## Description

Bitping is a decentralized network monitoring platform that pays you for running a node. Your node performs website monitoring, latency testing, and network quality checks for Bitping's customers. Works on both residential and VPS connections. The Docker image requires interactive initial setup to authenticate, then persists credentials in a volume mount.
