The second weekly wrap-up from the Nano team. Today we rambled through musings about Nano KPI, Venezuela, NanoSMS, BitInka, Nanote and the new revamped bug bounty program. In addition Roy and Lee stepped in to give us an update on the current work being done on the protocol level. In the future you may see a community member and may even get a chance to win something!

The recording quality of this video is still pretty low. We have plans to get that kicked up a notch starting next week.

Nanocast exists to educate people about the crypto-currency Nano. Led by a driven team, this fast, zero-fee and scalable digital currency has quickly inspired thousands to build a robust ecosystem of apps and services. Whether a crypto-enthusiast or a curious bystander, here you will get a glimpse of the exciting developments happening in and around Nano - the currency of the future.

Need to buy Nano, but don’t know what exchange to use? Binance is one of the largest exchanges in the world, has an easy to use interface and is more or less free from glitches. I have personally always had a great experience and would recommend it. If you want to use Binance and share some love, use my referral link!

There are two ways for the community to support the Nano network and in turn make it more secure and decentralized. The easiest way is to open/login to your Nano wallet and change your representative to a trusted rep. You can view information about nodes at nanonode.ninja and the Nano Node Monitor (if the owner has it configured).

The second and more difficult way to support the network is by setting up a node. Nodes help decentralize the voting that takes place on the Nano chain. You can learn more about that here: https://bit.ly/2qmEJoq

Or you can just go buy a pod. nanocast.co/pod

Setting up a node can be really easy and is relatively inexpensive. The first thing you will need to host a node is a server. This can be hosted locally or you can buy server space from a third party. I use Digital Ocean and so far have had a great experience. In addition there are lots of guides written with Digital Ocean in mind. Once you have your droplet you can follow this quick and easy guide: https://nanotools.github.io/easy-nano-node/digitalocean.html (If you have any questions about setting up nodes, Reddit and the Discord are great resources).
