Maybe you can recommend hosting servers (VPS in particular) that are both affordable and reliable. 🤔🧘‍♂️ I might use one of your recommended ones for my testing !INDEED! 🤓😏

Affordable is of course a very broad term ;-)
But I'm mostly using:

and
https://www.scaleway.com/en/
Pretty pleased by both of them actually.

I !HOPEd to see hosting providers that accept Hive or other cryptocurrencies as payment, or at least those that I haven't explored yet. 🤔🤯 Thanks for listing (some of) the providers that you use though! 🤗😅

The only one that does accept crypto./Hive that I know of is Privex, and I'm not hearing good things about them lately (not using them myself).
I also use two local hosting providers, but they are quite expensive (easily 3-4x the other prices, so I don't see the need to recommend them :-)

I think that the VPS and dedicated hosting plans on #Privex currently look expensive !INDEED. 🤔🤯

Anyway, I mentioned #Privex to @tydynrain on a comment half an hour ago, where I said that many people on Hive hosting their Hive Witness nodes there or on mainstream hosting providers is generally discouraged. 🤯🤓😅

That is indeed an issue... way too many people are using Privex, which means that when Privex is under attack, half of Hive is down. Which is why I spread my servers around, geographically where possible, and over different providers, to keep things as decentralized as possible. I also don't use VPS, but bare metal, with full access to everything, except physically touching the hardware (although that is almost virtually possible...).

Maybe you would like to rent out your bare metal servers to people by splitting them into multiple VPS. 🤔🤯 That way, you could recoup some (or even all) of the costs of renting those servers, while being able to help other people rent servers (especially those here on Hive) with lower costs (and some of your assistance). 🤗🧘‍♂️😎

Anyway, you might have forgotten that the BEER token tipping bot doesn't want to see more than one bot command on the same comment with the BEER token tipping command, and that the LUV token tipping bot has been disabled by its owner/operator for almost 2 months. 🤔🤯🤓

The BEER bot sometimes appears drunk with too much BEER though, which causes it to fulfill BEER token tipping commands on some comments despite such comments having a myriad of bot commands. 🤔🍺🍻🤯😆😅

I think it is using a (hardcoded?) list of bot commands to search for, which is not yet fully up to date with the current set of bots...

The official comment from the BEER bot operator literally says use the BEER command only alone and don't mix this with other "!" commands. 🤔🍺 That means it does not matter what the bot command is, but if a word starts with an exclamation mark, then it will be assumed to be a bot command by the BEER token tipping bot. 🍻🤯😅

That's what the doc says, but not necessarily what the code says :-D Don't know though, I haven't seen either :-D
I do know that I sometimes use !BEER, without really thinking about too much of the details, and often it just works :-D

Whenever @savvyplayer (or I used to before) wanted to tip the BEER token, they would first make sure that there are no other bot commands on any of their comments with the BEER token tipping command. 🤔🍺🤯😅

That's what I (and @savvyplayer) wanted to suggest to crrdlx, though I could only imagine how much more expenses he would need to prepare for if he decides to change his VPS. 🤔💸🤯🤓

The phrase "has not changed anyone" sounds deep indeed. 🤔🧘‍♂️🤯

It seems more efficient in terms of cost and monitoring to have many Hive bots hosted just on one server (borniet's server on this case). 🤓🤯 Since token tipping bots can stop working for a few minutes to several hours at a time with only very few tippers noticing (especially if the bots catch up to missed commands as soon as they resume working), it won't matter much if many bots are squeezed into a single server. 🤯😅

I think that you mean that you didn't think deep about what your "autocorrect" has "autocorrected", and that you don't necessarily mean that I wasn't thinking deep from my previous comment. 🤔🤯🤯😅

Hello, my friend, and I figured. Yes, I certainly know how that goes. @borniet could likely host your bots without a problem, as he does for the ALIVE and BBH tipping bots, as well as the tipping bots for the MMB Project. This conversation thread made us create three new Discord servers, one of which, HiveTippingBots, is for tipping-bot owners and operators, to help improve and speed up communication between them, and to help give support with broken bots. You're welcome and invited to join. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Let's !HOPE that @borniet won't be away from Hive for too long whenever at least one of the Hive token tipping bots of other people's #HiveEngine tokens encounters a problem! 🤗

Better yet is for you to learn enough programming to effectively maintain the Hive token tipping bots that you co-created with Bjorn before he gets another "extended vacation" !INDEED! 😎😅

No, I was referring to the fact that it would take more a fair amount of time to learn the relevant coding languages well enough to be able to assist, so I'd be a poor choice in the short term. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

There's the saying that "the first step is already halfway towards the goal", so I wonder if you are already "halfway" towards being a good programmer by starting to learn programming. 🧘‍♂️🤯🤗
