awesome thank you

It's relatively easy to set up your own node to run RPC calls against for your own game. Highly suggested if you're using the blockchain for apps you're running is to run your own private RPC node to read and write to the blockchain for you. :)

I agree, but to be honest have just been lazy about it.
I will move it up my list after your peer pressure :)

It's a good idea just from a security perspective. :)

If you're handling deposits or purchases trusting a 3rd party API is sketchy at best.

If you don't need anything from hivemind, then it doesn't take too much to set one up.

sounds good.
just need to find docs
do you have a link?

It's pretty much the same as starting a witness, just with more plugins and probably jussi in front of it. I'm a fan of hive-docker(https://github.com/someguy123/hive-docker) which has pretty good instructions on the readme on how to get set up. Just enable some more of the plugins in the config.ini. Jussi can be found at https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/jussi. I should bug @deathwing to write about his fullnode configuration as he's got a really stable setup.

thank you on it
