Looks like you are really putting some thought into this. I've brought your project to the attention of a few others.

What OSs will you support with your binaries? I'm a Linux man.

Have you heard of the AppImage project? Many software projects are now offering these stand alone packages for Linux now.

How does this differ from just using docker, which I'm fairly familiar with? You can do that with docker right?

I've been using https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker and love it. You can run one or multiple processes, and scheduled stuff. It's a PC in a docker container, and very widely supported by VPS providers, for really simple deployment.

I'm running the same docker container on my laptop, and when I make change, just replace the docker image on the remote machine, it saves state, it's great!

Am I missing some point?

Excellent! =)

Even popular software such as Gimp is offering .appimage packages along with all of their other standard ones these day. Even Linus Torvolds thinks its a good idea, and he's hard to please.

There's quite a few bits of software that I run this way now, especially if I want to give new development versions a spin, since they may not have landed in the repositories yet. I'm an openSuse user.

I'm looking forward to getting involved when you have something up and running.

BTW, will you establish your own coin for this, or will you use Steem/SBD ?

What does the blockchain JSON compress to? I'd like to do some analysis, including what takes up space, so we can model how much proposed changes would affect blockchain size/performance.

Ok. My home PC doesn't have enough RAM really, so I may just have a go at running a witness node on your network on an VPN hourly basis for a little while, once you've simplified it a bit, and get it that way.
