Please state what HW you will use if selected.

Something is not right here. Applicant states he is from Mali, but runs the node in China? I understand the possibility to run the node in a data centre everywhere in the world, but applicant indicates that he will run the node in a university, suggesting in-country locality.

In addition, what makes me suspicious is that some of the statements in this application resemble the statements 1:1 from another application I just reviewed.

https://staging-forum.xx.network/t/orange-v-node-application-12210505908/3992

I’m not supporting this application until applicant clarifies his/her relation to the above application.

Sharp observation by Marc and agree with him: Applicant(s?) must provide full clarity…
No support until then.

My Application ID 12207016547 and since I’m in china i want to mention that i will runs node in china instead of Mali @Marc you are right, me and another application that you reviewed he is my friend and we speak same languages as well is there any other questions?
We hope to get more support and thanks to xx.Network support staff

I still don’t understand the Mali - China mixup, but ok we all make typos :laughing:.

Being transparent is the only way you can join the project. Don’t get me wrong: I would like to see you join but you must meet the requirements. My questions:

  1. You have a blocking issue with the upload speed. You need at least 100 mbit/s. Can you upgrade?

  2. Please specify the HW you are expecting to use.

  3. Are we talking about dedicated private owned HW, Colocation or Hosting?

If you are selected and you want to run your node in china on campus , I think the ports will be blocked for forwarding.
