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! 🤗😅

!HUG
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. 🤯🤓😅
!WEIRD
!HOPE
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. 🤔🤯🤓
!WEIRD

Well.. You can't even believe all the things that I have forgotten in the past 2 months ;-)
The !BEER command did work in a few cases yesterday though...

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. 🤔🍺🍻🤯😆😅

Yep, I figured. You sure set the Discord servers up quickly, you had it done even before I went to bed! I wrote a post about them today. We still have to add channels. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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. 🤔💸🤯🤓
!HOPE
Yep, I know, and up until now Bjorn has not changed anyone to host their bots. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!HOPE
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. 🤯😅
!HUG
changed=charged
Yep, many bots on one server makes it a lot easier. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Your "autocorrect" made me think unnecessarily deep regarding the Bjorn has not changed anyone
clause. 🤔🤯🤣😂

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! 😎😅

As a short-term strategy, that would not work so well, long term, maybe. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Well, I can always try to help @crrdlx, you never know what it might bring :-)
@tydynrain and I have set up some Discord servers, it might be easier to communicate this type of things. You can find more info in his latest post.

Hi, thanks for offering help. I've got a couple of options I'm working on currently. I think I can get one to work, it's just a matter of tweak and try. I appreciate the thought though. Maybe I'll keep this in mind in case things don't work out.
By all means do! It's just a helping hand we're offering, no strings attached (souls are not considered string anymore these days, right? Right??? ;-) )
BTW: in the course of this, we've set up a discord server for all bot owners (and some other servers as well), feel free to join it! You can find the details in @tydynrain 's post.

It's better if you put the link to @tydynrain's post here (which is Tydyn's latest post as of time of this comment) so that I and @crrdlx didn't need to browse Tydyn's posts first to see the details of your #Discord "servers" !INDEED. 🤯😅

savvyplayer, you mined 0.9 🟧 HBIT and the user you replied to (borniet) received 0.1 HBIT on your behalf as a tip. When you mine HBIT, you're also playing the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. 🏴☠️
Sorry, but you didn't find a bonus treasure token today. Try again tomorrow...they're out there! Your random number was 0.4909344309824595, also viewable in the Discord server, #hbit-wusang-log channel. | tools | wallet | discord | community | daily <>< Check for bonus treasure tokens by entering your username at a block explorer A, explorer B, or take a look at your wallet.There is a treasure chest of bitcoin sats hidden in Wusang: Isle of Blaq. Happy treasure hunting! 😃 Read about Hivebits (HBIT) or read the story of Wusang: Isle of Blaq.
Sounds great, and yes, that's what I was thinking, or at least a specific channel for them. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I think that an entire #Discord "server" for Hive token tipping bot owners and operators is better than just a single channel, because they might need to create dedicated channels for "general", "bug reports", "feature suggestions", "sponsors", and so on. 🧘♂️🤓
!HOPE !INDEED !PIZZA !HUG
Yep, and Bjorn already created it, HiveTippingBots. We don't have any custom channels in it yet, but we'll add those over the next day's and weeks. Those are all good choices for channels. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I assume that you have already invited @crrdlx for such #Discord "server". 🤔 I recommend that you also invite other Hive token tipping bot owners and operators (where nearly all of them are on my post about Hive tipping tokens) (preferably by leaving a comment under one of their posts and comments here on Hive first with your intention to invite them to such "server"). 🤓
!HOPE !INDEED !WINEX !ALIVE
Yep, I did, and he already joined. Yes, I was thinking of that idea today, it would just take a fair bit of work, which means time, so I'm not sure when I'd be able to do it yet. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
