Great candidate with a very strong background. Has my vote.
Unfinished app, should be disqualified.
If you can not even finish the simple application then how can you be trusted as a node for smooth main net launch?
Hey Junius, I see you’ve joined a few days ago and tried to gaslight almost all applications? what’s the reason for?
My application is finished, I din’t reply to last few optional questions as I don’t see the reason to say many words regarding the decentralized networks or privacy phylosopy discussions etc. I leave this to marketing, while my profile says about the real experience as validator.
So, @Junius, please, calm down, only constructive criticism.

Why do you have the same answer as all the other applications that I “gaslighted”?
You seem to be confused on gaslighting and what that means. This is a democratic process anyways.
Nobody is doing anything except stating an opinion on a group of applications that use the same answers and do not even finish the questions either.
Why do you all have the same answer for that question?
@Junius First figure out to the end why most of them have the same content in this section, and then write something! And then write slander! There were ready-made answers with checkboxes in the form and candidates chose ready-made answers from them! Therefore, many people have the same here!

@Wanderer
I believe this would be your node. Could you have a look? It’s not doing very well. If you need any help, just ask.
