Installing a new witness node for @blockbrothers

I spent the better part of today writing a new module for SteemTurbine. This will aid in properly configuring a witness node for the Steem blockchain. I also used this to setup the new witness node for @blockbrothers. The current nodes are running out of RAM and therefore we've ordered new servers from @privex. The new servers have double the amount of memory, so we hope they will last for the next few months.

The specs of the new servers are:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1275 v6 @ 3.80GHz
64GB DDR4 ECC (2400MHz)
2x 480GB SSD

Currently, the new node is syncing to the network and I'll enable it as soon as I deem it running stable.

I believe this year will be interesting for witnesses. There are a lot of newcomers lately, the Steem blockchain is growing rapidly in size, and we have a few hardforks coming up!

If you support us, don't forget to vote for @blockbrothers as witness. We invest in improving the Steem ecosystem and help keep the network running smoothly.

Steem on!
