Hi there, right now i have AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, 1 GB SSD… if it’s necessary i will upgrade or build a new server

You’ll want to add one of the cards that are supported and recommended for compatibility and capability, but not necessarily by price. You will have to decide what you are willing to spend.

RTX 2070, RTX 2080, RTX 2080ti, RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2080 Super, RTX 3060ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090

I personally recommend either the RTX 2070 or the RTX 3060ti. I’ve had no problems with either of those in the NodeLab. I do not recommend any Turing GPU with specs less then a 2070 and I do not recommend the RTX 3060 12GB.

Others are welcome to suggest cards they have had a good experience with.

That’s not a problem. Thank you for your recommendations…

Vote for this candidate!

Thank u

Will, if selected, the node be at your personal home or a datacenter? Because your answers (see the quotes) dont meet up with each other.

I have 3 ISPs: united.net.ua, kievline.net and strim.com.ua at home. And i am going to set up servers at home. There are no difference beetween colocation and my local datacenter because there are direct optical links with ISPs and i have diesel generator and ups at home. About my experience in the past i had server on united networks of ukraine and there no problems for me too, but right now i’m going to set up xx node at home…
