The speed for receiving blocks from the API is really slow, it took 62 times longer as on hive.
In the Hivefest presentation they said they run nodes on Raspberry Pi’s.
Wasn’t sure if he meant it is possible or that they do.
Also the fact their trending page is filled with posts that have 1-10 votes
I couldn't imagine they had a lot of activity.
There is an ARM version of blurtd being worked on, but it’s not in use yet. I believe most nodes are being run on VPS. They are using 4-core VPS with 16 MB RAM for the full nodes if I’m not mistaken.
