      Regarding the question: Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)?, I noticed i’ve jumped the question a bit.

      I have the funds ready to purchase all the hardware, the minimum requirements, except maybe I’ll get an 3080TI.
      I’ll also be running a separate node & gateway, in the same location.
      :slightly_smiling_face:

      I know this candidate personally and I’ll help him with the Node setup if selected

      Good application, looks promising, has my vote.

      You have my support. Good luck!

      3080ti is an absolute future-proof if you can get it. Good application, you have my support.

      Good application has my vote.

      Solid, you have my vote.

      you are willing. It’s nice to have you with us. I support :+1:
