Power of Unity … Decentralized Business Network of APAsia.tech, DAOStreet and Open-Asset

We'd come up with an idea in the past few months to invest ourselves and build a professional business-grade network for the BitShares, in a non-profit sense to the Community. We identified infra to be a major missing piece of BitShares, back in 2017, lacking even the basic access nodes around the entire globe, constantly making people stressed about daily usage and connectivity toward the blockchain. We ended up creating, not just Truly Decentralized Business Network and Infrastructure, but we started a great partnership and friendship during this project.

As we have written before, the motto for long time was embedding only to businesses to "build on top of BitShares"; while remaining individuals would be left behind, even by the spirits of BitShares as a Decentralized Autonomous Company where there's actually room for everyone...

Today, in the name of that real DAC spirit - together with amazing people from DAOStreet, Open-Asset (BitShares Sweden), BitShares Slovenia, cum. agency Singapore, Effectus University Croatia, and more individuals – we are giving you to test new SET of 25 Public World Wide RPC BitShares nodes

- [UPDATE]: In our first stage there are 25 publicly accessible nodes, with 0 (zero) load balancers (~30 will be available for WP). - [UPDATE]: We have been running, testing and optimizing these nodes for past 3 months (not all were born at the same time). - [STATUS]: All nodes are secured with Positive SSL Certificates by Comodo. - [UPDATE]: Some VPS instances are protected with additional DDOS Protection by IDC. - [NOTICE]: All nodes are having final days of checkups and hardening. SOME may be unreachable for few hours, please be patient, will be back online. - [DEVELOPMENT]: Simple Status page for nodes (UI Latest Update and connectivity explained by @billbutler) - [DEVELOPMENT]: Running witness_node on Ubuntu 16.04 as a system level service. - [DEVELOPMENT]: BitShares native NGINX Load Balancers - testing.

Thanks for your support and we welcome all comments below – We still have a lot to do and focus towards improvements of the Bitshares Community!
