My last proposal has run out almost a year ago on May 31st 2024, so over the past year I've been running the snapshot servers from savings. This proposal will be used for covering costs of running the engine snapshot servers over the next year and for covering the costs of upgrading storage, which I had to do recently.
Currently I am running two servers for creating daily snapshots of the hive-engine sidechain, one for full nodes and one for light nodes. The size of light node snapshots is pretty stable at around 6GB, as they only contain the history of hive-engine blocks and transactions for the past 30 days.
The size of full node snapshots on the other hand is increasing with an almost constant rate of 140MB per day and has reached a size of 218GB.
So what this proposal is covering:
- Server for creating Full Node snapshots
- Server for creating Light Node snapshots
- Storage for providing the snapshots
For my last proposal I was asking 50 BEE daily (~7$). Because of the increased storage and decreased value of BEE/HIVE, I am now asking for 85 BEE daily, of which the first half will be used for covering server costs and the remaining half will go into savings to cover additional upgrades / costs and fluctuations of BEE/HIVE over the next year. That's again ~7$ daily, so about the same as the last proposal.
