Smart Mining is here - earn crypto with your AVADO Box

by SASKIA

AVADO is your plug & play solution giving you access to the WEB3 by running a Blockchain Node. Until today it was mainly a tool for developers to access a blockchain or for users that value privacy and want to have control over who can track their transactions.

Today we add another use case to our Box and show you how to make money with cryptocurrency.

Your AVADO Box is top-notch hardware and has a powerful CPU, huge RAM, ample Disk space, Internet access, and more. All these features of your Box allow you to earn cryptocurrency. We call utilizing these features, “Smart Mining”!

You can rent out your processing Power, or your storage, or even your bandwidth.

The first Smart Mining Application that we want to share with you is called Mysterium Network. By selecting the Mysterium Network package from the AVADO DAppstore, you can rent out your bandwidth and earn up to 50 USD worth of Ether every month. Mysterium Network has created a VPN for private internet access, and it is all peer to peer. Why use a VPN? Simply because information should be available to anyone and Firewalls, geo-blocks and censorship erode democracy and freedom of expression.

“You help the internet to be great again and

deserve the name World Wide Web.”

By opening your AVADO Box as a secure VPN connection, people in certain countries that buy VPN services from Mysterium Network can gain access to Wikipedia, as an example.

You help the internet to be great again and deserve the name World Wide Web. Moreover, all you need is a stable connection and Mysterium Network’s easy to use app, so you can be in sleep mode while your AVADO works for you.

How does the Mysterium Network VPN work?

Mysterium’s decentralized VPN is the first of its kind. It is an application that allows you to become a node and share both your IP address and unused bandwidth with anyone in the world who needs it.

For example, when using the app, you can provide a VPN service so that people can select your IP address to start routing their traffic through. You get paid for providing this service.

Mysterium Network is sending whitelisted traffic. Their decentralized architecture distributes all traffic across the network using an advanced sharding technique. It scrambles and encrypts all data so that no single node ever has the full picture of what the user is doing. Mysterium Network’s layered protection protocols are designed to preserve your privacy – both as a user and a node.

I want to earn crypto, what do I need to do?

First of all, you need an AVADO Box because we ensured that the Mysterium Network package runs frictionless on this hardware.

You can find the Mysterium Package in your AvadOS DAppstore.

If you don’t have the AvadOS yet, you can use this IPFS Hash to download the Mysterium package onto your device.

Once it is installed, go to my DApps and click on the package and it will take you to the onboarding wizard.

It is effortless, and you only need to do two things. 1. Enter the Ethereum Adress you want to have the ETH sent to, and 2. agree to the terms and conditions of the Mysterium Network.
