Thank you for this update. While I'm new to SteemIt, I did find it interesting to read this "behind-the-scenes" post. I couldn't help noticing that the block size in your link was ~63 Giga-Bytes, while in all sorts of "running a node" tutorials from a year+ ago, it's much smaller. Wouldn't this sort of growth influence people's ability to run a node (at least a "cloud based" one)?
