Announcing the Launch of a new STEEM Full RPC Node
https://rpc.steemliberator.com
A few days ago, services using the main SteemIt RPC node to communicate with the blockchain experienced technical difficulties when the server went down. This caused widespread outages, delayed information, or altogether disruption of service.
Isn't the STEEM blockchain decentralized?
Yes, the STEEM blockchain is, in fact, decentralized in nature. However, in order for the blockchain to remain available, many servers need to run around the globe that verify blocks or present an API endpoint that services can use. The amount of resources required by these servers grows by the day. As the STEEM network grows and more and more users begin to use the service, it will cost system administrators more money to keep things going.
What can be done?
Companies, or individuals, with the means can help the entire STEEM network by providing more full RPC nodes and seed nodes. For the average user, they do not have to worry about the technical details involved with the server management and ensuring full time access to services. However, it is important to remember that people are spending money out of pocket to make the STEEM network that you and I love so much. If you want, you can donate or simply upvote and resteem this post. If you choose to donate by sending STEEM, make sure to include a comment in the memo that it is to support the RPC node. At the end of the month, and in the case of any donations, a portion will go into server costs and a portion will go to a STEEM based charity.
Who is behind this?
The server is managed and operated by @netuoso with backing support from @reggaemuffin and all of @buildteam. @minnowbooster, @steemsports, @steemvoter (and more) are all going to utilize this RPC node for their own services offered on the STEEM blockchain.

Awesome. Thanks!
My pleasure
Epic thank you!!! Much appreciated!
That graphic will make me smile all day lol
This is an outstanding effort. Thank you for upgrading the server / adding this full rpc node. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. I've made a small donation to show my support.
Thanks, @netuoso, for your investment of knowledge, time, patience, and cash in Steemit. I've responded with "max support" to this post of yours (votes, re-steem, witnesses supported), and I wish you ongoing success in your efforts to make Steemit a better place to hang out.
I'm also looking forward to learning from you by observing what you're doing here and reading your instructive posts. Steem on!
😄😇😄
P.S. I hope over time to learn to access and use the RPC node...
You are a quality follower. Thanks @creatr
Is the lack of nodes because it is hard to set up or because of cost? I'd like to support steemit community [and myself] by running a node/ witness but lack technical know-how.
But good luck and thanks for y'alls support of steemit!
It requires:
@netuoso I am glad I was able to at least help out with the money on this :) great Job!
And 3 outta 4 don't work lol
Oh well ill keep trying though to get the knowledge :)
Excellent. While we have every intention of fully supporting 3rd party development as much as we can, STEEM needs more full nodes available in order to be even more decentralized from our infrastructure. Thank you for doing this!
Wow that is quite a nice comment coming from SteemIt. Maybe y'all can let me know when a position opens up?
Or even just a little witness support from those large SteemIt accounts would help pay for the server a few times over. Maybe even encourage me to make a second one and set up proper load balancing! ;)
I think you have some support for those sentiments.
I was there following the frantic chats to get that RPC problem sorted at least in the short term.
Well done, man!
For your good service to this community, witness votes have been cast for you all @netuoso, @reggaemuffin, @thecryptodrive, @theprophet0 and @blueorgy. Do have a wonderful day.

Good..
I need votes Exchange.
May you vote for me, I voted for yours? :)
Have you tried reaching out to the Witnesses who are inactive? What impact does their inactivity have? Could they help the situation? I have already voted before for everyone on your list, except for one. I'll check in the morning, If I can reach my PC. Suffering from a herniated disk . Thanks for keeping us informed.
Thank you @netuoso, you are doing a splendid job for the community!

That's cool. so less issues
Upvoted, resteemed and voted you guys as witnesses.
What else? Oh steem, don't have much yet.;)
You have done your part. Thank you a ton it all counts
Nice job @netuoso! Thanks you for being the valuable part of Steemit :D
Great project and i'm glad thing are up and running again, hope witnesses can keep up with the show , thank you for the share
Informative post. Content is strong with your words. Loved it
I am really interested in hosting an RPC or seed node.
Would it be possible to run me through the steps and whether it is possible for me to host one.
Thanks :)
On mobile right now but I'll link some guides when I am at my computer again. Keep in mind, a full RPC node uses about 70GB ram currently. Will need 120+ to be good for a few months
That is a really huge RAM consumption. Do send me the links so that I can see how much I have to invest and do some maths with it.
Thanks :)
That completely makes running Steem nodes centralized hmmm
Will it be even possible to run a node after another year for 99,9% of the people?
Could something be done tto fix the issue? Bitcoin has been running for about 8 years and I haven't heard of such issues. Ethereum also is a bit older.
Hy. Voted, resteemed and when reach to a computer will vote for the witness also. On phone is hard to write them.
Why has so low comments posts like this?
It also can be because doesn't reach to people. But should be resteemed by the big whales also.
Can i make a post where to quote your post?
Please do

nice post. upvoted...can you help on how i can mine steem on windows? is it possible nowadays?
My dear steemit friends please i need your votes on my current post
Yes, I agree provide more full RPC nodes and seed nodes.
Woof bacon woof.
I have resteemed and upvoted this post, i will be glad to see this wallet issues is resolved ASAP, i think this wallet issue is the reason why steem token is down in price .
Thanks for all that you do. Upvoted and RESTEEMED. About to vote for the witnesses you listed ;]
