    No hardware in form.

    If you are hosting both the Node and Gateway at your location you really need 150 upload as per the recommended specs on pages 3 and 4 in the https://xx.network/beta-node-handbook-v1.5.pdf.

    Also, are you planning to purchase the recommended hardware (again found in the hand book on those pages)?

    Please clarify bandwidth and HW.

    Hi, everyone.
    Thank you for your feedback.

    HW - can be up in running in 4-5 business days as per requirements once application is approved. I can set up either option: node (station) and gateway (virtual host) or node+gateway (single station).

    BW - my broadband provider can currently provide bandwidth 1000/50 down/up.

    • Is this OK for BetaNet?
    • When Mainnet is supposed to commence?
    • Do I need 150 upload by Day 1st on Mainnet or 150 is projected max upload with graduate ramp up during 6m-1y?

    Based on your application and response, you have my vote!

    Hi, thank you for your review.
    I am wondering whether Is my application approved? What would be the my next steps?
