up a validator note in GCP, my question is what determines the VPS requirement vCPU/Memory/HDSpace to be sufficient, as far as I understand on blockchain, data will keep building up until space is full, but how long could it take to be full?
Currently you can't setup a validator node for $dag. Constellation Network does not hold any data except the ledger. Which is held on some of the nodes. If the ledger ever got too large (which would take quiet a while) then the nodes that hold the ledger would need to increase their storage space. This is my understanding on this.
Dag also has some unique architecture to prevent ledger bloat, let me pull up Seth's article where he talks about it.
Thanks a lot for the information

Oh nice. I did not know this. But it completely makes sense.
"The multi-tiered hierarchy of validator nodes enables scale-free storage of the data dependency graph by allowing them to store subsets of history which can then be resolved by executing a map reduce function, eliminating the need for all nodes to know about all data. This is referred to as “Ledger Cellularization” and solves the problems of “blockchain ledger bloat” because it allows for the compacting of all transaction history contained within the Hylochain of hashes to be stored into self-similar fractal space which makes it extremely efficient to store and recursively reference. This approach is notably different than the single-tiered, linear, and unproven sharding solutions proposed by other networks to address ledger bloat."
Thanks for the reply! Some clarification: Is it that I can't setup a validator node now? or validator node cannot gain $DAG ? I know my node need to be in the seedlist to join the network, and docs said validator nodes are incentivized by $DAG, or am I missing something here?
To my knowledge their is no info of how to build a node for Mainnet 2.0. Their is old documentation for Mainnet 1.0 floating around. But that will not work for you. Mainnet 2.0 is much different. The closest we have at this time to build a Mainnet 2.0 validator is on testnet. But they aren't reaching out to any new testnet node operators at this time and testnet is going through puberty right now. 😉
ahhh, now I understand, seems like I will have to wait till Mainnet 2.0 to go online, thanks for clarification
You're welcome. Welcome to our ecosystem. You are here at a very good time. 🤘
There's a new section in the developer docs 🙈 Not sure if they differentiate between testnet and mainnet 2.
Instructions for setting up a node seem to be the same for testnet and mainnet with the difference just being which network you join at the end of the process.
If you have enough Dag for a node, there is soft node staking on Lattice though.
That network being determined by the "node id" and IP address entered during the "curl POST" command.
