My last proposal has run out on April 1st, so this proposal will be used for covering costs of running the engine snapshot servers for the next year. Additionally it will allow me to further upgrade storage and server specs, with the ever increasing demands of engine nodes.
A lot has changed since my last proposal. One of the biggest changes was probably the introduction of engine light nodes. They significantly cut the costs of running engine nodes, while still allowing to provide stability for the network.
To support the introduction of light nodes, some time last year I started running an additional server for creating light node snapshots twice a day.
So what this proposal is covering is:
- Server for creating Full Node snapshots
- Server for creating Light Node snapshots
- Storage for providing the snapshots
For my last proposal I was asking 10 BEE daily. Because of the additional server, increased storage, decreased value of BEE and crazy inflation, I am now asking for 50 BEE daily, of which the first half will be used for covering server costs and the remaining half will go into savings to cover additional upgrades / costs and fluctuations of BEE / HIVE over the next year. That's about ~7$ daily, compared to ~5$ daily of the last proposal.
