Our witness servers have been running very smoothly and solidly so far. 

We have not missed any blocks.

But the blockchain is growing and the 32 GB of our current server no longer sufficient.

We are already at 92% of 32GB of RAM usage.

That's why we are getting two new servers with 64GB RAM.

# Witness Servers

-----

We have already placed a new order with @privex for these 2 brand and spanking new server beasts. 

They will be delivered and configured this week.

## Our new servers

-----

We have chosen 2 servers, capable of getting the job done, with these specs:
<pre><code>   
- Intel Xeon E3 (v5 Skylake)
- 2x 480 gb SSDs 
- 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM
- 1gbit/s network
</code></pre>

## Thank you!

-----

We can currently pay for these servers from our witness earnings and blog posts. With your support, we are able to invest further in the Steem network and continue development.

We want to thank you all for your support for @blockbrothers to make this happen!
