RE: Ausbitbank Witness Update 12/6/17 (New Weekly Giveaway)
My original backup node was an 8GB VPS with 300gb HDD , but it was sloow and restarts/resyncs took forever. 32gb 8 core dedicated machine is much better, SSD's are a huge boost too but will be expensive as the chain expands.
The top tier users run way more powerful hardware again with redundant backups, I'd recommend browsing back through the #witness and #witness-category posts for more info
Cheers. I'm interested and keen to support the platform. Just gotta get my head around where to start!
It's not something I'd suggest for a new user.. I was using the platform for at least 9 months, networking and developing apps and learning about the blockchain and ecosystem before I felt ready to announce my witness campaign.
Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I obviously need to spend more time networking and getting my head around the platform before is try and jump into something complicated. I hope you don't mind me calling for advice when the time comes!
No worries, message anytime
