RE: 1st update of 2021 on BlockTrades work on Hive software

Wow!

The machine I'm running my witness on is more powerful than that!
Its a i7 6800k 3.6GHz (6core/12thread) which is a similar speed CPU.
128Gb RAM
2 x 1TB NVME drives in RAID 0

Are you saying that such a machine could handle ALL of Hive's current transactions!!?

      Well done for making Hive API nodes so cheap to run!

      This is fantastic for decentralisation.

      The 2 x 1Tb super fast NVMe drives cost me $105 each (in Israel).

      RAIDed they deliver amazing performance.

      So for a couple of hundred bucks I've upgraded a 4 year old machine to be able to run ALL of Hive's traffic (if necessary).
      Anyone with a bit of tech background can do this.

      This means any one of the current 19 API nodes (with many more to come) could run all HIVE traffic in an emergency.
