RE: January in Retrospect for Steem
Interesting choice of topic @gadrian
Costs of running a full node have already been reduced and
Did they indeed managed to do it already? Or is it still ongoin process? any idea?
ps. what do you personally think about worker proposal offer? I think Steemit is just to small and their userbase is to small. So most likely this project will be waste of funds and money and will die quietly with very little interest. Hopefully Im wrong.
again: great read buddy

As much as I criticized Steemit and Ned recently, they did that, and... is an ongoing process. Meaning reducing RAM requirements for witness nodes will follow, when they switch to RocksDB database implementation. And they said there may be possible more reductions for full nodes, but from the wording I'd say the main thing has already been introduced. And it's not the reduction only, but the fact the full node is broken in 3 parts, which can be hosted on 3 separate and much smaller hosting plans, in terms of RAM. That's way cheaper, because costs grow exponentially with the amount of RAM you have at your disposal on your hosting account.

Ah, the worker proposal system.
I'm not sure. It's not about the size of Steem. But I think this might in a way overlap with what Utopian is doing, and if the worker proposal system would jeopardy Utopian's activity, I would definitely be against it being implemented. If they can complete each other, than we can think of other factors. In principle, having a say through voting in what is implemented and what not might seem like a good idea and focus the development energies.
