I totally agree. I am certainly not saying everybody should use Vultr just because I do. Digital Ocean is another possibility. People should speak up with other host suggestions.
You know how it is. You say Vultr a few times and anyone who just had the idea that he wants to run a delegate, will just go to Vultr.
Maybe we should make a list of possible providers 10-20 of them. (Of course in this case ppl just choose the first one one the list. )
The lsit could be kept up to date with additionla notes, like how many uses it for delegates, what special setup requirements they have, etc.
The best situation is for Lisk to be running on 101 different Raspberry Pi 2s owned by 101 individual people connected by their home ISP.
The problem is that many home ISPs have slow latency. This is different from bandwidth.
Agreed, but other then latency uptime is also more of an issue with with home connection/computer.
For example I have a very good internet connection and a spare Liva mini PC that is more than up to the task. However my router sometimes decides to disconnect from the internet for no reason, and stay that way until restarted.
Not ideal for delegate. (But I'm thinking about setting up as a second delegate just to test it how uptime affected long term. If there is no other issue I may just replace that stupid router. )
