Sounds good. :) Your machine should be more than sufficient. For a witness node, you currently need something like 600GB. The most recommended storage is NVMe but I'm sure your SSD will work just fine, and you can put the shared memory in RAM.

And now I am stuck. I cannot get the CLI_Wallet instance to run, even while running the local hived instance after creating a config.ini. It appears the block log is syncing, albeit it very slowly - does it need to be fully synced before the CLI_Wallet can be used to generate the brainkey for the witness node?
Edit: 2 hours later :D
Nevermind, I figured that out myself, only took two hours of poking around. The config.ini in the same dir as the
hivedapplication was not being used, instead it was a different directory in my config file.I have now got the cli wallet appearing to operaating. The chain is syncing and that will take some time, so I am waiting (probably a few days) for that occur before I can likely do anything else, correct?
Yes, your node first has to reach the present time so it can start validating blocks in real-time. I recommend waiting for a bit after that to make sure everything is working correctly, setting your price feed, and then activating your witness.
The initial sync might take some time. But this made me think of some possible improvement there, so I opened this issue for it: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive/-/issues/793
Oh, it is NVME :) I will give it a shot in the coming days and see how I go.
Seems to be going fine so far, up to the build step of the above tutorial
