Another quarter is behind and today I am going to introduce you my blog. Don’t expect a lot but some information may be useful.
Node Performance:
Here is rpc endpoint link to my archival node rpc endpoint [http://95.217.121.166/rpc](http://95.217.121.166/rpc.) . Nothing changed from last time so my main task still is to keep 100% uptime.
Operational Updates and Hardware Changes: None Software Updates: only if needed according to testnet requirements or upgrades Configuration Changes: None Monitoring and Alerting: Graphana (and you can enable notifications to get alerts)
Hardware Specs and Provider Details: Hetzner. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 2x SSD M.2 NVMe 1 TB, 4x RAM 16384 MB DDR4 ECC. Costs ~ 48 eur/month.
Lessons Learned Challenges: nothing much this time. I have enought experience if I face any issues but it was not needed this quarter. Successes: stable uptime. Insights: follow the rules and insturctions.
Community Contributions I submit reports every quarter and submit any information if it is requested by Casper Team.
Conclusion I still think Casper Testnet is the best opportunity for new and old node runners to participate in such kind of projects. Since the testnet is open to everyone, anyone interested can give it a try. I wish the best of luck to the Casper core and technical teams, as well as to all community members and participants.
