Just my opinion on the BARE minimum for REAL levels of adoption of the safe network, let's discuss

And there are a number of topics for farming hardware

Best Safe Node hardware

Hi all, I’m in Hanoi now. I just wanted to give an update on the hardware-- I should have taken a more MAID like approach to giving a date for a spec. While it’s not the most complicated build, I’ve thus far run out of time. It was my objective to give you a gorgeous, even pornographic photo of a lil box with a big hard disk and a tiny computer and so far I’ve come short. I’ll keep at it though. The seed of this concept has me thinking about open hardware more generally again, and how to app…

Some other topics to look though

Best Safe Node hardware

What characteristics will be important to build the best farming rig? The most important factor is obviously a large amount of storage. Can a vault span multiple drives, or will we need to run a RAID type setup? How will drive failures affect the network. At what point does the cost of redundancy outweigh the hit from dropping data off the network? If you have 3 disks, I expect you don’t want to cut your space by a third to gain single drive failure recovery. What about if you have 100 dri…

Custom/Turnkey SAFEnetwork farming hardware

I am currently pulling together a POC of an alternative to the “21” computer with SAFE farmer and an API for clients. I believe this will demonstrate a very compelling alternative with much lower power requirements whilst being able to offer very similar API’s (launcher is almost there by default) to the 21 computer. There is a model there and it could be satisfied very quickly. Looking at beaglebone black and potentially a partnership with a supplier, like adafruit etc. It’s all very much a sid…
