Witness Update
As many of you know I'm the lead developer for HoneyComb, which is a Hive Layer 2 solution for smart contracts. This is currently powering Decentralized Limitless User eXperiences, dlux.io, the Speak Network Claim Chain and Ragnarok backend DUAT. Our Layer 2 currently has over 100 registered nodes and this is only likely to grow. To help alleviate some of the demand on the current public nodes I've set up a Hive Witness with Account History and Transaction Status. This is no small piece of hardware:
Dedicated Server with
- 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- 64G DDR4 RAM
- 4x 1TB SSDs each on their own NVMe
- 1gbps network
This has been purring along nicely for about a week, but my current node was still experiencing some issues of it's own. I'll be bringing up a backup Hive node to sign blocks and when that's stable I'll release the API details of this dedicated server.
I've also heard some rumors that the setup of this API will be changing with some new software on team @blocktrades ... Implementation of this may also impact the release of the API details... hopefully for the better.
As always I thank you for your consideration for your witness vote.
SPK Update
I've been working on building out the multi-token ecosystem and the Proof-of-Access reward system for the decentralized IPFS storage protocol. The communities vision is becoming reality every day. I'll be back on Cryptomaniacs podcast on the 28th to talk more about our progress; and I expect to release some more technical details here shortly.
These are not bad specs! But is 64 GB RAM enough for a node? I have the impression to remember vaguely that in the past with Steemit more like 128 GB were needed for a Witness node =)
There has been some work done on the base code to help push data to the hard disks. Check out the current usage.

It looks like everything is fine. The multi-sig wallet takes about 10 minutes to clear, and there were some collateral limits.
collateral limits were the problem :D All fine, thanks for the fast reply :P
