I am upgrading my witness hardware given the Hive price spike.
My backup witness deserves a nice new 1Tb NvME SSD for Black Friday to hold this precious blockchain (not my 5 cobbled together small old SSDs which fail occasionally)

That’s it… I need to bring my HIVE node back. Sick of relying on distance to be in sync with my @atexoras.witness Hive-Engine node. I think its legitimate to work on this weekend given the HIVE milestone.
Plus, I am not sure if there is any witnesses on New Zealand…
You are using the small foot print DB @blocktrades posted about many months ago or the old thing?
BTW: if you need to download the whole blockchain then axel is way faster (4x) than wget.
I downloaded the whole 470Gb in 5.5 hours on a home fiber connection.
Nice discovery... didn't know about it. Will add it to work place too.
This weekend... reading the MIRA stuff first.
Are you going to stick with Windows? I'm sure everything would be better on solid Ubuntu boxes.

I have one pure Ubuntu witness box (that's what's getting the SSD upgrade) and one Windows (WSL2 Ubuntu) witness box that serves some other purposes too.
GM!
That is great! So you run a local server for the witness, instead of remote one?
Yes. Both my witness servers are PCs I, own and built myself (repurposed PoW mining rigs).
I have them at home on a fast fibre connection with a UPS.
