P-O-U-T (pout) — Proof of Uptime
Become a Node Candidate
Pushing a button here does not create a paid validator. Every status on this page — yours, and the network's — is read live from https://synthos-www.onrender.com. Nothing is shown until the backend reports it.
Download & run the node software
You don't need the download to start proving — finish steps 02–04 and keep this page open, and this tab signs and submits real heartbeat proofs every 10 seconds by itself. The binaries below are for always-on proving that keeps running after the tab is closed. Runs in silent outbound-polling mode: no open ports, no inbound connections.
Run it
- Linux / macOS: chmod +x synthos-node-* then run it. Windows: double-click the .exe.
- On first run it prints its own node ID, public key and key file location to the console — that's your real identity, generated on your machine.
- After you register in steps 02–04, import your website backup so it can sign heartbeats as your registered node.
Verify your download: SHA-256 checksums
Choose node role
Validators are promoted after verified operation, not by clicking a button.
Create or restore node identity
Generates a node ID and keypair in your browser. The private key never leaves this device and is written only into your backup file.
Only import backups you created yourself. Anyone with your node backup may control that node identity.
Register candidate
Submits POST /api/nodes/register with your node_id, public_key, role and created_at. No private material is transmitted.
