Thank you!

Awesome! We need more public full nodes.

Are SMTs delayed or they will come as scheduled?

Thanks for being one helluva guy @markymark fist bump, high 5!, Hugs ..... whichever you fancy. One Steem blockchain but takes many troopers to hold the course ⚓🎶💯🌅💪

Thank you! I don't remember if I've already voted for your witness but I'll check.

Good work, I will add the node to beem and @fullnodeupdate.

Posted using Partiko Android

Hey, @themarkymark.

Thanks for doing this. I agree with you that there needs to be more public full nodes, and hopefully with the changes already made and supposedly still to come, that will become more and more a possibility. You've been at the forefront of explaining what it really takes to run a full node, and I appreciate that, too.

Now, I'm going to show my ignorance. :) When you say give the node a try, how does one do that? I mean, can I somehow set steemit, or busy, or steempeak to use your node? I've wondered about that in the past, but never found a way to choose a node.

The only place I've seen that option available is on steemworld.

You can set it in SteemWorld but Full Nodes are mostly geared to developers of dApps.

Nicely done! 🙌🏼

Excellent! A public API node means a witness vote from me. Well, I was already voting for your witness - but if I wasn't this would've got my support.

thanks for awareness on nodes..im concerned. does that mean steemit could possibly go under and be discontinued?
that would be very disasters for many

The point of an additional full node is to help decentralize Steem and provide a better quality of service to apps and services.

that is good. that would make it more attractive. to new users. as well to bring new people over

@themarkymark, are you a witness?

Thank you for the the informative post. Resteem!

Is your testing script open-sourced?

No, but I will put it up at some point, working on a new one that is more comprehensive.

Thanks for the full node I just gave you a witness upvote.

Posted using Partiko Android

Thanks

Thanks for this, I rely heavily on open nodes for my little followers app, it would not be possible to have created if not for people who ran full nodes.

Gave you a witness vote ages ago, thanks for continuing your contribution.

Are we going to get to a point where we can use some sort of distributed network where we can all have some sort of mini node at home or at give access to our home computers to share the load and run a tiny bit of the infrastructure ourselves?
and a big thank you, I would feel a lot happier about the future security of this blockchain if it was all run by you, Emre, Bernie and a couple of others

Even if the hardware becomes a fast cpu, 4Gb ram, and fast drives the bandwidth requirements are too much for a home user.

Old post I know, but what are the bandwidth requirements out of curiosity?

Cool, approved and following 👍 I think every serious top witness should also run at least one full node, especially now that it has been made easier to run one :)

It’s not really easier and I am not convinced HiveMind is stable enough. The post made it sound much easier than it is resources wise.

Nice! Can you share cost and server spec information? I've been curious as to what costs this racks up in a month now with Hivemind now implemented.

I don't understand, but sounds encouraging, ty

This seems like a good idea. Thoughtful and transparent.

Given that this blockchain might be better served by more public full nodes, what can/ should people here do to make that a reality?

Great work! In your view @markymark has there been real progress by Stinc towards reducing the RAM requirements of full nodes yet or is it just promises?

Posted using Partiko iOS

As far as I understand that has already been done.

https://steemit.com/dtube/@exyle/e05ebhbs

Account History on RocksDB greatly reduced full node memory usage by almost half. HiveMind will reduce it further, I am not running HiveMind though, I am doing full SteemD & RocksDB. You still need a lot to run a HiveMind based full node.

You are looking at 4-5 machines rather than one, but they can be each be lower ram than one big one. The more ram you get, the price goes up exponentially not linearly, that's where the savings come in.

Once everything can be stored on disk, then you will really see cheap nodes.

Hypothetically, what exactly would happen to Steemit if Steemit Inc. folds? Would it just run super slow or would it be game over for Steemit?

Steemit != Stemm

Stem Cells? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Steem can still persist without Steemit Inc. It's much better if we don't have to.

This is a game changer for me and the steem blockchain knowing you are running a full node.

Gonna switch today!!! thumbsup

Great news!
Steemit needs new public nodes. Are you planning to switch API methods like get_accounts, get_content etc?
I just tested and catch errors "Could not find method get_accounts"

I am running Steemd, not HiveMind, so I have the full API that is provided by AppBase. When I feel comfortable, I'll consider switching to HiveMind infrastructure.

Not many dApps let you choose a node. Nodes are mostly to support app developers and their projects and less about normal users directly and their daily activity.

awesome! So my vote for your witness is well deserved. Any top20 witness should (must!) run a public full node...

Wish I understood this post lol

Posted using Partiko Android

Great news. This is awesome for the decentralization of the Steem blockchain!

Its a good service to offer public full nodes for dev' and dapp devs, on which at the end, the end users will be the one benefited for this service.

You deserve a witness vote from us.

thank you.

Voted again.

Be cool if we could use more that one of our votes on the same witness, eh? 😎

This post has been included in the latest edition of SOS Daily News - a digest of all you need to know about the State of Steem.

• Editor of the The State of Steem SoS Daily News.

• Promoter of The State of Steem SoS Weekly Forums.

• Editor of the weekly listing of steem radio shows, podcasts & social broadcasts.

• Founder of the A Dollar A Day charitable giving project.

What does it take to run an independent node? What are the costs? Is it comparable to running a Bitcoin node?

A Steem Full node is an API node to field requests from dApps and services. A Bitcoin node would be closer to a Seed node than a Full node.

So I'm guessing a Full node takes substantially more resources?

Yes, due to the state being in ram. The hope is to reduce it to 4GB ram, but you still need NVMe disks and a high-end CPU. So it will never be "cheap", just cheaper.

Love your work @themarkymark I would love to know how you went about setting up a full node? Because I am interested in setting one up as well, the future of Steem depends on full available nodes and I am willing to incur the cost.

I would love to know what preexisting software you used or perhaps a guide? I am technically capable and familiar with serves, command line Linux, AWS and so on. I want to get onboard.

I have previous experience running four full nodes for almost a year. This is where you want to start.

https://github.com/steemit/steem

Very good and interesting before you try it a few questions, is it handled online or is it downloaded to the team? How much memory would you spend when executing?

It is for App developers mostly.

I'm really excited to use a powerful and fully-equipped community owned nodes, already integrated it as the default node for my Stratos project, which is implementing communities using custom_json.

I don't know why more people aren't voting for you; you're one of the best witnesses around and should definitely be in top 21!

Excellent, Great work

Thanks for sharing!

Posted using Partiko Android

It is mostly for programmers, yes. It is also for building a decentralized Steem.

Great! I just voted for you as a witness :)

I tried to add your node to https://steemnow.com, but I get this error when I try to connect with https://rpc.usesteem.com using Steem.JS.

> Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://rpc.usesteem.com/' from origin 'https://www.steemnow.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Give it a go now, just enabled CORS.

Thanks, but it doesn't work yet. The error is a bit different:

> Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://rpc.usesteem.com/' from origin 'https://www.steemnow.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

Try now.

Thanks! This issue has been fixed, but Steem.js now gives this Javascript error when I use rpc.usesteem.com.

> Error: Bad Cast:Invalid cast from type 'array_type' to Object at new e (steem.min.js:4) at steem.min.js:4

Here's the part of my script than runs into the error message. I don't get the error using another node.

> steem.api.setOptions({url:'https://rpc.usesteem.com'});
steem.api.getDynamicGlobalProperties(function(err, result) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
....
}

You need to specify useAppbaseApi: true, I do not use Jussi to shield against AppBase.

steem.api.setOptions({useAppbaseApi: true, url: 'https://rpc.usesteem.com'});

I can see you are in now. All good right?

Great, it works now!

super buen contenido @themarkymark te mereces lo mejor

About 96.56$ has been spent to promote this content.

Actually far less since Minnowbooster didn't have the vote inventory.

Something wrong with your bidbot?
43 steem to it gets a lower value vote of $10 than a 25 steem bid to upmewhale £12.

Yes that may be correct, but it is once again an indication of a witness trying to get the word out about the importance of funding the blockchain. The publisher of this content is putting his money where his mouth is!

Some folks complain; others, like yourself, take action! @berniesanders brought up this topic some months ago and @timcliff responded to it in his post: Steem Blockchain "Full" RPC Node List.

I am going to vote for you. beacose if i help some body ,then some body will help me some day

How much does it cost / month to run a full node supporting the steem blockchain? This is something that we as a community need to be proactive on (thank you for being proactive and getting this going).

very good !

Could you please write for the ignorants on steemit, like me, what are nods, why should they be publicly available, why witnesses do something with nodes and so on. I can understand a lot, but woeshhh it went over my head, and looking for info on nodes now.

The node referenced in this post is a full node which is used to support Apps on the chain. A public node is used to query the blockchain and issue transactions.

Ok, but i understood that witnesses were running nodes. How come with 50 witnesses we aren't completely covered for both?

There are three types of nodes (all of which run the same software but in different configurations).

• Witness
• Seed
• Full or Partial Node

There is also HiveMind that can act as a partial full node and is different than a typical steemd node.

All three run the witness functionality called consensus

good!

Resteemed and about to vote for you for witness. You know the situation perfectly.

)))маза фак

any of these still work for vessel? im always getting asked for working rpc nodes like their crack lol
