Setup steps

In order to qualify for an Onion POAP, you need to run a Tor exit node. Ideally, you do so at a datacenter. We're going to assume you are using a VPS (virtual private server) with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Step 1: purchase a VPS

Not all VPS providers like it if you run a Tor exit node.

OnionDAO keeps a crowdsourced list of suitable providers here
The Tor community keeps a list of exit node friendly providers here
A crypto community member hosts a list of those accepting Bitcoin here

Most VPS providers have different VPS options. Choose one that has at least 1.5GB RAM. When asked about an operating system, choose Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Your provider should send you a username, password and ip address. Ssh into your server now.

Step 2: run the install script

Clone this repo and run the setup script:

git clone https://github.com/Onion-DAO/tornode.git
cd tornode
sudo bash setup.sh

Step 3: keep it running for a month

After a month, the POAPs will de distributed through poap.delivery.
