This doesn't sound right. :D

This is a great update, though. Thanks for all the work on Hivemind, that sound like some major size decrease!

This is fantastic work! I wondered whether you’d really be able to get RAM requirements down below 64Gb, but you’ve done it. 
Next question: who wants to help me set up a full node. I have the hardware to meet the 2x64Gb + 1 x 32Gb requirements and have very fast internet 300/150 Mb/s.

@mstafford, you and your Python skills will be taking over the world..

Hurrah! That's great news. I thought there was the odd error here and there and figured something was going on under the hood. 

It's actually good knowing that something *is* going on under the hood ;O)

For the past 10 minutes I have been getting a lot of 501 errors for steemit pages, no problems surfing elsewhere on the net, just steemit. 12:45 pm-12:55 pm Alaska standard time.

While this is great news and essential, when is Steemit Inc going to communicate with the community about the massive powering down from Steemit owned accounts as well as the personal account of @ned ?

This blog post makes me feel a little better that STINC isn't making a bank run and abandoning the community, but still, without an answer, I can't help but feel the movement of seriously large amounts of STEEM including powering down $8.5m USD worth on the @steemit account.

What is going on?

Holy cow, that is quite the reduction!  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Great Scott! Been waiting to use that one for a while! Lol 😂 really hope this does bring some improvements coz hot damn the moral in this place is lower than the current price

I Love it even though I could not understand what it all means I can still the bright spirit emanating from this news @steemitblog
God bless your works.

So what features of this will eventually be implemented into Steemit.com? 

I'm not a developer, but checking the Github links you've provided, I am seeing some very exciting stuff:

> Hive tracks posts, relationships, social actions, custom operations, and derived states.

* discussions: by blog, trending, hot, created, etc
* communities: mod roles/actions, members, feeds (in 1.5; spec)
* accounts: normalized profile data, reputation
* feeds: un/follows and un/reblogs

> Hive can be extended or leveraged to create:

* reactions, bookmarks
* comment on reblogs
* indexing custom profile data
* reorganize old posts (categorize, filter, hide/show)
* voting/polls (democratic or burn/send to vote)
* modlists: (e.g. spammy, abuse, badtaste)
* crowdsourced metadata
* mentions indexing
* full-text search
* follow lists
* bot tracking
* mini-games
* community bots

Yeah, that explains a lot. Thanks for the update!

Also, I know a lot of people are concerned about the silence around the power down from Steemit Inc, yourself, and Dan.  Would you be willing to comment on it?  Because honestly, any communication is better than none. Hell, it'd help with all the FUD getting thrown around last night...

Thanks for an amazing progress. I hope this will get us further in the long run and will help to compete with EOS in terms of feasibility of running your full node.

Woohoo!  Congrats.  Sounds like we just got upgraded

When MIRA?
