SENT team won 2 out of 3 phases of Game Of Zones GoZ by winning aginst more then 100 other validators

Powell just worked his way through the inflation announcement. BTC gonna fkn moon and SENT being a small cap will outperform it. It’s altszn baby.

OG here. Been in crypto since 2013.

Remember these words: All you have to do is buy promising Cosmos smallcaps now and hodl.

That’s literally all you have to do.

Ignore highcap pumps, ignore shitty defi yield farming scams, even ignore midcap pumps (will be difficult to not fomo). Smallcaps come last every cycle and get rewarded the heaviest.

Buy as much damn SENT as you can today and over the next few days and you will be extremely wealthy in a few months.

I promise you this. The stars are aligning perfectly.

>>21925673
nailed it to be fair
v good advice
markets are counterintuitive always

realistic 5-yr price predictions?

>>21925732
This is also..

Realistic eoy predictions if this bullrun keeps up and we push over 500billion total mcap?

Also.. I looked at hosting a node and it seems quite technical, will it get easier?

>>21925849
yeah the v3 client will have a much simplified user experience you will be able to luanch a node with one single click

>>21925732
Over 10 bil cap as every vpn will migrate to sentinel and governments try to censor and limit freedom more and more

>>21925433
when main net ?

Saw from previous threads that Sentinel leaks IPv6 but from these two screenshots I can't see that it does. Seems my standard IP it is not detected. Cont

>>21926054
i thought the relay network is not up yet, so a something like this could potentially happen currently.

>>21925673
Cosmos as in ATOM? Are all of these coins running off of Cosmos?

>>21925969
main net will come q4 this year but before that happens there are many planned releases:

-public release of the IOS app
-V3 client update with microservice api
-wireguard integration
-private nets
-Sentinel Node Management Tools
-incentivized tendermint 3 blockchain testnet
-reveal of sentinel team
-launch of a for profit corporation in switzerland
-main net launch of sentinel DPOS blockchain

>>21926132
yeah SENT will launch its own cosmos chain later this year giving multiple utility to the token :

SENT is a staking token, when main net will launch q4 this year , you will be able to stake your coins and earn yearly yield of 15-25% in exchange for securing the chain, yield will vary depending on which validator you choose to delegate your tokens, some will have higher fees for higher security some the opposite.

SENT is also a payment token for the dVPN and a governance token for upgrades and management of the community pool (which one day might be worth millions like dcr or cosmos pool).

SENT dVPN nodes will also be able to stake SENT on their node as a trust bond to ensure quality of service to customers (and for subscriptions).

SENT staked will also earn you part of the revenue from the dvpn nodes (they will have a service , maintenance and network tax imposed on them it will be minimal and they will still be much cheaper then centralized competitors)

there will be various other secondary usecases and products launched on sent own chain that will produce continuous revenue, for example an internal dex to allow anybody to pay for the dVPN in any token.

probably you will also be able to pay data centers to host a node for you and get the profit generated in return, this way any sent holder will be able to become a vpn provider

>>21926054
However this is on a sentinel node and I noticed it's hosted by a commercial data? Not that there is anything wrong with that, just interesting they are already hosting on the testnet. Does that still make it dVPN?

No IPv6 leak though.

>>21926256
sentinel is built to de -silo the bandwidth sharing market, both commercial data centers and normal users will be able to sell and buy bandwidth on the same platform, legacy commercial VPN will be able to integrate directly with sentinel chain by hosting nodes or they could launch their own private nets, they will gain a bigger userbase ,and they will be able to offer the multi hop relay net to their customers, imagine bouncing your traffic like this :
mullvad node > expressvpn node > normal user >x normal users

this way if even one of them is honest you are safe (you can pay to bounce through as many nodes as you want )

>>21926187
thanks for the info! What other coins will be on/utilizing Cosmos?

>>21926522
https://cosmonauts.world/ this should be the full list

its obvious projects are switching away from ethereum to cosmos and polka , eth will never manage to scale, eth 2.0 phase 0 doesn't improve scalability in any way it just launches a way to lock eth so they can exit scam, smart projects know that the multi chain approach is the only sustainable one , every chain will gain max customizeability and it will allow development of any feature needed, for example sentinel vision wouldn't be possible on eth cause the chain forces you to use only ETH to pay for gas, instead on sent chain any token will be able to be used as fee creating a friction-less user experience without the need to hold 2 tokens to use 1 dapp, you will also have very fast confirmations times with instant finality , so you won't have to wait to know if your txn has gone through, you will be able to just tap a button and be done with it.

cosmos chains are built with interoperability in mind, IBC will create a strong and growing ecosystem , and for the projects that don't want to launch their own chain there will be a cosmos version of the ethereum virtual machine , most projects will be able to port with one single click and new developers will be easily on boarded thanks to the new web assembly virtual machine

>>21925732
>>21925949

I'll say between 0 and 500 million as once it takes off more and more people will buy in. Either for cheap VPN or to sell their bandwidth.

Strong project

>>21926410
Sentinel is here to disrupt the vpn businness like uber did with taxis

>>21927560
At a time when online privacy and awareness of LE datamines is going mainstream, and trust in government is at an all time low worldwide. Plus it's simple as could be to use. SENT will blow up within 12 months.

>>21927560
I thought that was orchid... How is this any different?

All aboard the sent bus. Charts look so good!

>>21927978
to host a orchid node you have to ask orchid team, and they partnered with pia which is a well known mossad honeypot, also they have one of the worst distribution in crypto, maybe worse then ripple

>>21927560
Sentinel is the Amazon of bandwidth.
Sentinel will do to bandwidth what Amazon has done to retail goods. Amazon has revolutionized retail goods by giving everybody a global platform on which to sell and buy goods. Sentinel will do the same, it will give everybody the possibility to sell and buy bandwidth in a verifiable way on an open and decentralized market with out middlemen. Before Amazon, everybody had to sell only locally and advertising was expensive, now everybody can send goods all over the world and has the ability to reach a global market place. Imagine when normies understand they can get paid for their unlimited bandwidth with out doing anything, or buying bandwidth at a much lower cost then on centralized VPNs. It is similar to unlocking free money that people always had lying around but never knew about. This previously unmonetized bandwidth was locked down by the incumbents, gatekeepers, and middlemen. But with Sentinel, suddendly everybody will be able to sell and buy bandwidth in a global market place, making bandwidth the first fully digital fungible commodity. This is an untapped market, potentially worth billions.

>>21927978
Orchid is stuck on ethereum, which, in case you didn’t notice, is broken.

They also have no plans to implement interoperability thus sticking to the old empire model of 2017/18, which will not wash this time around.

Sentinel already has 150k active users globally and when users can pay using google play or apple pay without even thinking about crypto, this will hit millions.
(N.b. SENT token will still and always will be integral to the network to pay our nodes and validators)

Blockchain networks will be valued by throughput. Sentinel will hit $1b mcap in the next couple of years without a shadow of a doubt.

>>21925339
Make it stack? Suicide stack?

>>21928217
2m is the make it stack
500k is the suicide stack

>>21925466
>>21925506
>>21925894
Holy fuck. I love this project more and more. Just tripled my stack.

>>21925339
These threads are super cringe

Just sold 2 million. Obviously pump and dump. Also dont like that team is anonymous. Would rather hold orchid (OXT) on coinbase exchnage

>>21928519
nothing is known about the integrity of the devs? pretty much inexcusable in this day and age surely. it didn't even 'click' that the team page was non-existent. huh. ok. yeah well fuck that then. shame.

is this confirmed?

>>21928519
>>21928632
team will be revealing itself before main net and establishing a corporation in Switzerland, and even if it wasn't the case sent team has a proven track record of delivering code for 2 years and they got multiple delegations from cosmos team signaling they have gained trust.
imagine holding OXT with this kind of distribution
https://medium.com/@cryptowhalex/must-read-blockchain-data-shows-most-projects-hoarding-70-90-of-their-own-altcoins-supply-675ce0b21a81

on top of that orchid is unusable cause of eth transactions fees

160k enough to make it?

>>21928519
>Would rather hold orchid (OXT)
I know you're trying to fud to pick up cheap SENT bags but you don't have to be so obvious about it anon

>>21928053
Sentinel should work in china too, right ?

>>21929329
people living in the west, can't fathom that they live in the most restrictive market regimes,where every price is fixed by a central authority, the monopoly on the pricing and supply of money is in the hands of powerful hidden interests, that now are trying to extend their powers through mass surveillance, be it in the form of a centralized digital currency like china is prepping or social networks that steal user data.

if anyone has been to China, you would know that centralized VPN's have problems getting past China's huge censorship wall
they work for a while, before China finds their servers and blocks them
then they have to find a new server
and China finds it again
and it goes on and on
and the internet speeds are so slow with a centralized vpn
They mostly ban data center ip ranges
Good luck when literally any household in the world can become exit node thanks to SENT v2ray implementation, and infrastructure can be moved easily and separated across many locations

>>21925339
It will plummet to like maybe 1000 users when you actually have to pay to use it

>>21930262
there is always some customer retention, also keep in mind that sentinel will offer cheaper subscriptions then any other centralized VPN, there was an app that already tried to monetize sentinel but got taken out from the playstore, so there is people willing to pay for this.
the money gained from subscription will be partly used to buy adds thus growing the userbase, with the added benefit that many teams will be building on sent so even if one of the whitelabel apps fail the other ones will succeed

>>21929990
V2ray is an absolutely based protocol, its one of the few that can avoid detection from the great firewall
>>21930262
Stay mad oxt shill, sent has more users then any of the other crypto bags you are holding

What and who is Komodo? How does the bpsaa make number go up?

>>21931535
What's the bpsaa? Sounds like the shitcoin alliance.

>>21931716
All the members are solid projects from what I know. Pirate and sentinel are killing it. Now with Komodo onboard the next few months are going to interesting.

Imagine buying a shitcoin like oxt when Sentinel exists.

>>21932611
Ask your wife's boyfriend.

>>21932348
Fiat like a normie should. For all intent and purpose they won't even know about the token on the B2C end.

>>21932547
i've held komodo for a while on the strength of the dev. same guy who did supernet, bitcoindark and others. seems legit, and of his abandoned projects he still offers to buy old coins for his current project KMD. i think most people on biz just haven't been in crypto long enough to have heard of him.

>>21933724
>buy old coins for his current project
*with.
i think he's offering like 30 KMD for one SuperNet...not that i suppose anyone here has any.

komodo is a very well recognized project and they have a tons of people working on them and a very wide community, they built a fully decentralized atomic swap dex, they are OGs

Best memes in the game, rivaling based

>>21932348
Discussion with regards to the future:

The Sentinel network will be transitioning from an anonymous underground 'dVPN' project into a real-world organization that has the aim of 'decentralizing the VPN ecosystem'.

The multi-billion Dollar VPN industry is rapidly expanding due to the utility of the VPN in almost every jurisdiction on earth. Whether it is for accessing geo-restricted content or increasing the security of the transmission of data being accessed over the internet, individuals all over the world are demanding for secure, cheap and reliable VPN services.

Sentinel will be working with entrepreneurs and existing organizations to help them establish their own white-labelled VPN company at minimal cost or difficulty.

The question is, why would entrepreneurs want to work with Sentinel?

Painpoints/barriers to entry for a new VPN organization:
1) Cost of client development (mobile/desktop)
2) Management of nodes/handling DCMA requests
3) Potential security threats/risk of getting hacked

Sentinel is pumping and it’s not stopping this side of 65 sats

How can Sentinel help?

1) Free open-source clients available for branding customization

2) Community-based network of node farms (example Alpha) who have the ability to abstract away the difficulties of DCMA mitigation from the VPN companies

3) Provably end-to-end encrypted ?dVPN? network

The responsibilities of the VPN companies include:
1) Legal registration and integration with the on-ramp
2) Proprietary method of customer acquisition (e.g demographically targeted SEO/SEM campaigns)

Sentinel team have serious talent

Good thread. Great to see Sentinel finally gaining awareness and in a solid uptrend!

>>21933724
Agreed. Strong project.

>>21925406
https://stats.sentinel.co

Ready to buy those 8million tokens on idex from some fool.

Do you think your user base will stay or leave upon mainnet? I think the real challenge will be to get users to pay. Not impossible though just don't follow how orchid do it they have spent millions and can't get anyone to use their service.

>>21932348
The Sentinel dVPN will remain active and will cater to the crypto community, allowing for payment through SENT token, and other Cosmos IBC supported tokens and stablecoins.

VPN companies white-labeled on the Sentinel dVPN will cater to the mainstream audience and accept only fiat payment with conversion happening in the back-end through on-ramps.

Sentinel is currently in discussion with several on-ramp providers, and the integration of fiat for payment of VPN subscriptions is essential before shift to mainnet.

The on-ramp would have the responsibility of converting the fiat into the SENT tokens before it is distributed to the trusted community ?node farms?.

We have exhibited tremendous growth in the usage of the network reaching all-time-high records in usage on a regular basis ? stats.sentinel.co - , now lets convert this into a monetized economy.

Development required for this vision to commence:
1) Completion/launch of Private Nets
2) Completion/launch of V2 Clients
3) Subscription based payment models and bandwidth metering

Tentatively we will be expecting to see the completion of these releases (minus advanced payment models) by the end of May

We are expecting to commence the white-labeling with the first member of the enterprise ecosystem being SpiderVPN UK

>>21925339
Daily reminder: decentralized VPN’s are a meme. Also this was biz flavor of the month last year kek.

>>21932470
Was 80 eth yesterday, 60 eth now, its getting chewed through very fast

>>21936862
they said BTC was a meme too, too bad you are gonna miss out on the cosmos ecosystem pump

>>21936862
ride sharing is a meme
selling goods on the net is a meme
you are a meme

The partnership with komodo is huge

SENT shills are sounding increasingly uneducated and desperate. the original group of shills y'all had were at least pretty good at their jobs

>>21938827
Im just a bit tired anon

for anyone that wants to host a openvpn sentinel dVPN node, here is a video walk through :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK2cd731Jr4 [Embed]

here is a github text guide:

https://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel/blob/master/vpn-node-docker/README.md

here is a github guide for the ikev 2 nodes:

https://github.com/sentinel-official/sentinel/tree/ikev2_modifications/ikev2-node

after main net SENT will also launch its own multi hop relay net which will initially have 3 types of nodes:

-relay node which will never come in contact with unencrypted dats thats what normal users will host it will only relay traffic between themself and to a exit nodes
-normal exit nodes which will require more expert users and will be subject to the same precautionary measures as when you host a tor node.
-tor exit node here the exit node funnels the data into tor its thought for people that run tor nodes already to offer them revenue for their service

you will be able to exit directly into tor think of it as a way to reach security through layering:
your pc > relay node 1 > relay node 2 > relay node 2 >....any x n relay >> exit node > tor exit node > tor entry > tor relay > tor exit.
(you can add as many relay nodes as you want, if even one of them is safe you will be protected from surveillance)
