Seed is up, Just Started my Witness work

Fellow Colleagues on Steemit,

After a bit of experimentations (ok few days of experimentation) :) I setup my seed node, and the witness one.

I also a put a public p2p node steem.certic.info:2001 for the benefit of community. Not all of plugins are loaded, but hey, steemit growth a bit above the amount of RAM I can physically put into my server.

Currently, it's on PowerEdge R710, with 240 GB Ram. (ESXi Virtualized), so it's about 180G shm file once Vcenter and other' take their piece of the pie. I'll try to experiment a bit and load some additional plugins as much as it can handle. Right now, (assuming I am doing everything correctly), account_history does not get's satisfied with 200G of RAM.

For the price updates, I am using lazy-steem script https://github.com/develCuy/lazy-steem
It's very easy to setup and run from Crontab.

Bandwidth wise, it's not much, but at least what's served it's going to get served fast.

I'm glad I am able to help a bit to this community, and encourage you to do the same. If you have questions on setting up your nodes, feel free to drop them in comments, and I will be happy to assist. More nodes do benefit community.

Have a great weekend! This one was exciting to me as I learned something new. Noticed I am doing something wrong? Please do let me know in comments bellow.
