143M   after almost 24 hours (more like 20 hours). Maybe i have too few friends? :-D 

 How big is your trust network? Mine is doing 1gb per day

 Hmmm my network size is 60,000 so that would explain it lol

Maybe it's roughly 150mb/day/10,000 peers 

 that's probably highly compressable. This should be reduced by half or more if stored in a compressed filesystem 

 I’ve got a VPS with a site on it that I haven’t looked at in a while. I think it’s minimal specs, but I’ll see what it is. 

 I can always redirect a subdomain to another server so if you or anyone else in the group wants to run it that’s an option. 

 hah. Only 8GB storage left, out of 25. So I’d be looking at something else. I’ll look at what my provider offers. I think the challenge is finding enough disk space and still being economical. 

 look at Lowendbox blog or lowendtalk forums. they have some very cheap options there (like 4 dollars a month or 30 dollars a year) 

 Stats for the price look pretty good there, on a couple providers. The challenge is the storage is pretty low. Not sure how we’d add storage as we filled it up. 

 check those offers here: https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
there's one vps with 2 vCPU, 80 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM for 38.88/year. 
 

 What relay are you using? I’ll see about setting on up on one of my Rpi’s here. 

 I’d assume so. I do have that relay running on a teeny VPS, but I don’t know what else needs to be done to make sure all Nostriches can use it. 

 I’ve never run a wot relay before and it sounds interesting. I currently have 2 relays running. Nostream and strfry,  Ive created filters to block unwanted things and have little issue with excess spam. But spammer get clever and I think I’d like to test out a WOT relay. 

So I’m considering just hosting one for the nodestrich community to see how it goes. 

An experiment if you will.  Let me know what you think. 

 I would love it if you would and I’m sure we could get some contributions to cover the expenses. 

 I’ll look into different options of WoT relays and choose one to get up and running. Once I feel ready I’ll let you know and we can figure out the the dns and domain name routining so that the site address is wotrelayname.nodestrich.com.
