RE: Building steemd on Debian 9

in #steemdev9 years ago

I'm new to this community so I must ask: can anyone just install a witness server? is it profitable enough to pay a VPS? I live for Linux Administration :) following and upvoting ... Thanks in advance

Sort:  

I'm new as well but yeah, anyone can run a witness node. You need confidence from the community in order to receive blocks and get paid (https://steemit.com/~witnesses) and you need beefy hardware to run it. So I imagine you need to be pretty high up the witness list for it to be worth it. I'm planning to find out :)
