First, great job on the new Steem Monsters site. I'm definitely looking forward to the start of PvP. It's the reason I started supporting your witness a few days ago and I'm glad I did after reading this update.
Since I've been hearing a lot about the lack of public RPC nodes, I'm curious if you have a ballpark estimate on the cost of running one?
It has typically been as high as $600 - $1000 or more per month, but now with Appbase/rocksDB/etc I think it can be done for considerably cheaper, so that's what i'm looking into.
