- What is HOP?
HOP protocol provides a decentralized, fully anonymous, blockchain based VPN service to people around the world. The protocol built on Ethereum network, it utilizes the smart micro-payment to run the payment system with unlimited TPS.
The protocol is providing two types of software which are Pool and Miner. Pool is like a shopping mall and Miner is treated like a shop that runs inside the mall. The entrance for user is a Pirate mobile application that is already listed on iOS, Google Play Store as well as MacOS. In this case every Pool and Miner hosters do not need to develop mobile and desktop apps independently.
Now HOP is open to public test. The Pool and Miner are free to create and use by you and your friends.
According to the HOP development plan the HOP protocol will move to ETH mainnet in December 2020 and all Pool and Miner owners are going to start collect ETH HOP token after the move.
Where to get the HOP software?

Where to get the Pirate software?
Steps to prepare the Raspberry Pi
Step 1. Get a microSD Card(we use 64GB), Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB, Case, Power Supplier and one Ethernet Cable. Ensemble the Raspberry Pi, for a case comes with a fan please connect the fan red power cable to 3.3v and the black one to ground. Or use 5v if your region or environment is hotter than normal.
Check the Raspberry Pi 4 layout:
Step 2. Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ARM version to your SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager and then connect the Pi to your Internet Router.
Step 3. Configure your Pi and remote login through your laptop. Find your Pi’s local IP address through your Router administration page, your Pi will be listed as “ubuntu” or “Raspberry Pi”. To prevent the router changing your Pi’s local IP please set your Pi IP as static one.
Steps to run Miner in Raspberry Pi
Step 1. In your current user’s home folder create a new folder called “hop”, enter the hop folder and download the Miner software through curl command:
$ curl -o HOP “https://docs.hyperorchid.org/_media/HOP_arm64"Step 2. Assign the executable privilege to HOP file
$ chmod +x HOPStep 3. Add HOP into bash profile:
$ vi ~/.bashrcAdd info from below into the last line of the profile:
# User specific environment and startup programsPATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:~/hop:~/poolexport PATH
Step 5. Reload the bash profile
$ source ~/.bashrcStep 6. Initiate the Miner and assign the password for your Miner:
$ HOP initStep 7. Open Miner configuration file:
$ vi ~/.hop/conf.hopStep 8. Change Miner configuration file:
{“BAS”: “198.13.44.159”,“id”: 3,“apiUrl”: “https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/d64d364124684359ace20feae1f9ac20",“paymentService”: “0x4291d9Ff189D90Ba875E0fc1Da4D602406DD7D6e”,“token”: “0xAd44c8493dE3FE2B070f33927A315b50Da9a0e25”}
Step 9. Add your Miner IP(search google with myip) into HOP network:
$ HOP bas -b 198.13.44.159 -m YOURIPADDRESS -p 321Step 10A. Open your Pool server console and join the Miner into the Pool(if you have created your own Pool already).
$ Pool eth join -d -s HO82VXn1vnBfLKC6Mx92AKk2kJPJbv4mK2YJTKBWqNWKzo -z “US_San1” -p 123Step 10B. Join a Pool by sending your Miner ID to hyperorchidcs@gmail.com or join the Telegram group to ask a Pool owner to join your miner into a pool.
$ HOP show addressHere is the result from the command above. The ID start with “HO” is your Miner ID:
0x52e41f2fcCaa02efF9DE2c71c7a1b5F2b83FBBe5HO82VXn1vnBfLKC6Mx92AKk2kJPJbv4mK2YJTKBWqNWKzo0x6863a62305800a1e5b6bbc4fc9549ea204786e534010cea4780d11ed0187d0b8
Step 11. Once your miner appears in the Pool please run the command to run miner:
$ nohup HOP -p YOURPASSWORD 2>hop.log &Step 12. Check your pool and test the Miner with Pirate:
Sit back and enjoy a beer, or two.
