RE: Thanks @nextgencrypto
Well, you can always just use the script I just finished instead.
I doubt that you will be able to get an RPC node running without spending at least $200 on a dedicated server rent for a month or about $2000 bux on a system with 256Gb of memory (I dunno even where you buy such a thing, desktop motherboards usually top out at 64-128gb, probably need to go to specialist server suppliers for that).
If you just want to get a new account, you can always use anonsteem. Or you could ask @noganoo, at the discord, he made @calibrae using his own scripts, I'm sure he'd be happy to do it for you at cost, at least.
I am quite sure that you will feel like after all the headache it's worth just buying the account, but then again, you might learn something by trying to do it yourself. After all, Calibrae is going to be API compatible with the current state of things, and by God that API is gonna stay stable, or I will personally execute whoever tricks me into letting a merge be done that breaks the API. With a plastic spoon!
Also, it's paying off already just to see the fucktards squirm who are trying to suppress the visibility of my work. They are gonna have to do a lot to push down l0k1's reputation. None of the adversaries so far have enough rep to put a dint in this account's rep.
Time to run around the place watering plants, yet will have to look into these alternatives in a bit.
Don't think I have 2 years to let it sync....
And definitely don't want to burn up my lappy with it, pretty high system loads and seemingly only to increase....
Keeping my eyes peeled, despite what those who disagree think or try to do.
TY
If a VPS with 50Gb memory and SSD can't sync even to 5 August in 8 days, I don't see how a laptop could manage.
