I wonder if you have decided to run a #Bastyon node 6 weeks after you said that you haven't tried it yet. ๐ค๐

No, I haven't, since I really don't think that my laptop could handle running two nodes. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

Looks like running a Bastyon node (on your laptop) will have to wait (for 6 months or more)! ๐ค๐คฏ๐

Indeed it will. Two nodes of that sort on this network connection would also be challenging, even if I did have another computer. ๐ ๐ ๐ โจ ๐ค

That's why renting a Virtual Private Server (VPS) would be a middle ground between hosting a node on your own computer and not hosting at all. ๐ค While hosting a node on a VPS costs money and is normally less secure, it offers advantages such as running nodes there will no longer use up the CPU, RAM, storage, and network bandwidth of your laptop, as well as the electricity required to run such machines. ๐ค๐

Yes, I understand the usefulness of a VPS for sure, and if that is an affordable option, then it could be a good choice. We may use something like that when we set up the MMB witness node. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

Looks like the price of a VPS is !INDEED a major factor in deciding whether to use a VPS as a (good) middle ground while you don't (yet) have another desktop/laptop computer for hosting more "sovereignty-driven" nodes! ๐ค๐คฏ๐

Yeppers, indeedy, if I can't afford it, it's a mute point until I can. For some it'd be a good option, though if you don't own the hardware, things can go awry, like what happened to the Privex datacenters in Europe. ๐ ๐ ๐ โจ ๐ค

It's generally always true that when you use hardware owned by somebody else, your data there can either be lost or be leaked. ๐ค๐คฏ The same goes with hardware you own, though are operated by other people. ๐คฏ๐ค
Anyway, "autocorrect" made you type though it if you. ๐๐
