Hive account@someguy123 - reread this post and decided to dig through comments. So are you saying that a $30 server from Privex could still work as a "witness" node? Or is it absolutely mandatory that we need 64GB+.

I'd like to, if possible, start off with something small (since it would be coming out of pocket), and then scale over time if possible. If you could provide a bit more depth on this, I'd really appreciate it. Ideally something sub $100/mo. I don't mind shelling out until I grow a voter base/expand my skillset further.

Thanks in advance!
