I wanted to place my node Hetzner. But if there is a problem with this, I am ready to host my node at home. My location Ukraine, Dnipro. My ISP kyivstar 300 Mbps.
My hardware:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
32GB DDR4
Samsung SSD 970 Pro NVMe
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
I have already ordered this hardware specifically for BetaNet and really hope that I will take part in this cool network.
