A few questions regarding rbuilder

[kexinoh]

I am a beginner looking to participate in the builder process, and I have a couple of questions:

Hardware Requirements: What kind of hardware specifications are required to run rbuilder on Mainnet currently?

Custom Logic: Is it possible to customize the fees paid to validators? Specifically, does rbuilder support custom strategy functions to determine these payments

You need to run it on a machine that can support full reth node and you have to have a bit of resources on top to run builder. The amount of resources on top varies depending on configuration and your load, basic builder can run on just a couple of threads while you can configure builder to use as many threads as you like.

You can implement BiddingService trait to determine how much to pay to the validator, default implementation would pay everything that was accumulated on coinbase to the validator.

Does it require reth archive node? is full node OK?

Full node is enough to run it but you need archive if you want to run it on historical blocks
