RE: Witness Update – Starting a seed node
Wow, I didn't know it actually needs a server spec to run as a seed node @reggaemuffin ! I have been scouting for a server for my office myself and even my webpage for my internal office does not need a high ram as it is needed.
I noticed it doesn't require a high graphics card. I do not quite understand how STEEM producing works but I guess it is not relying on GPU then?
upvoted and resteemed
The hardest part is storing the Blockchain and that can get quite big. I like to have the whole chain in memory so my server is beefy.
Steem does not need mining so cpu/gpu time is minimal. It does need almost zero latency, so using ram to save time can be crucial
