RE: 3 Reasons Steem Price Will Go Up - And One Reason It Will Not Reach The Moon
Thanks for putting this information out. I think some of the concern comes from the perceived difficulty of running the Full RPC nodes, without large amounts of RAM. I'd love to see the specifications of a sufficiently capable hardware configuration (that we could expect to be sufficient for say 6 months). I understand for example that the using the SSD for swap requires RAID too? I'm considering running one to support services I'm developing.
That's another way to do it - if you carve out a tmpfs large enough to support the shared memory file plus use swap on a less-than-fast SSD, you are basically letting the OS handle keeping the most relevant pieces in RAM. That's one way to do it. If you have fast enough disk storage already, it's unnecessary to do that. Another option is if your disk storage isn't fast enough by itself you can RAID two together (if available) to gain the performance needed.
