We never pay for user votes but earn your votes through growing and supporting the Proton community. While some BPs short stake using non-BP accounts, we do not hide who we vote for and are transparent in our allocation of block rewards. This is because we are proud to highlight and promote those that actively add value to this chain. This also allows everyone to see all our earnings data reported and compiled at protontscan.io.
Node/Server Specs
Proton MT (Montana) invested large sums of $$$ into this community by not renting equipment. Instead, we buy high-quality server equipment and use a state-of-the-art tier-3 redundant power & connection data center located remotely away from big city internet congestion in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Proton MT uses only professional-grade network server equipment with the latest 5.3 GHz Performed & tuned Intel i-9 custom CPUs; 64 GB of RAM; and Solid State Drives (MVME Terabyte drives) to guarantee better-than-industry standards for the best performance and redundancy.
Our hardware is also protected behind blockchain encryption, firewalls, and larger scalable and redundant bandwidth. Our infrastructure scales 100Gbps and includes DDoS protection in the event of an attack.
