Saw it now, sorry, wasn't aware of ur awareness:)
2 your concern of load on the API, i think load is the first indicator of success and worth thinking about. like some sort of incentive 4 users 2 share their comp's resources... but as i'm diving deeper, it bcomes clear 2me, that i'm trying 2 reinvent steem and that job is already done, pretty fucking well.
If i can help u by my old cpu/hd/bandwidth and even 4 redundancyz sake, i'll gladly do.
