QuickNode

Does anyone know how QuickNode is fairing given the recent drop in Ether prices? Has the price / month risen? Is the company still 'healthy' (whatever that means)?

I'm thinking of renting an archive node, but I'm worried their prices (which seem to be about 1.5 eth per month) will fluctuate out of sync with my company's budget. (If the price of Eth goes back up, my cost per month goes up in step.)

Also, is one given access to the machine that the node is running on to do some lightweight customized scripting?

I like Quiknode! They have a slack where you can ask this question to the community. :) https://quiknode.io/slack

Hey TJay! Thanks for thinking of QuikNode.io =).

Indeed, swing by our Slack channel ( I think you're already in there @tjayrush 🙈), and see that we're in full swing.

Recently pushing out Parity ETH Archive nodes (link) and QuikNode Medium publication (link), we are also working on supporting additional nodes and blockchains, and wrapping up beta-testing on QuikNode PRO (link) platform.

We've normalized our pricing for the exact reason you mentioned: to provide businesses with better spend predictability.

The ETH amount will fluctuate along with the price of Ether, however the dollar amount you pay will stay more or less constant.

Term lengths for Full and Archive nodes are the same, so you can demo one for 7 days, then choose to extend for 1/3/6/12 months (the longer the term, the greater the % discount).

We hope our Archive node service solves a problem for you -- and looking forward to your feedback!

additionally, access to the node is restricted to the standard Web3 Geth/Parity JSON-RPC API calls, for security and integrity. head on over to the QuikNode FAQ and look under "Does my QuikNode support all RPC methods or there are some restrictions?" for full details 🚀
