Prelude
In the last article in this series on Railgun, we explored the current state of blockchain from the perspective of the privacy-aware user and defined the problem that projects such as Railgun are trying to solve. As you know, before a problem can be solved, it must be defined and acknowledged to be a problem. Then we discussed potential solutions such as Monero, Z-cash, and Ethereum Virtual Machine oriented privacy tools like Tornado Cash and Railgun.
In this article, which is part 2 out of 3 in this series, I will walk you through the process of configuring a Railgun relay for fun and profit. This one of for paid subscribers only. I hope you find it useful.
Of course, some technical expertise if required. This tutorial assumes that the reader is at least experienced in Linux administration and knows how to deploy, configure, and maintain a virtual private server that is running Linux as it’s primary operating system.
The requirements for running a railgun relay were documented in the last article. Please see before continuing to read:
