Good answers! My vote!
Great experience, I think he has a good experience
My specs:
AX61 (Hetzner), AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core, 128Gb DDR4 ECC, 2x1.92 TB NVMe SSD
does not meet the minimum HW specs… voting no
Without the GPU that is required in the minimum spec I will have to vote ‘No’ as well.
voting no, missing GPU
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 please reconsider and confirm that you will run a node with the required GPU?
If you don’t reply or are unable to run a GPU then I would vote “No”.
yes, i confirm it
Thanks to the team for all the comments.
I decided to organize a home server with suitable requirements.
Name of my ISP: Beeline
Nice!
Voted yes
