My witness journey update...

So, after two days eagerly swallowing every post and guide about building witness and seed nodes, i finalized the implementation of both servers, as seen in my witness publishing post here https://steemit.com/witness-category/@windforce/windforce-for-witness .

For the witness, i prepared beforehand a quite powerful dedicated server which i rent from @privex , the "witness professionals" , and for the seed i rented a similar server in another location.

Installation for the seed went relatively smooth, buth then the blockchain has increased considerably, and 8GB memory is now barely enough ( after waiting half an hour for one of the numerous replay, the system runs sometimes out of memory at 95% - this happened to me like 10 times ). I therefore upgraded the seed server to 16G memory as well. Got it eventually working , and it's doing it's stuff now at a very good latency every time i checked.

You can see it in the steem seed nodes list here https://status.steemnodes.com/ , mine is named "seed.windforce.farm".

The witness install, which is normally more complicated than the seed, went smooth like a baby's cheek, and is doing his tuff at a steady pace since then.

Last but not least, i already got votes for witness from @moisesmcardona and @cuteve ( update - @melooo182 as well ), thank you for jumping in for me so fast.
