Great work! In your view @markymark has there been real progress by Stinc towards reducing the RAM requirements of full nodes yet or is it just promises?
Account History on RocksDB greatly reduced full node memory usage by almost half. HiveMind will reduce it further, I am not running HiveMind though, I am doing full SteemD & RocksDB. You still need a lot to run a HiveMind based full node.
You are looking at 4-5 machines rather than one, but they can be each be lower ram than one big one. The more ram you get, the price goes up exponentially not linearly, that's where the savings come in.
Once everything can be stored on disk, then you will really see cheap nodes.
Thanks for doing this. I agree with you that there needs to be more public full nodes, and hopefully with the changes already made and supposedly still to come, that will become more and more a possibility. You've been at the forefront of explaining what it really takes to run a full node, and I appreciate that, too.
Now, I'm going to show my ignorance. :) When you say give the node a try, how does one do that? I mean, can I somehow set steemit, or busy, or steempeak to use your node? I've wondered about that in the past, but never found a way to choose a node.
The only place I've seen that option available is on steemworld.
Are we going to get to a point where we can use some sort of distributed network where we can all have some sort of mini node at home or at give access to our home computers to share the load and run a tiny bit of the infrastructure ourselves?
and a big thank you, I would feel a lot happier about the future security of this blockchain if it was all run by you, Emre, Bernie and a couple of others
I'm really excited to use a powerful and fully-equipped community owned nodes, already integrated it as the default node for my Stratos project, which is implementing communities using custom_json.
I don't know why more people aren't voting for you; you're one of the best witnesses around and should definitely be in top 21!
Excellent! A public API node means a witness vote from me. Well, I was already voting for your witness - but if I wasn't this would've got my support.

I see you got a little fan club
Thanks for blacklisting them. Heh famous enough to attract a sandfly storm. I've officially arrived.

You have been flagged for being an ignorant twat and posting retarded shit.

Resteemed and about to vote for you for witness. You know the situation perfectly.

As far as I understand that has already been done.

You can set it in SteemWorld but Full Nodes are mostly geared to developers of dApps.

Even if the hardware becomes a fast cpu, 4Gb ram, and fast drives the bandwidth requirements are too much for a home user.
Old post I know, but what are the bandwidth requirements out of curiosity?
Thanks for sharing!

Nice! Can you share cost and server spec information? I've been curious as to what costs this racks up in a month now with Hivemind now implemented.
