Host Your Node (Required to Earn Rewards)

Hosting Disclaimer: You may use any hosting provider of your choice. The options outlined below are provided for convenience, but you are not obligated to use Go Fluiid or any specific service. Your only requirement is to ensure your nodes remain hosted on a reliable server that meets the technical specifications.

Option 1: Community-Favored Hosting — Go Fluiid

Most members use Go Fluiid because it is built specifically for TSC and requires no technical setup.

• Pre-configured for Trust Nodes
• No server setup required
• Exclusive pricing: $1.95/month per node

Hosting Provider: https://gofluiid.com

Steps:

1. Go to the Go Fluiid website and click "Get Started."
2. Enter your information.
3. Validate your email.
4. Select the number of nodes to host.
5. Set up monthly or annual payment.

After completing payment: Your nodes should appear on your Go Fluiid dashboard. If you set up hosting before your nodes are provisioned and see 0 nodes, do not worry — this is normal. Please allow up to 24 hours for your nodes to come online. Once they are provisioned on the blockchain, Go Fluiid will automatically update and your nodes will start operating as soon as they are on chain.

Option 2: Self-Hosting or Alternative Providers

If you prefer, you may host your nodes independently.

• 1 GB memory (or higher)
• 20 GB storage (or higher)
• Reliable, always-on internet connection

Hosting on a laptop or PC is not recommended.

Installation Steps:

1. Access your server (SSH/terminal).

Run installer:

bash <(curl -s https://static.trustedsmartchain.com/node/linux/install.sh)

2. Enter your email (same as purchase).
3. Enter your activation key (found under "Licenses" in app.trustedsmartchain.com).
4. Once confirmed, your node is live. Repeat for each license you own.

Option 3: Other Hosting Providers to Explore

You may also consider these popular hosting providers:

1. Vultr
2. Contabo
3. Digital Ocean

These providers offer VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting that meets the minimum requirements. You will need to configure your server following the self-hosting installation steps outlined in Option 2.

Timeframe Notice: It takes 24–48 hours from receiving this email for nodes to be provisioned on the blockchain. Hosting should be set up first so your nodes begin earning rewards immediately once online.
