    Hi there. This is my application and I just want to make some corrections about hardware I plan to build the node from this specification:
    AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
    Motherboard with chipset b550
    Gpu gigabyte rtx 2070 super
    RAM 32gb HyperX
    SSD Samsung 970 PRO SSD 1TB – M.2 NVMe
    Hope it will be enough.
    Feel free to ask any questions!

    Hello,

    Where is located this server ? (at your home ?)
    Can you give us the bandwidth if you not put your server in a datacenter please ?

    Thank you :slight_smile:

    Hi! Thank you for your response.
    Of course, I plan to place the node in the local data center TheHost (https://thehost.ua/), bandwidth there can be from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. I am sure that in the data center it will work much more stable and reliable and it does not cost a lot of money.

    Can you put a custom computer AMD 2700x with dedicated graphic (nvidia 2070) card in this data center ? (Often refuse custom computer)

    Thank you for your reply

    Sure! Of course, we can place our assembled custom computers there, with required computer specifications since there is a colocation option there. And I have known this provider for a long time, they are proven guys. This is top service in Ukraine.
