vote no… because of decentralization/distribution of the network…
“No” vote from me as well.
Note that 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 reconsider and confirm here that you’d run a node with the required GPU? If no, or if no answer is provided, I’d maintain my “no” vote.
No vote
