Hey everyone — here's a quick, informative follow up to the post about our mega upgrades earlier this week: We have completed all 64GB witness server updates.

This is just a really quick update to confirm that we've completed all the goals we set out to finish up this week. Smooth sailing here; no chances of downtime based on being unprepared or disorganized about critical memory levels. We're ready to face the future of the chain with upgraded and replayed servers that are ready to roll. In case you missed it, here are the stats for the newly beefed up servers:

Witness Server Details

• (DEDI-DE) 64GB DDR3 RAM

• 20TB BW @ 1gbps network

We are running 1 main witness node and 1 backup witness node currently. These are located in separate data centers.
We also run a seed node at seed.followbtcnews.com
And we run a Full Public RPC node located at steemd.minnowsupportproject.org

We want to make sure all our servers are top notch and able to support the Steem blockchain.

Our goal is to be ready to be a top 20 witness when our supporters are ready to put us there

 
Thanks for bearing with us as we work on making all our resources better. Feel free to chat with myself or Crim if you need anything else.

We have some more updates later this week about Steem.chat and some other nice surprises!
