Setting up an Agoric Testnet validator node has been a pleasure to operate right out of the gate. With clear cut setup instructions from the Agoric team, Oracle Miner was able to get their node up within an hour. Node stability is the name of the game and the Agoric program stack so far has proven to be extremely stable.
The validator node is currently being ran on a ESXi Ubuntu 20.04 server VM with 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM and SSD disks. This server has abundant resources available to scale up as we endure the next phases of the Agoric Testnet. Looking forward to completing future challenges and assisting the team with any bugs or issues encountered.
