🚨 NEW WHITELABEL 🚨 December 19th, 2022 - Validator BlueFrenDAO has officially announced that they are developing a Sentinel whitelabel app. The announcement tweet includes the logo and the name of the product: BlueVPN. BlueFrenDAO first publicly discussed creating a whitelabel app in September. See this S.I.N. post for the previous coverage. Tweet: https://twitter.com/bluefrenDAO/status/1604853352038367232?t=QqHdRq8RdiwJdrP4dW7 No information available yet on the release schedule or which platforms it will be available on. This new, third whitelabel in the Sentinel ecosystem is believed to be separate from the one that the Sentinel project team already announced is on the way in September; meaning the number of Sentinel whitelabels will be four once that whitelabel also ships (Solar, Meile, Blue, and mystery whitelabel).

Thanks to our friends @hns, our community node hosts are able to track and show off usage on their nodes seamlessly. The @HNSOSS software has made hosting a node easier than ever. We are excited to see how our community continues to use this software to expand our node network. https://t.co/07vJZyd4KQ

Even #ChatGPT knows why a decentralized VPN is superior to a regular VPN. https://t.co/IQV5VwRm4A

Our decentralized VPN is already helping people in Iran, China, and many other countries that openly repress people from accessing a free unrestricted internet. The guise of "safety for children" doesn't justify such authoritarian curtailment of freedoms. #OnlineSafetyBill https://t.co/9vJTRv50sL I regret to inform you that Labour are also going all in against VPNs, because (as they say) 16 year olds will use them to bypass the Bill's UK-wide age verification walls.

🤪 Big update 😭 First month of t.me/Free_dVPN_Bot was amazing! We got more than 4,000 activations, which means we doing the right thing. As we promised before, we wanted to make free usage not only for 1 month, but for a long time. So news is: now everyone can send Sentinel Address to bot again and get 25 DVPN for free!

🛟 Better safe than sorry! No secret — dVPN is promising. Even the villains know that. Malicious actors are constantly trying to steal your dVPN gems. Of course, we won't let you down. If someone has SOLAR Labs logo, distributes apps or claims to be SOLAR Labs representative — make sure they're listed on our all-new verification page. Remember: SOLAR Labs employees would never ask you for your mnemonic or SOLAR ID password. Authentic SOLAR Labs apps are distributed ONLY via App Store, Google Play and official website. We do not provide support anywhere but on our official resources. Stay safe, SOLAR Labs Team ❤️

@everyone New linux release available. Highlights include: 📡 Persistent real-time bandwidth progress even when switching between nodes. Bandwidth usage will be remembered while the app is running 📡 Unicode level support for bandwidth meter in nodes. 🩹 Multiple issue fixes https://www.meile.app

The key focus areas for remaining weeks in November: -Completion and launch of Sentinel's new website -Creation and expansion of dedicated support groups for builders on Solar Labs iOS/Android open-source framework -Reinstatement of node incentivization structure in order to increase node count in preparation for additional white label applications -Community testing and reporting of V2Ray protocol nodes being introduced by MathNodes team, in preparation for focused marketing campaigns and applications targeting Chinese users (and other sensitive jurisdictions where WireGuard does not perform properly)

Do androids dream of source code? Earlier this autumn we released SOLAR dVPN: Community Edition source code for iOS on Github. Today we taking one step further by releasing it for Android too! By making source code of apps for both mobile platform available to everyone we made a biggest contribution to the Sentinel's community. Start building today by checking our GitHub for the source code of the Android app.

big release today or tomorrow

Let's slightly speak about types of control over Internet connection. As many things in life, they can be bros / not bros. Government tries to control you in the Web: 🙅‍♂️ not bro You control everything about your internet connection's safety and privacy: 🙋‍♂️ BRO We added Apple Watch app for SOLAR dVPN on iOS – because we're your Bro and want to make Internet a better place for you. Have some trouble with connection to any site, service or application? Just tap the button and enjoy fast and secure connection with SOLAR dVPN! Update your iOS app or download it from the scratch if you didn't have (why? 🤔) SOLAR dVPN installed: solarlabs.ee

[ Video ] Real TIme Data Reporting with Bandwidth Progress bar when connected to a Sentinel dVPN. Time-lapse of downloading a 4GB file. Data updates every two minutes and is calculated by the traffic on the wireguard interface. .... Coming soon to a pip store near you.

🗳 "Voting" on staking contracts (Proposals 14, 15, 16) has concluded. Total amount of DVPN locked into staking contracts: 🔒 6,742,714,727 (about 37.5% of the total supply). This DVPN came from 524 unique wallet addresses.

🚨 BREAKING: Over SEVEN BILLION DVPN (worth over 3m USD/EUR) from the Sentinel Foundation's wallet has just been locked into a five year staking contract (via Proposal 16). https://www.mintscan.io/sentinel/txs/AA6DBBF2911C47819AD10430730C5510D99B2086FF33376295E44DA6E6AF9C00 Nearly 40% of the current total supply of DVPN is now locked until at least 2027.

What are Gems in the Solar DVPN app and are they the same as DVPN tokens ? The answer is very simple When you top-up your account via in-app purchases, you receive gems. 100 gems = 1 DVPN and vice versa. When you top-up your DVPN wallet in crypto, your tokens convert to gems automatically. If you decide to interact with your DVPN wallet somehow else (e.g. via Kelpr), you'll see the amount in DVPN tokens again. Try SOLAR dVPN yourself: bit.ly/3SCbJ6m

Working toward open internet access for Iran (and other countries)

After the staking contracts proposals finish the voting phase the code for the upgrade will be published and upgrade time decided

Friends 🫰, It's only been 2 weeks since my Decentralized VPN Bot was announced, but during that time we've reached more than 2000+ activations without any paid promotion. Users are happy with the bot and app, which means it's time to expand fully. I've prepared a proposal to significantly increase the reach of Decentralized VPN Bot and the overall Sentinel Ecosystem. https://commonwealth.im/sentinel/discussion/7239-make-the-dvpn-community-the-leading-sponsor-of-a-decentralized-vpn-bot Special thanks to @wolfofwaves for the help in editing the proposal

I have a request for community: Since I made a bot with only one thing in mind - to make average users get free VPN and understand the Sentinel technology, I want people, who have access to big telegram groups and chats, to promote it in places where it fits the most. Word of mouth is best marketing strategy. This won’t benefit me personally as much as it will help Sentinel and Solar Labs to succeed. Thank you in advance✌️ Link to the bot: t.me/Free_dVPN_Bot

A short announcement from Aleksandr Litreev CEO of SOLAR Labs: "This autumn we are going to revolutionize Sentinel with an all-new tool that is going to bring mass-additions to the network. As we began our path of creation of SOLAR dVPN — our goal was not to become monopolist, but to make sure we plant seeds for growth of dVPN even beyond SOLAR Labs. That’s why we are going to be releasing the SOLAR dVPN Toolkit — enabling you to create your very own dVPN app within MINUTES without even having to code! With the SOLAR dVPN Toolkit even your grandma will be able to make a dVPN application. With just a few clicks, apps for all mobile platforms are ready and fully functional, with integrated payment solutions all of which are of course, completely open source. There are no competitors in Web 3, There are only common-goal comrades. Stay tuned."

❓Do you have questions? We have answers!❗ AMA session with Alexandr Litreev finally will take place! When: 18th of October Time: 2 PM UTC (17:00 Tallinn time) Platform: Youtube (on-line) But you can start right now: send us your question about VPN and dVPN technologies, VPN market, $DVPN token, our applications, etc in our Telegram chat.

End of September Updates _____________________________ Desktop Applications - 2 new desktop applications have been released by two independent teams building on the Sentinel dVPN protocol. Now the Sentinel ecosystem has both desktop and mobile applications that allow for users to connect to community hosted dVPN nodes. https://sentinel.medium.com/launch-of-the-first-desktop-dvpn-application-on-sentinel-and-an-overview-of-sentinels-progress-953960c15cd3 https://mathnodes.com/index.php/meile-dvpn-client-linux-os-x/ https://apps.apple.com/sz/app/solar-dvpn-fast-anonymous/id1597909295 Sentinel Hub Upgrade Scheduled for Later in October - The Hub upgrade scheduled for later in October is an extremely important upgrade and includes: - Upgrading the Sentinel Hub to the newest version of the Cosmos SDK - Enforcing minimum dVPN node pricing - Adding CosmWasm smart contract capabilities on the Hub - Long term staking contracts incentivizing users to receive a higher inflation rewards in exchange for longer term minimum staking periods Minimum dVPN Node Pricing - The 'Minimum dVPN Node Pricing' update will ensure the economic feasibility for dVPN node hosts to provide services. This minimum pricing standard will be determined through governance proposals and will be voted on by the community. Reinstatement of Node Reward Structure - The patience of the node host community is extremely appreciated in these times as a proper solution for incentivization that cannot be gamed is worked towards. Since the temporary suspension of the program a considerable number of nodes that were abusing the system have been taken offline. Along with the reinstatement of the program as well as the addition of the minimum node pricing, the economics for node hosts will become much more robust as compared to the earnings in the recent times.
