Was put onto this last week by a friend as Helix via my reseller is becoming a little spotty over the past few weeks. I wanted to be prepared to jump ship if I needed to.
Cost
1 MONTH $5
3 MONTHS $14
6 MONTHS $25
1 YEAR $45
Payments
Paypal was accepted (friends and family only), Skrill (whatever that is) and also payments accepted in various crypto currencies. A trial of 24 hours was also offered.
Signup
The signup process is a little more difficult than most services I have used. There is no panel to log into. The website : https://phuketiptv.com/ is very basic and not very inspiring, As I said previously, a trial was offered, and so initially I sent an email to the address on the site and asked for a 24 hour Trial. I got a reply within a couple of hours with login details (Xtream logins, m3u URL's and a link to discord server)
After a few hours I was convinced enough that it would be worth putting down $5 to get a closer look at the service and to try it out for a full month. I sent an email asking how I go about signing up as there is no panel to create an account. I got a reply within 30 minutes and I was told to send payment, and then email with the transaction ID and the username from the account (I paid with bitcoin) I was also told that login details from free trial could be kept the same.
After sending the email with the transaction ID, I got a reply again within 30 minutes that the account had been extended and that I was good to go.
Although not the easiest signup process, the seller was quick, efficient and there were no problems getting both the trial and the full account all setup and working very quickly and with minimal fuss.
Channels
At first I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of channels available. I expected a huge number of "filler" channels, but I was surprised that most of the channels on most of the countries listed seemed to be accurate and working. Quality was on-par with services that are charging 3 or more times this price.
The first main test was the 3pm kickoffs for uk Premier League on Saturday.
My current providers normally have sky and Supersports and then some also have nbc gold or an epl alternative.
On browsing the list I found that Phuketiptv was providing NBC Gold, Supersports, DAZN, Optus, All Bein sports, Flow/Rush, and at least two other providers that I had never seen elsewhere. All links were active and working well both for kickoff and also throughout the match. There were multiple feeds for the Sky and BT sports channels, consider the 3pm kick off test well and truly passed.
Other channels in the uk and usa categories were complete, there were one or two down when i had a quick look through them, but reporting channels is easy and the guy seems very responsive to requests and channel reporting (more on that later) There were lots of Canadian and Australian feeds that I will be adding to my own custom channel list, nothing obvious seemed to be missed, I browsed many of the european countries channels and again a huge majority were up and running and seemed to be correct.
Guide
After a few days of basic browsing with vlc and the m3u I added the details into IMPlayer and also tivimate on my boxes, tivi seemed to give a slightly better layout/results from my initial look through. The guides were more complete than I expected. I did have to time-shift a little to get the guides to match up, but eventually I will using iptv-epg to manage my channels and guide myself. SO guide is not normally something I worry too much about. For those that rely on provider guide, it seems just as good as any you will find on more expensive services, they don't only rely on the English speaking channels to get them by, they have guide into for most countries/channels that have guide into available.
Communication
In the signup email I was provided a link to discord channel, this is well laid out with lots of information available to users new and old. There are "General chat", "channel requests" and "report channels" boards. posts made to these are required to be in a certain format, the format for posts can be found in pinned messages, if you have a quick read through the owner seems very responsive to any and all requests and reports (as long as they are in the correct format) Channels seem to be fixed very quickly once reported. The service seems to be pro-active rather than reactive when it comes to new additions. In the few days I have been there they have added several new sets of channels (SPFL, FoxTel Australia and all EPL games for the rest of the year are prepared in a folder)
There are also "announcement", "Troubleshooting", "links" and "downloads" chats on discord. I would advise having a good look around and getting a feel for things before jumping in. but overall a very positive experience so far and I can see no reason why I would not continue to send my $5 per month on an ongoing basis to this guy as long as the experience continues the way it has started.
Other thoughts
Would be nice to be able to have "multi-connection" accounts rather than individual accounts for more than one device, but he is offering a discount on a second line (separate username)
Overall, very nice budget provider who offers way more than expected and gives some of the "big guys" some serious competition. Would also be a good idea to have a panel for customers to signup directly, I can understand why they don't have this, but it will certainly dissuade some potential users from sending in money.
So my specs are the following:
- ryzen 2600
- 16gb RAM
- 512gb SSD
- 2x 2TB HDD (I plan to buy 2x TB more and then run them in raid1)
I plan to host various services like:
- nextcloud
- btcpayserver
- standalone bitcoin node
- music service
- movie service
...
I installed proxmox for managing VMs / containers. I also mounted hdds as LVM drives and assigned some space to each VM.
So my goal would be to have some of the services exposed like: music.mydomain.com or nextcloud.mydomain.com etc...
I am quite new in this area, if I understand correctly I'd have to run nginx container on my homeserver and then let nginx route to other VMs/containers.
Are there any good sources / guides to read to learn the basics of security / firewall / setting up different VMs / containters, best practices etc...?

Full section on Messari's Ethereum trends for 2020 here
If history is any guide, we’re not going to see ETH 2.0 until 2022 at the earliest, even if the earliest phases of “Serenity” begin getting pushed in mid-2020. ETH 2.0’s rollout breaks down into seven (7!!!) phases and brings with it the promise of staking, sharding, a new virtual machine, and more dancing badgers.
(One of our analysts, Wilson Withiam, put together an excellent overview of both the ETH 2.0 and ETH 1.x roadmaps for this report. They are critical to track and understand at a high-level given how much Ethereum’s performance will affect other competitive projects and most of the DeFi and Web 3 infrastructure. So these next two sections are longer and more technical.)
Here’s what you need to know about the current game plan for crypto’s largest platform.
Phase 0 marks the launch of the “beacon chain”, which will serve as the backbone for a new blockchain. The beacon chain will manage network validators (large early stakers like ConsenSys) and ultimately assign validators to individual shards (slicing the new blockchain into smaller chunks is a key, difficult, controversial scaling decision that’s been made). The new chain will support Ethereum’s new proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, and offer inflation rewards with new ETH2 for those that pony up and lock 32 ETH1 tokens into an irreversible contract. That one way bridge into the new system is also contentious, but it means ETH1 supply will start getting “effectively burned” once token holder begin claiming beacon chain validator slots. Initial reports claimed Jan. 3 as a realistic launch date (lol). It will be amazing to see this launched by end of June.
Phase 1 will introduce 64 individual shard chains (reduced from 1,024!!!) to the network, with the option to increase the total down the road as the design gets tested. The Ethereum elite see sharding as the “key to future scalability” as shards can parallelize transaction processing, something that could improve network performance and reduce individual validator’s costs (good for decentralization). It comes with big risk: this is still theoretical. No network the size of Ethereum has successfully sharded its blockchain. In Phase 1, shard chains will only contain simple data sets (no smart contracts or transaction executions) to test the system’s structure. As with Phase 0, the beacon chain will continue to run in parallel with ETH 1.x throughout the phase. Don’t expect Phase 1 anytime before 2021.
Phase 2 marks the full launch of the ETH2 chain, allowing for on-chain contract execution and introducing the new eWASM virtual machine (dubbed EVM 2.0). At this point, existing dApps can start migrating their contracts from ETH 1.x to a specific shard (one shard per contract) in the new network. Storage rent, charging contract owners for storing data on the network (more on this below), is in the cards as well, which would require mass contract rewrites. Even though Phase 2 intends to replace the original Ethereum blockchain entirely, ETH 1.x may still live on as a shard within ETH2. (How confused are you by now? See why bitcoin will still dominate the macro narrative for a while?) A late 2021 release for Phase 2 is optimistic. Before the end of 2022 would be a win.
The final four phases are less defined, and without an attached timeline:
Phase 3 implements state-minimized clients (because stateless clients are just too much). Phase 4 allows for cross-shard transactions. Phase 5 improves network security and the availability of data proofs. Phase 6 introduces meta-shards, as in “shards within shards within shards,” for near-infinite scaling. If you’re scratching your head and are sadistic enough to read more, the Sharding Wiki page does note, “this may be difficult.”
Scaling and compilation efficiencies aside, the most notable change in Ethereum’s metamorphosis is the transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. PoW is the more battle tested security model for blockchain networks, while PoS may prove to be more efficient but with new and less obvious attack vectors. For the more technical, we recommend reading Bison Trails’ Viktor Bunin on the subject of PoS security threats.
Past research has also shown PoS requires an extra layer of “trust” vs. PoW, to help nodes sync to the network. Most models share specific characteristics to address this trust issue, such as allowing for a dynamic set of validators (rotate your security), promoting token holder participation in consensus, and assessing steep penalties (slashing) for any network participant that violates the protocol guidelines. ETH 2.0 will function similarly, but may be able to learn from other PoS networks (and their R&D) as well as those come live and see real world issues. As Vitalik points out, recent research in PoS resulted in “great theoretical progress,” But...
Listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking about practice. Not a game….Practice? We're talking about practice, man? We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. We're talking about practice, man.
Vitalik was eight when this happened, so the clip might help and prove metaphoric.
Ok, one more. Bear with us. Let’s reiterate, ETH 2.0 is a brand new blockchain. It’s going to be a chaotic and high-risk transition. In the meantime, the existing network needs to run existing applications (particularly financial settlements for DeFi transactions). More critical upgrades are needed in the current system.
To that end, ETH 1.x devs have three goals to boost performance and reduce blockchain bloat: (1) introduce client optimizations that increase transaction capacity; (2) cap disk space requirements and prune old, memory-sucking data (so running a node is less expensive and more decentralized); and (3) upgrade the EVM to eWASM, a newer open standard for code compilers that simplifies debugging, and is also used by all the newer smart contract platforms.
ETH 1.x developers have decided to split the major tasks amongst four working groups:
Core developers intend to introduce most of these implementations through a series of hard forks, the latest of which activated just over a week ago (Istanbul, Dec. 7). However, Istanbul’s second phase, tentatively scheduled for Q2 next year, has Ethereans at each other’s throats. The controversy boils down to the fork’s inclusion of ProgPoW, an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm designed to replace Ethereum’s current algo. ProgPoW aims to even the playing field for GPU miners and ward off the entrance of potential ASIC competitors. The miners like that. But many miners and investors see ProgPoW as a threat to their investments. For miners, the change would shift the power dynamic away from mining farms and render expensive, specialized mining hardware useless. Ethereum (and ERC-20) investors intent on securing their assets might balk because ASIC miners typically prop up hash rates (overall chain security) and their costs “naturally create a price-floor for ASK prices of miners’ sell-orders.”
This saga is far from over. The infighting will likely continue leading up to ProgPoW’s activation date mid-next year, and presents the strongest potential for a network split since “The DAO” fork that spawned Ethereum Classic. The looming transition to ETH 2.0 (and proof-of-stake) will likely deter investor pushback, because it’s a short-term battle in a war the miners are ultimately going to lose, anyway.
Unless the roadmap changes back to supporting a hybrid PoW/PoS system, of course, but...
Oh my god, I’m just kidding. This section is mercifully over.
