Upgraded to New Server - @stuwhisson Witness Update

Update

Just a quick update to you all. The 16gb 200GB 4 x Core server I was running, was running out of RAM and the SWAP wasn't cutting it. Noticed this week that it had crashed a couple of times. I think we are now fast approaching a point where those who still have 16GB servers are going to have to upgrade or get booted.

I've now future proofed for a while at least:

32GB DDR3 ECC RAM
2 x 2TB HDD
Xeon E3 (4 Cores/8 Threads)
20TB Bandwidth

All the security bits n bobs (notice the use of technical jargon there) have been applied to the server. I've updated it all and running a hourly price feed. Witness node appears to be running smoothly.

Given the rate that Steem is growing and the subsequent increase in the size of the Witness, I should be good for about 2 weeks! haha. It's alarming how quickly the size of that block is growing and for now, I think 32GB will keep us going along nicely. Come the day, we hope really, that we will look back at 32GB with whimsy and laugh to ourselves.
