Time for my Witness Node Server to be upgraded! 64 GB Server
With all the issues, that we have been having with steemit and the expansion of steem running a 16GB Witness server seems far fetched now.
Checking up in the witness channel on steemit.chat I have noticed this and many issues with the size of ram current witnesses have and many have over 16 GBs of ram a couple months ago that was thought to be enough for another couple more months, now since steemit is ever growing at a much faster rate, 16 GB is no match for its growth, Sure a 32 GB upgrade would be sufficient ... but for how long?
64 GB server Maybe 100 GB?
I have decided to fool proof my witness node server , and decided 64 GB is a good amount to maybe run for another couple of months.
The reason being is steemit is not even at half a million users and even than, only half of those accounts are actual humans and active.
By the end of this year this is how my server room will look like for steemit alone.
So I have contacted @privex, @someguy123's crazy cool company among other services. To have my Node Server upgraded up the *** with gadgets!

Is there any cause for concern about steem becoming too memory intensive. In order for steem to scale will they need to start optimizing it so less ram is required. Have no idea how much ram is a lot for a server?
I was asking myself that same question.
nice job dear
Great works, I wish you success
Thanks sir sharing your nice post
Great idea ! Get Ready for Steem take-off ;).
Amazing, that should help the whole community 👍👌
Hope it will work faster
As steemit implement the hf20, from single burner to quadra!
It's awesome
with expanded memory it will carter for the new users coming in and the traffic am assuming you are a witness and running a node, if so then 132 would be appropriate for the servers. we are growing rapidly as a community and the more witness with bigger faster machines the better
Awesome
