You have my vote.
Good application!
It would be nice to have you in team.
Like a part that you will be an active member of xx Network community.
My advice is 32GB of RAM for Mainnet.
SSD - 1 TB High Speed Enterprise NVMe (PCI) SSD - 500000/500000 IOPS
Hope that you will upgrade your harware - when you do just write it down in comments
You have my vote ! Good luck ! 
You have my vote as well, note that at this stage of the project and US regulation if I’m not mistaken you can’t receive rewards as a USA resident. Check the info in http://xx.network/ and also you’ll find the contacts telegram/discord etc to check with the team about the US related legal constraints
