offer an actively managed etc node with long term support

[hyugit]

hi myetherwallet team,

thank you very much for keeping etc in your amazing project.

I just got more great news: on behalf of etc community, @EtherNinja here is offering an actively managed etc node with long term support. if you are looking to use a dedicated etc node with active support for MEW, feel free to switch to it. it's a parity node in geth mode: mewapi.epool.io:7001

sample request:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":83}' mewapi.epool.io:7001

response:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0x18d993","id":83}

let me know what you guys think.

thanks,

huang

Thank you!

I literally was in the process of writing a post about our new node switching functionality:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/5lqx90/announcing_myetherwallet_v34_the_node_switcher/

We can all test it out a bit and if everything looks good, we can replace the current ETC (MyEtherWallet) with this one when the time comes.

for ref, here is where the nodes are set up: https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet/blob/mercury/app/scripts/nodes.js

@tayvano @kvhnuke Hey guys :-) I just set up the parity instance in geth mode. Do I need to serve it though nginx for ssl cert? I have a cloudflare cert but it would need to proxy through there to use it. Sorry haven't looked at the code for a long while.

Okay, served through cloudflare ssl. disregard 7001 port. standard 443 port used.

secure@miner2:/etc$ curl  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":83}' https://mewapi.epool.io
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0x2cd371","id":83}

hi everyone, I just created a provisional PR for the node -- #318

the only files that matters are nodes.js and nodeHelpers/mewEtc.js, and I used customNode class to implement the etc node

let me know what you think.

thank you everyone for doing this. I guess this ticket can be closed now.
