Been running a Witness node for almost a week. Ambienthex is just picking up blocks, burning clock cycles and electricity is all :-D Not enough votes to get into the Witness pool circulation yet. Was at position 189 last time I checked. Price feed all in place and reporting correctly as well.

Many may fall out of the Witness pool when the traffic increases to 1 to 2% of Facebook level traffic. Going to need a proper data center and server farm or earn enough to cover some hefty AWS fees to keep up soon. Know Steemit is using AWS. Hope they have a large pool of server instances on standby incase things spike quickly. Can stage nodes as AWS spot instances and only pay as you turn them on and bump up the spot instance budget as needed. A way to have backups on hand for free. Sure they have a plan and giving the Steem community the chance to support the network themselves for as long as they can.
