Steem blockchain grows quickly and we need more space to keep that blockchain. Witness, seed and RPC nodes should keep steem blockchain and blocks logs. Right now, block_log file is 85GB and that is growing fast.(block_log file included any upvote, comment, post, follow, unfollow, transfer, power up, power down, ...) According to that, minimum requirement RAM for running a seed or witness node is growing too. Right now, 32GB RAM is not enough.
Recently, I upgraded my witness and seed node from 32GB RAM to 64 GB RAM. Both servers are in Germany and both work well. My seed node address is node.mahdiyari.info:2001 which is included in official steem repositories.
My servers details:
i7-6700 Skylake CPU
500GB SSD
64GB RAM
1Gbs/s Network
My projects:
I'm working on steemauto.com, 'schedule post' page is under maintenance. And we have some problems in the voting section.
Also, steemfollwer.com will return with a new interface. Thanks for your patience.
My position on the witnesses list is #111 with 2,028 MV votes and 482 voters. Thanks to all of my 482 supporters. My registration fee is 0.100 (actually 3.000 STEEM) with only missed one block.
If you like what I'm doing for steem community, please vote me as a witness.
