RE: Using Intel Optane for STEEM blockchain seed node
Excellent work. You should have tried @utopian-io tag and mentioned that you are a witness.

@vimukthi - Intel and Packet has a program to help projects test Optane on a powerful hardware. I have applied for it here. What are your thoughts / suggestions on making this better ?

I don't really have much of technical knowledge give much feedback. I read a little bit about Optane and I'm convinced that it'll be very valuable in the long run especially for blockchain products more than anything. Make a post and share it around or just try Discord for feedback from those who know the technical side better.
Sure, will do. Right now there are no other blockchains which tested Optane - so that will give STEEM some value. From what I understand EOS is using MongoDB for snapshots (not sure) and unless there is RocksDB engine in there, STEEM's approach IMHO is much faster and scalable.
STEEM also has the advantage of being able to focus rather than generalize. EOS will have to think about too many variables. Then there is Hashgraph (The only aBFT crypto I know of) which is already valued at 6 Billion USD. Thanks to SEC only accredited investors could get in. Hashgraph could seriously out compete EOS.
STEEM has the advantage of having multiple social media platforms accessed with a single account. This is one reason I've sold all my EOS and STEEM is my biggest crypto investment. The ecosystem is kind of like Apple. It's really hard to get out of.

Congratulations!

And we got access to the Intel program !
Thank you. I did few mistakes in this test. I am doing this again and will update again. I have a hard disk (not SSD) where the steemd executable is living plus dependencies. I want to move them also optane to make better performance.
And here is the next test: this will break optane ;-)
