Since our last update a few things have occurred that will be detailed below.

For those not in the knew. A release date has been made for March 20th and further details can be read in the SPKNetWork post itself. We fully support that date and look forward to moving beyond the testing phase for running a claim node.

During this time there have been several updates. We have done our best to be around to update our box and keep a watchful eye on things shortly after to report any issues. We updated to v1.0.0b19 several days ago.

Our box had encountered a couple of issues that resulted in a full reboot when it stopped working properly due to high usage. This has been a very rare occurrence. The good news is they are looking to make some changes that will lower back down the requirements for running a node. Depending on those changes we may remove the swap ram that was added if it is no longer needed.

We have recently re-upped for another month the box we are renting to run our node on. While we were considering upgrading to a more powerful box that does not look like it will be required for release. If they announce a higher recommended spec than what we are running we will make the required upgrades as needed.
