Hello Steemians,
On Monday we shared a short update on our progress and now we want to update you on a brand new technology we are developing for Steem called MIRA, which stands for Multi Index RocksDB Adapter. The purpose of MIRA is to allow Steem blockchain nodes to store almost all necessary data on disk in a modern database instead of in RAM. One of the things we are focusing on right now is getting RocksDB working with data consistency. We have the first implementation of MIRA done and building with steemd, and are currently working on debugging and testing.
One advantage of this is that nodes will be more performant on average hardware. The other benefit is that nodes will cost much less to run. In both cases, this helps Steem be more easily adopted by application developers and exchanges. Consequently, Steem should become even more decentralized as the barrier to entry for running nodes is dramatically lowered.
The Steemit Team
Awesome! Decentralisation and lowering of the costs of the full nodes are extremely important.
Is it possible to say by how much this first implementation of Mira will lower the RAM costs?

Now can we get someone to just setup a microsoft visual studio stub project with all the npm dependcies setup...
It would open up the world to working with corporate types, and small businesses using Viual Studio, and Sharepoint.
Not to mention connection to any database in the worldthrought dao and odbc.....
it's a no brainer!!!!
It should take a couple of hours if we got 2 people together:
a Programmer familar Microfoft Studio and npm,
a Programmer or Admin with knowlegable of the depencies to build steemdb, steem and steem/js library and tutorials
A simple step by step with screen snaps tutorial post or a video could be done!
I know at least 10 programmers who would start programming on Steem if that was available....
I assume that the end result would be more nodes coming on line!

I love this idea.
Members of the Steeminati
(that responded to my text)
This is a worthy addition to the Steem Community....
We will be putting up a post up with a BOUNTY reward for a couple of fellow techies to do it!!!!!
It will come out of the Steeminati group pool!
Once verified, The files will will be put on Github and shared with the community.....

What is the main difference between VBA and VSCode? I remember the Microsoft CEO in the CNBC interview about Microsoft purchasing Github,
he states that VSCode is the open source version of VBA, so I assume you must pay for VBA, and I also assume, you might not have access to some of the dependency extensions available to the Open SOurce users. These comments are recent, but there are some pretty legit Mark Down extensions that come very very close to Steemit's style, but I do agree wtith @cyruss33.
THIS WOULD MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

well, from what i hear from the news that trickles down to the hinterland here that might not even be such a far-fetched notion atm ... at the risk of #offtopic on post , i think they're just letting him run into his own demise. The best thing for them do , lol, way better than impeachment since that would mean they're the opposing party and get his quite persistent following on their necks ...
as for the rocksdb thing ... i'm the type o' guy to see it when it gets there ... @goldmanmorgan / @tyrnannoght doesnt really need an SMT as its "virtual" or simulated or whatever you wanna call it (i think technically that could mean i could port it to any chain that allows freebie points and coin to be gathered in the end (by 2050 or so lol) since its only dependent on incoming vote values which could be calculated from any give set (hear me talk lol, like a boss)
however
i always like

it's up to the weirdo's and the freaks to make
creative use of resources then, can we rank-amateurs hack it in a way none of the scholars thought of (as in "hack it" ... slang for do it , please dont mis-understand :))

that's a nice way of saying it ... it doesn't present itself like that , though :) but it IS , i agree, a fabulous new thing to play with hahah. Compared to any kind of hybrid before i havent gotten this creative in years.
The problem there, as it is presented too, is that a lot of people see "creativity" in very narrow, small kinds of ways , you know ?
Like my old man would say only Bach and Mozart is music (so to speak, because he like the stones and the beatles too and stuff like that and more, but you know what i'm getting at, i suppose)
You write some back-end that's pages long for a front-end that doesn't even fill out half a page and "its not writing" ... therefor it is not
its that kind of ancient greek logic that often gets on my system :p
despite all the kindergarten politics making it look like real elected parliament on top is real elected parliament on top and the content fasciscm, making it look like the government doesn't mind hiring legalized mafia as long as they're in place getting the real money.
Despite all that, it's STILL the demoscene of blockchain. I wouldn't even know where to do this with ETH or TRON or EOS, to name but three of the ones who thought themselves big before the great price war against the vampires and the old gold king, because that are all places you have to buy in ... at least here they pretend you can come in without money lol.
And afaik flixxo doesnt HAVE any kind of api as they don't even have their own blockchain and they're completely hybrid, so that's just a platform in essence where you can't get creative in anything but the thing that's already static by the time you upload (whereas i consider my little baby @tyrnannoght to be slowly growing into something truly dynamic, for instance, as it ever-changes by itself ...)
The upcoming (read : promise by Basic Attention Token (BAT - brave browser) is for now still just that : a promise, but that will be nothing more than getting tokens to give tokens out, which is GOOD , because at least you GET some lol, where i think , like flixxo it should also be a bit more dynamic like : if all you do is watch ads and never buy, the amount you get should be less. But they're REALLY slow in development, for instance i got like ... last time i checked 165 videos seeding, must be close to 200 now but the reward-by-seed number has been stuck at the same for a long time now and i can't even scroll down in they UI/client to see the bottom of the list ... for example hahah, on the other hand the speed at which they're moderating is increasing, it doesn't take a month or more anymore to get a video accepted.
other than that ... despite the governments cracking down on ICO's to protect the gullible from themselves (after they asked for it, after they got too greedy and their gullibility got them ripped off) most of it is still marketeers trying to sell hot air or stuff they don't have yet for a wad of cash. All those "crypto-anarchists" either don't make much noise or are long bored since the crypto-capitalists took over.
Other than steemit , bat and flixx i can't really think of anything i checked out that i would even sign up for as its almost all "pay us first so we can next year "maybe" get you a fabulous new system that's an old system with a new name"
and then some ... i probably used up the internet again with the reply but as you see, i still do reply even if its a month ago, maybe i'll even catch up as i'm not talking much lately

I think direction is critical. I am curious about a few things.
Can you through more Ram than required to speed up a node. Say this takes ram requirements down to 16gb. Would having a 64Gb node allow for caching or will that only be Jussi job.
How close to the 4gb ram target do you think the first iteration would take us?
On a node with significant ram (256gb-512gb) would this be slower than the current system?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
These are all fair questions - while a lot of this project is already completed, it will be much easier to answer these questions once we get a little bit closer to completion. I believe the answer to #1 is 'probably not in the first iteration'. This is also being implemented as a plugin, so it can still be done the 'old' way.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t the extra RAM be used by the OS as buffer cache for the disk-backed RocksDB files, like every other disk-backed database?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes, RocksDB itself does technically do this (or not if
allow_os_buffer
is set to false) - certain things could also be supported through runtime/compile time options. I believe the OP may have been asking about something more like using different storage methods for portions of the DB and not necessarily OS level caching.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible.

By my underatanding things are moving ahead nicely with a rocksDB module implimentation. Using rocksDB (the DB standing for DataBase) will allow the system to store vast amounts of data on the hard drive, which up to now had been floating around RAM. This large amount of RAM required and (growing with the blockchain's growth) had been increasing the cost of running a seed and/or witness nodes. Running things with the rocksDB Module (MIRA) will drastically reduce server costs and increase the decentralization of the network with more nodes coming online.
Because of the module nature of MIRA it does not require a Hard Fork and running with or without it will not make a node uncompatable with the rest of the network, so can decide to make the upgrade at their own choosing.

There are only about 13-20 full nodes of Steem in the world (At least public nodes) because it is very expensive to run a full node. To rent a server that can run a full node, you need roughly 750 GBs to 1 TBs of RAM. We are talking about some 900 USD per month just for the proper hardware. The RocksDB implementation is a storage layer that takes the data out of the RAM and puts it onto a SSD instead. This means that the cost to run a full node can be significantly reduced. This also means more people can run the steem blockchain which further decentralizes the chain.

I hope the cost to run a full node drops significantly so that we can properly proliferate the network outwards to more servers.

Great news. Making nodes cheaper will definitely help adoption. I can't wait to run my own!

So you're basically just focusing on this, right? Whether it's the right move or not, I'll leave up to the experts. I can only say that I appreciate the updates! Keep them coming...

I sense, at this time, it is the only move. Steemit cannot afford to run the way they were and need to cut the node cost. From what the "experts" tell me, having much smaller nodes is a cost reduction.
It seems that Steemit's focus (reducing costs) aligns with the community's (decentralization) since less expensive nodes will allow others to set them up.

I've also heard some arguments against it though. That it could possibly have some performance issues?

That is the great part of the module aporoach, from the sound of it. An answer to a question from themarkymark in these comments made it sound like committed RAM may, perhaps, be adjustable in the finished version. At least it was not flately denied.
P.S. Right now you can run with or without the mod.

I am looking for any excuse to stop powering down but unfortunately this kind of news does not get me excited about the future of Steem. Too technical, too esoteric, too focused on damage control. Yeah I know RocksDB makes Steem more efficient but it doesn't do anything to make Steem more fun for posters or bloggers.

This RocksDB update will reduce the hardware costs of running a decentralized app (dApp). This would in turn help bring more and better dApps. Posters and bloggers need better dApps (better UI, better features, etc.) in order to have more fun and a better experience. So this update is about laying the groundwork.
Since Steem is a network with many owners (rather than a single company owning it), I imagine you could request a plain English translation from the community and the community will deliver. Communication is up to all of us. Many people are willing to help - it doesn't have to come from Steemit, Inc.

It's not Steemits responsibility to bring users to the dapps, that's the responsibility of the Dapps. Steemit is just the most popular dapp out there.

Apps need users. What good are all these apps if no one is using them or there is no marketing? Yeah ok. Apps and devs will be the only users.

On the upside, when users run out of RC's, and can't do anything for 24 hours, , they'll have lots of long techy posts to read..

;-) good take @@@lucylin
@dana-edwards - IMHO, this will result in cost reduction for dApps too as many of them run full RPC nodes. The cost saved can be used to developer better user experience for the bloggers.

Steemit is not the only way to use the blockchain. Othr apps have been created that have implimented many of the features users have been asking for like https://steempeak.com for example.

All of these apps still crosspost to steemit.com, they just have more features. SteemPeak is new but has been growing pretty fast. All these apps are is another way to access the steem blockchain so it is still posting to steemit. https://steemapps.com

As the speed of SSD approaches that of RAM, then RAM and HD will become one as good as the other I guess, and change DB architecture a bit, won't it, cutting out the need for RAM/HD swapping, saving a lot of CPU work, making node operations even more efficient, or am I pushing the boundaries beyond what is possible with present software formats...??

Is this testing the reason there are some glitches happening on Steemit for the past few days? For example, yesterday my profile said I was following 538 people when I only follow 49. My followers were wrong too. Today, it is correct again. Today, when I click replies it sometimes says I am new and have no replies yet. I refresh Steemit and my replies are there.
