Debian 10 server, 4Gb Ram, 80GB Storage.... time4vps

If you have an extra computer at your home, and you forward the ports correctly on your router, you should be able to run a witness in your home, and I would like that. If you end up running a witness in your home, I will vote for your witness.

Having witness machines outside the cloud makes our network more resilient.

It doesn't matter if witnesses miss a block or two from time to time, what matters is that if pieces of Internet infrastructure fail, does the blurt network continue to operate?

I have been thinking about a backup server at home... I was wondering what other people are doing

I am currently 100% in the cloud but that will change in a couple of ways over the next few months. First of all, I am going to move and I am going to install and service at my home, and at my new home, I will run at least one blurt node.

Additionally, I have been trading and stuff.

I made a little mistake trading earlier today but it was a happy mistake and it left me with some extra blurt so I am going to create a second, higher bounty for a big big goal of mine, a proper arm64 blurt build.

Then, blurt runs on Pi.

mine won't be fancy like yours, but at least I will have something that is not cloud...

American ISPs have data caps on home internet and it'd be quite hard to run one at home here. Blurt is small for now, but when the block_log file gets to be as large as Hive, it will cost me 1/3 of my total cap just to download it.

Same problem down here in México. Our only option for now is the cloud hope this changes in the near future.

Is there a current list of nodes?
