The costs I am seeing here should be an order of magnitude less, at most. What I am seeing here is not making any sense.
Wallets, how do you select a lightwallet node on startup? Do you ping each node and select the fastest one? If yes, great. If not, why not? Also, when you detect that the active lightwallet node is not responding, do you switch to the next available one? cc: @zancas @hanh @Honza
We do not need to spend anything on High Availability architecture.
Instead, we need a few motivated, experienced and reliable community members to run servers that are ideally not overlapping in location or network. They should certainly be compensated, appropriately. This could be a great warmup for people expecting to become validators once we switch to PoS.
Because they are experienced and reliable, they will rarely go down. But in the event that they do, the wallets would have the proper logic in place to switch to the next available lightwallet with little to no interruption to the end-user.
Thoughts?
