8. Nodes & Mining
🖥️ Nodes & Mining
Conneth is powered by real people — not servers in data farms. By running a Conneth Node, you become part of the decentralized backbone that hosts content, handles communication, and earns rewards through Proof-of-Connection and uptime.
Whether you're running a full node, cloud host, or hotspot miner, you earn $CONN by keeping the network alive, fast, and human.
⚙️ What is a Conneth Node?
A Conneth Node is a lightweight software application that:
📡 Hosts content for Conneth Cloud
🔗 Verifies and relays PoC data
🎧 Routes wallet-to-wallet calls
📶 Powers decentralized VPN & Hotspot access
Nodes help decentralize the platform while earning rewards based on uptime, trust, and bandwidth.
🧱 Node Types
📁 Cloud Host Node
Hosts websites, files, dApps from .conneth users
✅ Yes
📡 Relay Node
Routes calls/messages between users
✅ Yes
📶 Hotspot Node
Shares internet access / runs VPN exit points
✅ Yes
🛰️ Satellite Node
Offline sync / rural deployment (planned Phase 3+)
✅ Yes (future)
You can run one or more node types on the same device.
🖥️ System Requirements
Basic Node (Cloud + Relay)
CPU: 2+ cores
RAM: 4 GB minimum
Storage: 50 GB free
Bandwidth: 10 Mbps+ upload
OS: Linux, Windows, macOS
Hotspot Node (Add-on)
Must have direct internet access
Open port support
Uptime of 6+ hours/day
Optional: external antenna for range
Raspberry Pi and low-power machines are supported with optimization.
💰 Mining Rewards & Roles
Your earnings depend on:
🧠 Trust Score of your wallet
⏱️ Node Uptime
📤 Bandwidth served
🛡️ Verified PoC activity on your node
Example Reward Formula:
nginxCopyDaily $CONN = Base × (Uptime %) × (PoC Bonus) × (Bandwidth Tier)🔌 Installation Guide (Coming Soon)
You’ll be able to install via:
📦 One-line script for Linux
🪟 Installer for Windows
🍎 GUI for macOS
📱 Mobile Hotspot App (for future Android/iOS nodes)
Installation includes:
Wallet connection
Node type selection
Monitoring dashboard
🧪 Node Monitoring & Health
Your node will be rated using:
✅ Uptime Score (checked hourly)
🔄 Sync Status (PoC logs)
🔗 Relay Health (call success rate)
📊 Storage Quality (for Conneth Cloud)
Your Node Trust Score will directly influence how much $CONN you earn.
Nodes with low trust or downtime will receive reduced or zero rewards.
🧰 Node Features

🔜 Coming Phase 2.5
Offline Pairing Sync
🔮 Coming Phase 3
🛰️ Conneth Satellite Node (Phase 3+)
Future plans include low-orbit node pairing:
Users without internet can sync PoC data offline
Satellites or mobile mesh handle delayed sync
Ideal for rural, disconnected, or disaster zones
This allows Conneth to function without the internet — just devices and trust.
📦 Incentive Tiers
🧊 Unverified
0x
No PoC = no mining
🟡 New Node
0.5x
Limited earning, warming up
🟢 Trusted Node
1x
Has PoC, meets uptime
🔵 High-Trust
2x
