My node is currently active and running! I'm currently running the witness on 12 cores @ 3.2ghz with 12GB of RAM and 5TB of raided space. I have plans to further setup a few backup nodes in other geographical locations for more redundancy. Now that I have the code all compiled and all my wallets squared away this shouldn't be to hard to finish setting up.
I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2011. I was a Miner, starting off with many 6950 GPUs and an early investor when buying Bitcoin at $2-$7 range, which was not easy to do at the time. I had mainly used Bitinstant and money wires to accomplish the task at the time. I eventually transitioned to Asics, I was victimized by BFL, as many were. I also went into KNC miners. After that I transitioned to buying rather then mining my crypto.
I was an early investor in Protoshares and Angelshares, and now I'm getting involved with Peerplays. I'm very excited at what Peerplays has to offer! I would love to program some games using Unity, but unfortunately I live in the US, so doing so may be illegal. Still I'm exploring ways to see if it will be doable.
I look forward to serving the Peerplays community, and don't mind constructive feedback to that end.
