Server Sponsorship
I talked to deen about a year ago about donating/sponsoring for servers and I've forgotten about it since, mostly because my priority was to find a decent host first. Now that I've found a good, reliable server, with several months of playing of them now, I found it satisfactory. It's in the US and I understand that there's already a US server, but my server offers decent pings to a lot of Latin American players, while the current one offers good pings to northern Mexicans, but not so much for others.
However, I do have some concerns on performance with a lot of players being connected. I already host several servers on it, maximum 20 players which is very rare, 6-10 players for some hours per day without any problems. But I haven't done any network stress test. So I thought I might start with one DDrace, one Block, and one zCatch.
What is the minimum, for a lack of better word, amount of authentication do I need to provide? I'm actually willing to give root access, but there wasn't much info around on how to become a server sponsor, so I thought I'd ask.
Further, with the Bam update, I'm trying to get the Teerace server hosted, but I don't know how to deal with the new Bam update to compile a Teerace server. If I can help on this while DD servers are being dispatched, I would appreciate it.
Where are the server binaries for some of the DD servers? For example, I wasn't able to find zCatch that's uniquely hosted by DDNet servers and it's a great version of zCatch. May I also know who the coders are for each of the mods?

Re: Server Sponsorship
I need full root. Ideally also nothing else running on the same server, but ok.

Re: Server Sponsorship
It's nice I've found this topic.
Guys, my friend and I can provide a server located in Ukraine, if needed. Machine with real IP address, 24/7 online. I think the question is: does DDNet need it, and if yes, who can help to set it running, or set it on his own.

I gotta go. There's a dude next to me and he's watching me type, which is sort of starting to creep me out. Yes dude next to me, I mean you.

Re: Server Sponsorship
Ukraine should have ok connection to RUS and/or GER, no? Looking at this map I would only consider a few new locations:
- Australia
- Egypt/Israel

Re: Server Sponsorship
I agree. More people on the server - bigger the fun. Didn't think of that.
Anyway, you've got the offer
