Any witnesses out there have a good guide on setting up a $HIVE witness node at home and what is needed for maintaining?
Looking at you @bradleyarrow and any other witnesses. Thinking about buying a machine to self-host a witness here at the house along with my mining farm.
Guides are few, get ahold of Nifty, he helped me. Contact me on discord, I might be able to connect you two ;) !BBH
Ah, gotcha. Yeah I can ask him at some point. I will also reach out to some others.
Ah, I actually found a couple of guides, one from Rishi. So I'll be looking over them to see if I want to spend the money on a machine to run. I really wish my internet provider offered IPv6 addresses, if so, I would be self-hosting my Hive-Engine witness.
What is witness node?
Pardon my ignorance

it signs blocks for the HIVE blockchain.
A witness node on Hive are block producers, similar to miners on a proof of work network or validator nodes on other proof of stake networks.
The more witnesses the better 🦾
