RE: gtg.steem.house runs a full node with a public steem API

What sort of resource usage are you seeing on your own node?

What sort of hardware requiremnts do you recommend for a full node?

I ask because I want to learn more about blockchains and cryptocurrencies but am still at the very early stages and trying to wrap my head around it all

    I just made it public so I can't tell much about traffic/requests/load, time would tell.
    Currently block_log with index takes ~7GB of storage space, shared_memory.bin that takes ~26GB. To avoid performance issues it is advised to keep that file on fast storage (i.e. SSD or any other low-latency storage).
    Memory usage (RSS) is around 19GB-25GB.

    BTW, interesting to read: The Real Blockchain Scalability Challenge
