Question? #135

Open brokenisuseless opened 3 years ago

brokenisuseless commented 3 years ago

will a Ryzen 7 5800x with 32gb of ram connect to the internet on a 1 gig fiber connection be enough for super node status?

It would be if you could get the access to the Ports and can pay the electric bill for running 24/7. Your setup is overkill if you cannot run 24/7. That is the single most important thing. Are you running a Node now?

its running but I have not been picked yet, and all my ports are open and pi node shows all green, the electric is nothing my pc runs 24/7 anyway, pi isnt even touching my cpu, I assume when it does it will be about like running a bitcoin node, which I also have running on native linux

I have been running a Node for months. There is very little CPU use, or Network or Disk use for that matter (according to Task Manager). As long as you have at least 8 GB RAM you should be o.k. (4 GB is for Windows 10,btw). I would follow the instructions and try running it. I was never "formally" picked by an email or KYC message but I am running two Nodes and both are in Sync with the blockchain. Once we get into Mainnet and SuperNode I would think this will change.

I saw posted somewhere my up time has to hit 90%, before I will be selected by there server, its been running about 2 days maybe 3, I also saw someone say they waited 2 weeks, to get picked by the server

everything on my end is working fine, everything is green

Just FYI - The Pi node hardware requirement will never get anywhere close to that of a BTC node. This is because BTC is Proof-of-Work based while Pi is SCP-based (SCP=Stellar Consensus Protocol). As far as being picked up to run the node, just give it a while with everything running as you have it.

Right now all Pi nodes are running against the testnet - this is to help the (small) Pi dev team work out any kinks -- The mainnet blockchain will only be launched at the end of this year or beginning of next year. So - at the moment, there is zero reward for running a Pi node.
