Purchase Additional Memory Slot

This is an optional operation.

By default, each Synchronizer can upload 2 BTC blocks to exSat and store them in the RAM space. By continuously deleting old block data, the storage space for 2 blocks is sufficient for normal operations.

However, having more storage space and being able to upload more than 2 BTC blocks simultaneously can help the Synchronizer earn more rewards during the period to catch-up the block. Therefore, synchronizers may consider purchasing additional block storage space.

If you're running from source code, please execute "yarn start-commander" to run the client.

yarn start-commander

If you're running with Docker, please use the following commands to run it in interactive mode (assume the container name is commander)

docker rm commander
docker run -it --name commander -v $HOME/.exsat/:/app/.exsat -e CLIENT_TYPE=commander exsatnetwork/exsat-client:latest

Then perform the "Purchase Memory Slot" action by choose :

Synchronizer -> Purchase Memory Slot

When purchasing, you need to specify the number of slots to buy; one slot can store one BTC block. The fee will be deducted from the BTC balance of your synchronizer account.
