RE: Best Practice Running Steemd v0.16.0
Not to bother with a basic question but what are the advantages of running a node? From my basic understanding for a node to profit it must be voted as a witness? I have some serious hardware at my disposal and static public IP's that could be used. Just need some literature on what the situation is if you have any links it is appreciated. I messed around in the github to get an understanding of how to run things locally in case the actual site went down. That is as far as I have gotten. Thanks!
It's true that not everyone need to run a node. Witnesses and standard miners need to run nodes. And yes you get the point, you can run things locally (although I haven't tried to run a GUI locally, others do). Profitable or not is another topic. In regards to links, I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly, perhaps you can join https://steemit.chat/ and ask in #witness or #dev channel.
Thanks, will check it out!
