Announcing New Public Full Node

eturnerx (64) · 6 years ago

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 6 years ago

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.

chevalier (45) · 6 years ago

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

$0.00

themarkymark (78) · 6 years ago

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.

beggars (64) · 6 years ago

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.

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
