CryptoTexty Talk with Antonio Manno about blockchain, philosophy and economics. Antonio Manno is co-founder of Exosphere academy, speaker on D-Tech space conference in Lviv and BlockchainUA conference in Kyiv.

Overview

We are recruiting the first members to join the ranks of the Gladius Legion! We want you to fight with us against slow websites and DDoS attacks in the front lines of the internet!

The Gladius Beta Program is where people can download, test, and give feedback on our software before the full release. During the course of the Beta, we will release a new version every 2 weeks along side our bi-weekly development updates. To be clear, the beta IS NOT just one release. We will continue to improve on and add new features daily (with official releases every 2 weeks) up until full release.

More than anything, Gladius is committed to the safety and security of our user’s information and GLA. We will be testing all code extensively to ensure that it’s safe to run before we add it to our release and we will delay features if we feel there are any security risks.
What to Expect
Command Line Interface

For now we are focusing on the actual backend technology and have made UI/UX integration a lower priority. For the time being the Gladius Node Manager (desktop client for nodes) will be run through the command line. However, aside from onboarding and the initial configuration, the software will run mainly in the background and therefore should not require constant monitoring or configuration from the user.
Cross Platform / Docker Support

We want any system to be able to become a Gladius Node with ease. Therefore, our software will available via a Node.js module. In addition, Docker is a tool that lets users bundle software in its own virtual sandbox separate from their local machine. We are planning on having docker support for users who prefer it at a later date.
Earning GLA

As of now, nodes do not have the ability to earn GLA by renting out their unused bandwidth. This is because we are still testing our payment system in order to ensure GLA is not lost due to bugs and/or malicious actors. In addition, the official Gladius Marketplace will not have any clients purchasing services at the start of the beta. However, these features will be unlocked later in the beta. In addition, we plan to compensate Beta users for their time and feedback.
Bi-Weekly Updates

As mentioned in the Overview we will be releasing bi-weekly updates of our software along side our bi-weekly written updates. These updates will be stable and users will not have to re-onboard or re-signup. Each update will also include a changelog for a more technical and precise explanation of what has been added, removed, and changed.
General Beta Disclaimer

Keep in in mind data caps! The beta is a period where people interested in helping us develop this product can test, critique, and contribute to this open source project. Creating the world’s best decentralized CDN and DDoS protection network takes time and we want to make sure we nail it. During the beta expect bugs, crashes, and for things to break. DO NOT expect to be able to quit your job and run Gladius on all of your computers and retire early. This is BETA software and the more crashes, bugs, and failures we overcome now, the more polished the final product will be. We hope you as a community will stand along side us and help us create an amazing product. Thank you Gladius Legion!
Getting Started

    Fill out an application for Gladius Beta!
    If your application is approved you will be sent further instructions from [email protected] (watch out for phishing!!!)
    Follow the instruction on our wiki to install and setup the software once you are accepted (Not that you will need to be accepted to run it, you just won’t recieve the beta traffic).

At the beginning of the beta Gladius will run one official Gladius beta pool. This means that no other pools will be listed in the public marketplace. We’ve decided to limit enrollment for the initial launch in order to contain any major issues that are presented within the first couple of weeks. We will allow 240 nodes to become members of the first official Gladius pool to represent 3 centuriae in the Gladius Legion! In subsequent updates we will be creating more official pools that will let in more and more nodes and eventually open enrollment up for all nodes and pool managers.

It is essential to remember that this is a Beta program not a one time release. The beta will last until product launch meaning that even if you aren’t selected to be in the first official pool, you will still be able to join the Gladius Army during the beta period! As mentioned in the previous Development Update, participants in the beta will be compensated a small amount of GLA as a reward for helping improve the software. Beta users will be compensated regardless of when they participate so if you aren’t in the first pool do not worry! Submit your application to have a chance at becoming a part of the first official Gladius Pool.
How we will Select Closed Beta Testers

During the initial launch we want to have testers with the technical experience to test our software rigorously and find and report bugs/errors/crashes quickly and precisely. Therefore, we’ve added questions on the beta application to give people the opportunity to tell us about their experiences. In addition, we want testers with unique and diverse setups in operating systems, bandwidth, etc… in order to test our software in a variety of environments. If there is a tie between potential beta users, based on technical experience and performance, the winner will be decided by who is holding the most GLA. If that is also equal, we will select based on which user contributed first (transaction hash). All closed beta testers will be chosen at the sole discretion of Gladius.

We at Gladius are excited to announce our Partnership with Horizon Communications. Horizon is the first telecom ICO. They will deploy their high speed internet services in 2 countries in the Caribbean by Q4 of 2018. Horizon expects to expand internationally to Central America.

The mutually beneficial nature of the projects make the partnership especially exciting. Horizon is able to, as an ISP, use their excess bandwidth as part of the global decentralized CDN and DDOS Network to help their customers and other companies around the world get protection from outages or attacks. This would provide a revenue stream for the company and ensure utility of all available bandwidth that might otherwise be wasted despite being paid for.​

The Gladius software will be built directly into Horizon’s customer portal alongside our other partners and users. This provides a greater network pool and allows the Gladius program to be accessible to more customers.

​The Founder of Horizon, Gilbert A Darrell, has 18 years of experience in information technology and telecom solutions, is a veteran in Fire and EMS Services, a crypto enthusiast, and a member of the Bermuda Government’s Cryptocurrency Task Force.

Horizon Communications is a fixed wireless internet service provider looking to provide services in Bermuda, the Caribbean and Central America before expanding internationally. While utilizing 4th generation and soon 5th generation wireless technology. It will incorporate blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, one of the 1st ISP’s in the world to do so, while launching an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) as apart of their capital raise and blockchain integration. More information can be found on their website — www.HorizonComm.com

• We restrict startup/product announcements to a designated startup pitch stage
• Companies who already have a working product can present their achievements and roadmaps
• We don’t promote ICO tokens
• This is an educational and networking event - by default, speakers are expected to give an educational/helicopter view of their expertise
• It's a not-for-profit conference, so we try to keep ticket prices low
• The audience consists of broad crowd - including technology experts, entrepreneurs, investors, bankers, students, regulators and others.
When: the 23rd of March, 09:00 - 19:00
Where: Conference Hall "Oasis", Kyiv

Good afternoon! Welcome to our sixth bi-weekly development update! Every other Thursday at 4PM EST we will be posting an overview of the progress we’ve made over the last two weeks.

During the last sprint we focused on:

Gladius Beta Program
Node Manager
Web Portal

Gladius Beta Program

Over the past two weeks we’ve been hard at work preparing documentation, repositories, and getting other resources ready for the launch of the beta program later this month. Today, we would like to give our supporters a chance to apply for the first official Gladius Beta Pool.

At the beginning of the beta Gladius will run one official pool. This means that no other pools will be listed in the public marketplace. We’ve decided to limit enrollment for the initial launch in order to contain any major issues that are presented within the first couple of weeks. We will allow 240 nodes to become members of the first official Gladius pool to represent 3 centuriae in the Gladius Legion!

In subsequent updates we will be creating more official pools that will let in more and more nodes and eventually open enrollment up for all nodes and pool managers.

It is essential to remember that this is a Beta program not a one time release. The beta will last until product launch meaning that even if you aren’t selected to be in the first official pool, you will still be able to join the Gladius Legion during the beta period! As mentioned in the previous Development Update, participants in the beta will be compensated a small amount of GLA as a reward for helping improve the software. Beta users will be compensated regardless of when they participate so if you aren’t in the first pool do not worry! Check out the official beta page for more information.

Submit your application here to have a chance at becoming a part of the first official Gladius Pool.

Node Manager

This sprint we focused on separating our code into different modules to make it more developer and open source friendly. This allows users to run the node manager in the command line, with a UI, or even create their own custom UI by connecting to our REST API.

In addition we also created four new smart contracts. We had originally planned to keep all user data (encrypted) inside each pool contract but have since decided a better approach would be to have every node and client deploy their own smart contract. This allow individuals to have more control over their own data and who see’s it.

We’ve worked extensively this sprint on getting the node manager ready for the beta. We will continue to code, test, and write documentation in order to make downloading, using, and contributing to the Node Manager as simple as possible.

Web Portal

The web portal is a site where websites seeking protection can go and sign up to be protected by the Gladius Network. We are proud to say that it is finally UI complete! This sprint we’ve been working very closely with Kyokan to integrate the backend with our smart contracts and API. In the beginning of the beta Gladius will be the only “client” seeking CDN/DDoS protection. Therefore, we will be releasing the web portal sometime later in the beta once we start adding more beta clients such as some of our partners listed on our site.

General Beta Disclaimer

The beta is a period where people interested in helping us develop this product can test, critique, and contribute to this open source project. Creating the worlds best decentralized CDN and DDoS protection network takes time and we want to make sure we nail it. During the beta expect bugs, crashes, and for things to break. DO NOT expect to be able to quit your job and run Gladius on all of your computers and retire early. This is BETA software and the more crashes, bugs, and failures we overcome now, the more polished the final product will be. We hope you as a community will stand along side us and help us create an amazing product. Thank you Gladius Legion!

Наша місія в тому, щоб розвивати тематику криптовалют та блокчейну в Україні. Цей розвиток ми бачимо, як підвищенні індивідуальної поінформованості та популяризації криптовалюти “в маси” серед українців, так і в підтримці та, можливо, участі у великих проектах.

Ми прагнемо бачити та позиціонуємо Україну, як країну високитих технологій, а не сировинний придаток. Ми сприймаємо Київ – як одну з основних світових столиць криптовалют, блокчейну, та ІТ в цілому.

Багато хто мріє повторити успіх Кремнієвої долини, але можливо нам і не вдасться її створити, натомість вийдет заснувати Криптовалютну Вершину (і не так важливо щоб це було саме географічна “вершина” в Карпатах чи на Печерських пагорбах, а щоб це була Вершина талантів, спільної взаємодії, та створення успішних українських компаній в індустрії майбутнього.

Ми запрошуємо однодумців долучатись!
