RE: Witness Survey - @themarkymark

What are the minimum requirements for a server? So I can start a Witness?

Are there any plans to make witnessing more efficient? I would love to run a little node or smthn on my old Gaming PC.
Because my PC just stands there and is not being used (didnt game for 2 years now) and wants to do some maths..
While I would love to distribute to decentralization, as student I have no money to rent a server..

Besides that, great Interview!

Sort:  

Ideally, a 64Gb ram server with nvme drives and decent cpu.

But you can get by with 32gb ram and decent ssd disk if you don’t mind longer replay times.

Thanks for your answer.
I guess I still have to wait.. until the requirements are less or I earn money..

The focus is reducing full node requirements but witness node memory creep may be addresssed at some point as well. Hopefully.
