Announcing a SteemSTEM Witness and Seed Node

steemstem in #steemstem • 6 years ago

For the past few weeks, we at SteemSTEM have been running a witness (@stem.witness) quietly as we continued to become familiar with necessary processes and performing updates during the Hardfork 20 transition period.

We are now ready to officially announce our entrance into the witness list.

The stem.witness configuration

The SteemSTEM witness (stem.witness) is being run on a Hetzner server hosted in Germany with the following specifications:

Intel® Xeon® E3-1275 v5 Quad-Core
64 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
2X 512 GB NVMe Gen3 SSD
1 Gb/s Bandwidth

With sufficient room to expand both ram and storage space as Steem’s needs continue to grow with time.

We are also running a broadcast node (with the same server specifications as described for stem.witness) to assist others who would like to have access to the blockchain.

Please have a look to 159.69.58.17.
_{[OK, maybe in a few hours as we are currently replaying, after the upgrade to 0.20.5 earlier this morning.]}

Why Is SteemSTEM Running A Witness and a Node?

We have been and continue to be dedicated to growing a community of STEM posters and supporting the creation of high quality STEM content on the Steem blockchain.

Our plans include the upcoming - very soon ;) - release of the official SteemSTEM app enabling us to grow our userbase to new heights. With this app in hand, we hope to reach research institutes from all over the world and bring them on Steem as primary sources of scientific information on the Web. In other words, we aim to utilize the Steem blockchain as a STEM communication medium.

The success of the SteemSTEM project is deeply linked with the success of Steem as a whole and as such we wish to do our part in maintaining the security of the blockchain as well as to continue to show our dedication to Steem.

With the issues that have been on-going with the HF20 transition, we have also thought about the way in which we could help better. And it is all about testing. Being a community of several hundreds of active Steemians, our best option is incontrovertibly to make use of this size to participate in the testnet efforts, trying to assess how a relatively large number of users could make Steem behave.

How To Vote

To vote for the SteemSTEM witness, please go to https://steemit.com/~witnesses and type stem.witness into the box at the very bottom of the page:

We thank you for your support and continue to thank each of you for the opportunity you all provide us to grow and develop a STEM community with the potential to change the very nature by which cutting edge information is shared on the Internet.

Yeah, I agree that it's a great start! Being in top 100 is also pretty nice, since it will be a lot easier for people to vote for you. You might even get some votes from people browsing the witness list and thinking "Hey, I like @steemstem, so I should vote on these guys" - which would be impossible at above top 100 position.

And I'm looking forward to more announcements. The SteemSTEM app sounds very interesting, and it will be great to be able to learn about it.

What is your opinion on delivery and execution of HF20?
Did you test it before?

0.00 BPC

justtryme90 6 years ago

We were not involved in the early testnet for HF 20, we will be making efforts to try to be involved in future major releases (the coming SMT enabling hardfork for instance).

We implemented 0.20.0 as soon as it was publically available and then spent the next days downgrading and upgrading along with all the other witnesses and node runners.

Overall it was a good experience (for us) as we learned a bunch about appropriately running a witness, and quickly reviewing and implementing updates.

Plus replaying is just so much fun ;)

It is cool you are going to be a witness but all exemplary that you will be running your own public node. The other big apps with their fancy delegations need to follow your lead and contribute more to the infrastructure of steem like this.

0.00 BPC

justtryme90 6 years ago

It's necessary if a group is dedicated to steem. More nodes increases reliability for everyone. This is something that GTG and other top witnesses encourage, and we really see the value in it.

First witness question - what does 20.5 do? 20.4 was announced but this is the second time I've seen an upgrade to 20.5 mentioned without details.

Edit: found it in the github. I'm not sure what that bug would have done unfixed, but it isn't a notable change from out here.

@lemouth, thanks forn respondign. I've had one issue contributing to #steemstem. I am a real time researcher and I do report my researches in a scientifically official way, yet, this does not meet #steemstem standard which requires that a social language be applied to posts. Is there a way to allow for report of scientific and engineering contributions in a typical scientific way, may be a report of practical researches you have done. To me this will help as @steemstem heads on to collaborate with research institutes. My new research institution can find this very useful. My interests are engineering designs, agriculture, soil and water resources and processing of agro/food products.

0.00 BPC

lemouth 6 years ago

I am not sure to understand how state-of-the-art researchs would not be suitable to steemstem standards. This is definitely the topic we support the most and I don't understand how this would not meet our standards (maybe the reason is different). I recommend you to contact our mentor crew to see with them what is going on with your posts.

On the other hand, do not hesitate to put us in contact with your institute. We will be more than happy to help them broadcasting on Steem!

oh @justtryme90 , can i use the ip-address provided as i would https://api.steemit.com to interact with condenser ? i use that a lot for @ubasti, @sakhmet , @maahes , @goldmanmorgan and future @tyrnannoght , also for my autovoters running 24/7 (on a server that cost about €100 heheh) , it never hurts to have a backup node , or is that fallback ? lingo is not my terrain either as syntax is a waste of brainspace since the 1e100 knows

Our node is a brodcast node/seed, for node to node communication. So no, it can't be used for helping with your bots accessing the chain unfortunately.

ah, @justtryme90, sir, i loathe the word "bot" when it comes to my work :)

i don't run bots, they dont post themselves, its a collection of scripts that generates the posts with an AWFUL lot of variables and calculations

i think @goldmanmorgan is around

that's just the executables for one of them and that's far from halfway, but i know you come in peace :p well that's a damn shame then, thanks for replying :) :) :)

0.00 BPC

justtryme90 6 years ago

As things grow further, it would be great if we could afford to run an additional node for better application access. For now it's just really expensive, and we don't even break even on what we do run (which is fine, we're not doing this for money, but to support the chain and resultant ecosystem).

irelandscape 6 years ago

Well you'll definitely get my (small) vote.
And yes, witnesses really need to cooperate and do a serious post mortem of what went wrong with HF20 upgrade.
The mainnet should never be upgraded as a whole at once.
A couple of nodes at first for app developers to try. Then scale up progressively.

Backward compatibility should be paramount so that nodes with new software can work with nodes with older software.

Anyway, all common sense stuff really. But it requires good partnership between steem developers and witnesses.

Every single small vote counts. Because many small votes can be big :)

Excellent. You will have my vote once you are done replaying. I just reviewed the witness page and voted for all witnesses who have been providing constructive criticism on the HF20 rollout and how some of the changes are not beneficial to those who are actually engaging and providing content. SteemSTEM is a bright spot on Steem--the antithesis of those who see Steem as a place only for their own gain.

Just to clarify, the witness is already ready for more than 5 hours. The node is still replaying 9nodes take more time).

Thanks for your support and nice message!

You have a Xeon processor, too ?
Can you time the replay?
It takes me 20 - 24 hours.
Witnesses on i7 take 3-5 hours

The witness replay takes about 3-4 hours. the node of course, more on the 20-24 hours side as this is way more slowly.

The brodcast node takes much longer (over 24 hours, so similar to your noted experience), but we are running a few extra APIs on that as well.

Finally! I've been wondering for so long why is it steemstem would not want to run for witness. Anyway, best of luck and I've already set up steemstem as my proxy.

You're already at #86, so no need to type in the name; that's a phenomenal start for a new witness!

Hello!

I am a community manager at Snax. We are trying to make public blockchain based on EOS node. Snax chain will provide transactions over social networks, token supply based on user social influence.

Snax as well as Steemit rewards its users for the content created, but Snax works as overlay solution over existing social networks (e.g. Twitter)

We have no ICO. We already have a testnet, mainnet will be launched this month, and we currently looking for great candidates for Block Producers like yourself. You can find out more about us at our website snax.one

If our project is interesting for you, please let me know by emailing me at [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you, and keep rocking this world!
