|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Decentralized networks don't have a singe person to make a decision. This is what I prefer. |

Just so you’re aware of the specs. They can be found on page 3-4 of Beta Node Handbook
If you’re not going to use a GPU it might get expensive. We expect between now and MainNet nodes without a GPU will require a CPU with at least 40+ threads. In the long run we calculate it will be less expensive to build a GPU node.
Thanks.
More details please.
Please provide specs of the GC instance you will employ.
T4 is interesting green solution
FYI: The option to “Enable Virtual Workstation (NVIDIA GRID)” has proven to be problematic and is not supported.
