i would decline… there are enough hetzner nodes… let it up to the community
Actually CPU-only nodes running in over-represented datacenters (such as Hetzner) are now being disabled and asked to make changes to continue operating, see here.
Could you please confirm here that you’d run a node with the required GPU? I’d consider that a necessary requirement to be preselected.
