Pretest Task

Preparation

You'll need a minimum 6 core + 16gb ram (i have test with their minimum 4 core but getting killed after a few hours running!)

i use Contabo Cloud VPS M with NVME Disk. Don't use hetzner as they may ban you.

also you can't use free ETH RPC for this. you need to buy any subscription plan. but i'm recomend you to use reliable service like alchemy, infura or any other. i personally use BlockPi (49$) and NodeReal (39$) because they has more cheaper price and reliable services. for nodereal you can use my links https://nodereal.io/invite/39aa0451-acb0-440c-8bcd-ab566857a3da and get some bonus referral registration too.
