BEACON

Blockcast BEACON Client (Coming Soon)

Blockcast BEACON is a Docker container that earns users rewards for continually checking their bandwidth capacity (upload/download speeds) and uptime.

• Action: download and run the BEACON Docker container.

• What does BEACON do?

  • Records your download and upload bandwidth speed as an NFT. This NFT expires every 30 days at which time BEACON will run another test and generate another NFT.

  • Pings the Blockcast Network with your availability. So the longer you keep BEACON running without any downtime or service interruptions, the more rewards you earn.

  • In the future, the separate BEACON software can be combined with a RELAY node. In this implementation, BEACON will also verify network performance and reliability for nearby RELAY and CAST nodes.

  • BEACON data collected by Blockcast Network will be used to verify resource availability to operate a public RELAY node.

• Downloading and Running BEACON

  • Visit the BEACON download page on the Blockcast website and grab the Docker Container

  • Once you download it, open and run the container in Docker. That's it!

• Earning and Tracking Rewards

  • When you run the Docker container, you'll be able to login. If you don't have an account, just follow the registration steps.

  • After you login, you'll open the BEACON portal where you can see your activity (current download/upload speeds and uptime) and rewards.
