@ManfredKarrer, I've assigned you to this role, as I believe you're the only contributor running pricenode(s) at the moment.

[cbeams]

I've assigned @Emzy and @mrosseel here, as both are also running pricenodes, per https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange/blob/f73395f6f1e578909f81d4f3b5be80211ae3e01a/core/src/main/java/io/bisq/core/provider/ProvidersRepository.java#L37-L41

[cbeams]

I've just assigned myself to this role, as I have now taken over one of @ManfredKarrer's pricenodes. See the commit / PR above for details.

2018.02 report

This is my first report, now that (per the comment above), I've now taken over one of Manfred's pricenode onion addresses.

This pricenode is now backed by code at the HEAD of my cbeams/bisq-pricenode:refactor branch, which will be merged asap (see bisq-network/bisq-pricenode-deprecated#7). See my comment in Pricenode Maintainer (#5) for more details on that.

In any case, I'm servicing between 25 and 40 clients with this pricenode at any given time, and it looks like it's going to run me around $7 / month on Heroku to keep it running.

2018.03 report

Alas, I have still not finished the review and merge of bisq-network/bisq-pricenode-deprecated#7, and therefore other pricenode operators have not yet upgraded to it. In the meantime, however, my pricenode instance, which is built from that PR branch, has been up and running without issue for a couple months. So I think we can call it a well-tested change at this point ;)

Note that @sqrrm attempted to start running his own pricenode this month, but ran into issues with his hosting provider. This instance was being built from the PR branch above as well, and that all seemed to work out fine for him. Good luck, @sqrrm, on getting your pricenode up and running elsewhere soon.

2018.04 report

My instance ran without any issues on Heroku this month at a cost of $7.00. I'm running v0.7.1-SNAPSHOT from commit bisq-network/bisq-pricenode@545887c.

@Emzy and @mrosseel, could you please report here on this issue about the pricenode instances you're operating in the same way that @ManfredKarrer and I have done above? Thanks.

Cycle 58 report

I had a problem with the VPS my pricenode was running on and it was offline for a while. Fortunately I reinstalled it with the old onion address that I made a backup for.
I had a problem with the installation scripts for collectd and I am still working on restoring monitoring, but the pricenode is running.
