We (Blockchain Projects BV) would like to give an update on the matters of this infrastructure worker.
FaucetSo far, our partner bitshares.eu (who runs the reference faucet for us) has created over
15,000 accounts with
30 upgrades to LTMThe faucet account (onboarding.bitshares.foundation) is owned by committee-account and active keys
are escrowed by the BitShares Blockchain Foundation for us to use for account creation.
The worker has funded that account with 25,000 BTS so far with ~7,000 BTS left in the account and
over 18,000 BTS available to be claimed from the referral program. This means that so far,
the faucet can be operated without providing further funds.
We have further asked bitshares.eu to implement a status page for the reference onboarding which now
now also comes with a map of locations where users registered from. You can find this status page here:
https://bitshares.eu/referral/onboarding/onboarding.bitshares.foundationFurther progress on that status page will be commissioned as we progress further.
This completes milestone 1Docker containerA docker-compatible deployment has been developed and integrated into BitShares-core. This feature
will be available with the next release (which will be a non-hardfork release as per the core developers).
We further added integration into docker-hub which automatically builds docker-containers with every
tag produced on the bitshares-core repository.
Documentation of the docker container and it's usage will follow today or later this week.
This completes milestone 2Orchestration toolingWe have made significant progress on the orchestration tooling which comes with the following stack
of software:
* bitshares-docker
* bitshares-healthchecker
* haproxy
* certbot/letsencrypt
* munin monitoring
* nagios monitoring
Right now, we are looking for internal accounting and finance to give a go for ordering the first machines
for real-environment staging deployment.
This leads to milestone 3 being completed by 80%DeploymentAs soon as we have a go from internal accounting and finance, we will obtain first servers and deploy
redundant nodes in the U.S. (as per the milstone).
So far, we are still looking into a proper DNS to be able to offer load-balanced domains with recognizable
branding.
BillingSo far, no bills have been send to the BBF.
