I would be happy to setup a node.
I tried to use beem-blurt to play around and found lack of documentation also in discord. If you can refer me to the best documentation to setup a node it would be graet.
And happy your Thai initiative went well, welcome back.

Thank you @khrom
Got anything an everyday PC user could understand?
It can't be simpler for now. Maybe in the future. For now, I will say that if you are not able to handle it, even if someone fails you, what will you do if it breaks down? (happens sometimes).
For example, I don't understand everything like a sabion or tekaze . I just use their ready-made commands on the witness chat for re-synchronization or repair, but in general I have knowledge of how to install it and I understand what these commands do, what a condenser, docker is and how the process works installation and what happens during it because I have the basics. For me, the problem is the lack of advanced knowledge about what can be done and how, because I do not yet have good technical knowledge of the blockchain itself and the solutions used in it (I am still learning in my free time).
If you want to run a node, I suggest you familiarize yourself with these basics, and for more advanced things, you can simply contact the dev chat and someone will always help you there.
The point is that understanding these basics will give you the ground to look for advanced solutions. Without the basics, you won't even know what question to ask and you always must looking help outside.
the basics to cover are:
There is just few days of lerning to know enough to install node.
You are capable to understand it co i encourage just to tray first ;) You always get another skills for your self ;)
The rest is in the manual and basically is simple as copy and paste.
Thanks for explaining what it would entail to run a witness node properly.
It reminds me why I gave up when I tried to do it before!
My degree was in nursing and psychiatry. I never took a single computer course. I've been using personal computers every day for 40 years, and the internet since it became available, but I have no idea about networking or programming. I simply have a knowledge hole exactly where the skills for running a blockchain node are. With enough time and dedication, I could probably get it working, but as you pointed out, would I be able to handle issues that came up? Besides, do I even have a few days to dedicate to a new skill? With my health and my young children right now, I think the answer is no.
I think witnessing is about even more than just running a node, so even if I managed to do that, there's no guarantee I would succeed at being a witness.
Anyhow, thanks for the info : )
I have been following your blog for a long time and it would be good to have such a devoted Witness on the platform.
Whether it would take you a few days or less to learn it, I don't know. If you are bright, maybe even less. However, of course you need to be willing to delve deeper into the topic.
As for qualifications, I believe that there are never enough of them. You never know when something will come in handy in your life ;)
Well, maybe one day you'll find the time to figure it out. I'm here to help if needed.
I can help you, set setup your fresh node. Just reach me via Discord DM please and we can chat there.
Awesome…. I will Vote for your Blurt Witness …
Hopefully we can get @apshamilton, @brianofLondon and a few others to join us on Blurt.
You'd love to continue ruining this great place, wouldn't you?
Well if you do that, your "passive income source" (ie the place you leech from) will go away. Haven't thought that far ahead?
...the whole system is already spluttering - it's 'baked in to fail' - it's inevitable - the only question, is the timeline...
@offgridlife (just like wtp until he took a wrong turn) has played the game far better than myself.
He, like wtp (until he took a wrong turn), had/has the entire system sussed out - and has played it beautifully. Kudos.
And far better than myself, goddamn it! lol
There is no 'far ahead' in terms of DPoS - and a multitude of other crypto's - (even btc itself, possibly).
like wtp (until he took a wrong turn) -
By that you mean disengaging with you and Blurt for a year, to spend my valuable time building and selling a business from scratch for a stupid amount of money?
What is your big accomplish in 2023? Blogging for peanuts on a platform where 9 out of 10 people can't stand you?
No my friend - I mean you had the system totally sussed..You had it bang on (I was incorrect).
(edit - i found the screenshot for you...100% correct)..
*It would be great if there was a tool on blurt to download an accounts posts, btw- it's bloody time consuming copy and pasting posts and comments
You need to stop trying so hard my friend - it projects weakness not strength
....and there you again...lol
... 9 out of ten? - I would have estimated at least 95 out of hundred, myself...- (the parento principle, to the to the power of three?)
Have you really not recovered from your ego pain, yet?
(blame your c.i.A handlers - it's not your fault- but it is your responsibility to grow up)
Have a great new year my friend !
*...top tip - emotional, vitriolic outbursts, make you look ugly, dim and extremely immature/insecure - (I can help you wit that !).
dropping the price this week just for you... ;) lol
You really need to deal with your ego issues, my friend.
It's embarrassing.
(you're making yourself look ridiculous. Please stop)
I'm not your enemy...
Who are you again?
It’s a lot like YouTube. You just need to figure out the algorithms. 😂
You and your pesky 'algorithm game talents', versus me, and my pesky 'philosophical game strategy'...
YOU WIN !
(you git..lol...).
Dtube is even better.
Passive income is a ton of work.
There is no such thing as passive income.
