I trust those who bought XX coins
We need some info on your ability to meet the required HW / bandwidth…it would not make sense to accept underspecd nodes when the demand on CPU/GPU/connection is increased in the upcoming upgrades of the network.
Fill out rest of form along with HW specs. Also, can you upgrade bandwidth?
