This also allows you to run hive witnesses on mini pcs that pull like 4watts which is pretty damn amazing.

Hive likely has one of the most efficient blockchains when it comes to block production coupled with running on these ultra low power computers.

Obviously we can't have everyone running 'light nodes' but you can technically run a full node on these machines too if you the space.

API nodes are the single biggest power user in the whole suite but even that is getting crazy efficient and performant with every update.

Hive, technology wise has never been in a better place, I hope we can someday move from performance and maintainability to more innovation and being a front running in new interesting tech.
