 Abstract

Throughout this project two components have been created: Cloudomate and
PlebNet. Cloudomate is a program that can purchase virtual private servers (VPS)
from a number of providers with Bitcoin, it is accessed through a command line
interface and published as Python library. PlebNet is the implementation of an
autonomous self-replicating entity. It uses Cloudomate to purchase servers
through which it provides bandwidth for anonymous downloading as exit node in
exchange for reputation. This reputation is then sold on the Tribler market so
that the autonomous entity can purchase new servers to join the process.
Effectively creating a botnet for good.
