Utopian for the Blockchain Competence Centre of the European commission.

Utopian.io is running this task request on behalf of the Blockchain Competence Centre of the European commission for the European Financial Transparency Gateway initiative. Rewards generated on this post will be sent as Liquid STEEM to the task solver.

The scope of this task is to document the process of running the Steem blockchain. This documentation will be ultimately used to build a new web-based app for investors in European companies, with a simple to use frontend and useful search/reporting features. Future task requests will be available for the development of the web-based app.

The contributor should provide:

• the architecture.
• minimum requirements for the VMs computing power and storage.
• firewall setup (opened ports and protocols) requirements for operating system and also for all dependencies.
• step by step instructions (command lines) on how to start and connect different type of peers.
• step by step instructions (command lines) on how to generate the genesis block (first block) and the first key pair.
• specifying how to modify the number of minimum/maximum witnesses based on different network topologies.
• specifying how to modify the blocksize (if needed for some specific projects).
  all the config files.
• documenting all the steps needed to install, configure and start the Steemit condenser on this specific steem private network.
• documenting all the steps needed to install, configure and start the Steemdb blockexplorer on this specific Steem

The exact number of each type of peer and the number of virtual machines needed will be discussed after the first proposal of the architecture. The private Steem network will have its own chainid, tokens supply and config files.

This private Steem network will be used in corporate projects, so the proposed architecture should take into consideration the needed High Availability, Security, and Scalability features. (also the need of a VPN network)
