@JonnyBitcoin Thanks! I appreciate your confidence and the tip. You can have my votes as well if you ever need them.
@rnglab The websocket exposure was only during the initial synch (per the docs guide) but I will skip it on my next build. Thank you.
So the 8GB was an initial recommendation I found browsing through the forum. My build uses 16GB and it's pushing its limit. I am looking at 32GB for my final build (aiming at a 2 year life cycle)
@alt I meant this threat to be a guide for people to help secure the network, I am not even soliciting anything. I will write my witness proposal later when I get done tuning it and get the final build.
But I guess there is always a hater so to answer you quickly:
- about 'bue' - I like swiss cheese
- Running a witness is a RESPONSIBILITY and I would think that it is in community's interest to build a pool of capable witnesses, both active and standby
- If you keep hating on every new comer, you will not be able to grow this community
- and as far as the active witnesses go, they are mostly voted in by two people only
Feel free to look me up on
