Asked by OxRun
Just curious how many of y’all are running crypto masternodes on DigitalOcean Droplets.
If so, what OS and hardware specs are you running, and for which coin/token/project?
I’m specifically interested in what Droplet specs are needed are for some of the most popular masternodes, including: Dash, Pivx. Energi, Stakenet, Wagerr, Zcoin, SmartCash, Lux, etc.
Cheers!

I’ve run masternodes on both DigitalOcean & AWS. ElastiCache was a PITA on AWS, DO worked straight out of the box, no caching or IP issues with the MN.
I run a LUX MN; use Ubuntu v16.04, not v18.04. The standard shared DO CPU droplet with 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB SSD is all you need, however I run on the 2GB/1vCPU/50GB tier as its a bit faster for setup & management. These MN don’t require much beyond basic specs for install, then just 24/7/365 100% uptime is key.

Let’s hope this long bear market turns around & we can enjoy the residual returns as we support our favorite crypto projects!
