My error - i have read the question like “What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating a network node?” (without xx) and was answering about “some abstract network”. So yes - i’m not interested in joining networks who’s team lacks vision which is obviously not the case here.
Thanks for kind words!
Will answer any questions!
