MIRA Enabled Witness Now Online -- Steem Witness Active


As promised here is a quick update regarding the state of my Steem Witness.

I updated my launch infrastructure to be auto-healing and take advantage of cheap spot fleet instances with AWS. Combining this with the MIRA on disk database has enabled a simple and quick method for automated server management.

I will of course need to keep up with updates and manually push those changes as a new AMI in my deployment.


Resource Usage

Resource usage has drastically decreased to around 1G of usage. You read that correct, current usage for an active, synced witness is around 1G! That is quite the difference from 60GB+ from pre-MIRA.

Replay Time

Initial replay time took roughly 4-5 days, however, the created state files can be reused to deploy other servers much quicker. I wonder if SteemIt is interested in possibly serving a public download of the MIRA files or if such a thing is even possible.


I will keep looking at things as the Steem source code develops especially with the release of the SPS coming soon.

Thanks for supporting my efforts as a blockchain developer here on Steem.

Hey. I noticed you sent Steem to null to promote this post. However, I think the promotion only works if you send SBD. Just thought you should know.

People watch the @null account like a hawk! Yes sent STEEM on mistake when I was playing around with some stuff. You are the fourth person to let me know haha!

Lol I was looking at it when @transisto encouraged me to burn SBD to try out @null.promoted
By the way, do you feel like you get any value out of promoting?

Hell no there is no value in promoting. Seems like @transisto noticed that and wants to figure out a way to make a dead feature live again. Maybe he has changed the game with this new project.

Even with that boost the only s I got were from my normal auto upvoters, SBI, and transisto lol. It's too bad, I really believe there should be an incentive to burn crypto.
