# Witness Server Upgraded to 64GB: Future Proof
***
With all the issues, that we have been having with steemit and the expansion of steem running a ***16GB*** Witness server seems far fetched now. 

Checking up in the witness channel on steemit.chat I have noticed this and many issues with the size of ram current witnesses have and many have over ***16 GBs*** of ram a couple months ago that was thought to be enough for another couple more months, now since steemit is ever growing at a much faster rate, 16 GB is no match for its growth, Sure a ***32 GB*** upgrade would be sufficient ... but for how long? 

# 64 GB server Maybe 100 GB?
***
I have decided to fool proof my witness node server , and decided 64 GB is a good amount to maybe run for another couple of months.

The reason being is steemit is not even at half a million users and even than, only half of those accounts are actual humans and active. 

By the end of this year this is how my server room will look like for steemit alone.

***So I have contacted @privex, @someguy123's crazy cool company among other services. To have my Node Server upgraded up the *** with gadgets!***

# Here is my new Witness Server stats:

***My Server has missed 0 blocks and will intend to keep it that way, by keeping an eye on it on a daily bases, I will also adopt a % to SBD.***

@zeartul -  Yaaayyy.   Way to go.  Is that why Steemit is faster now?   LOL.  I know your server or node alone will not improve everything but it is an important contributor to the overall growth of Steemit.   
I am happy to be able to provide my small support in your activities.  Will keep sending SBDs for your node setups and upgrades as and when I accumulate some from my posts.    Steem on !!
