Geth's capabilities in a number of different ways using plugins, rather than
having to create additional, new forks of Geth.
## System Requirements
System requirements will vary depending on which network you are connecting to.
On the Ethereum mainnet, you should have at least 8 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, and 350 GB
of SSD disks.
PluGeth relies on Golang's Plugin implementation, which is only supported on
Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS. Windows support is unlikely to be added in the
foreseeable future.
## Design Goals
The upstream Geth client exists primarily to serve as a client for the Ethereum

## Extending The Plugin API
While we can imagine lots of ways plugins might like to extract or change
information in Geth, we're trying not to go too crazy with the plugin API based

people who are building something. If you're trying to do something that isn't
supported by the current plugin system, we're happy to help. Reach out to us on
[Discord](https://discord.gg/Epf7b7Gr and we'll figure out how to make it work.
