Hello friends, Finally today I moved my Blurt Witness Node into my home PC. I have been running the Blurt Witness Node for about 4 years when Blurt was launched and it was very new. When I first started the Blurt Witness Node on that time it just required 4GB RAM and 80GB storage, I used an HDD VPS server for 1 and a half years. (I don't remember the VPS provider's name.)
After that, I moved into Contabo SSD sever when Blurt Chain had bigger and the minimum server requirement increased to 8GB RAM and 100+GB storage, and still it same minimum requirement.
Why I moved my Blurt Witness Node into my home PC and what are the benefits for me?
My village is in a big Coal Field area, and anyone can't enter my village without crossing the railway lines, so it's also hard to pass broadband cables into my village. Recently about 1 month ago Jio launched the Air Fiber service in my country it doesn't require cables for the internet, so I have installed Jio Air Fiber in my home, and now I have unlimited internet, and my village is in the Coal Field area so we have free unlimited 24-hour electricity since 1989.
So, I planned to move my node to my home PC, I bought a Refurbished mini PC in just about 150$, and the PC configuration is Dell Optiplex 7040 Mini PC (Intel Core i5 6th gen, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB SSD, Windows 11, WiFi, MS Office|Intel HD Graphics|USB, Ethernet,DP), Black.
Now I don't have to rent about 7 to 10$ per month for the VPS, and I have another new PC, and I can also do other work on the new PC.
Today I installed the Blurt Node in the new PC. Here you can see in the docker CPU and memory usage for the blurt node.
