is doing that.. found it funny, is all)On a more serious note, anything we can do to diversity the network, we should. It's not just governments, also natural catastrophes, etc. If BitShares reaches critical mass, any such event causing a widespread interruption of the network is very bad news. I'm all for decentralizing as much as possible.
I am concerned with what appears to be a discussion descending into a strawman discussion with real world understand vs. General ideas of how distribution or decentralized can or should operate... I agree that diversity is good and thus why I have planned for it.. but the paranoid undertones to where this is going is entering tinfoil hat space and to some looking on make it appear as though we are fighting an active threat of shutdown when real it is a strawman. I don't know.. but how many bitcoin nodes were taken down by governments corporations or the illuminati?
What we have today is the physical (did you mean online?) equivalent of having a cop following you all the time, recording where you are, what you say, what you read, what you think, who do you talk to, how often you do, and about what.
It's not so much the provider that is anonymous, but the payment method
@Permie: I was alluding to the US being represented in blue (low corruption) in the map you linked. It is anything but. Many if not most of the civil right losses we have faced over the last decade and a half and a good chunk of the surveillance that has encroached our societies can in a large way be traced back to the US specifically, and to a lesser extend to the Anglo world (the 5 eyes). Corruption, deceit and totalitarianism are rampant. Yet somehow still mostly under the radar.
Haha US in blue, cool story bro

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_constructionIn August 2013, a report by Reuters revealed that the Special Operations Division (SOD) of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration advises DEA agents to practice parallel construction when creating criminal cases against Americans that are actually based on NSA warrantless surveillance.[1] The use of illegally obtained evidence is generally inadmissible under the Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.[2]Two senior DEA officials explained that the reason parallel construction is used is to protect sources (such as undercover agents or informants) or methods in an investigation. One DEA official had told Reuters: "Parallel construction is a law enforcement technique we use every day. It's decades old, a bedrock concept."

Is there a way to identify or measure geological distribution of the delegates? I'm starting to get the impression that a lot of the delegates are now clustering on a couple of small locations. Worst case scenario we'll have a large number of sockpuppet delegates with no actual separate infrastructure or benefit to security and robustness.EDITTake for example the 10 delegates or more databunker is managing are they all on the same network connection? Nothing personal to you Data, it's just that you posted here, I'm sure there are others doing the same thing.

There needs to be a clear proposal for how much money is needed to accomplish a specific task in some period of time. So, I think that even the 100% delegates that the community may want to keep as workers need to re-articulate their mission with a well thought out worker proposal and again present it to the community for a vote.
