    Application is OK.
    Please specify SSD.
    I would be good to have 32GB RAM for MainNet.(16GB is for BetaNet).
    If harware is ok you have my VOTE.

    Hello everyone! I am ready to become a part of the xx collective and support ideas that can do the world better)

    Hi, mehatronicar!
    Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it!
    in my form, I really didnt indicate the hard drive, as I was choosing between models to use PCIe Gen4.
    here is the boxes from it
    its corsair mp600 1tb nvme

    I also bought a new memory DDR4 2x32gb hyperx 3600 to update my home server, its on a photo too)

    I am completely ready for launch, but it looks like my profile was not approved for this month ((

    moreover, I am so ready that I have a second 2070, the same one, to enhance the work in heavy loads :smiley:

    Tnx on response for hardware.
    Next time try to response little faster.
    That SSD is good and hardware configuration is OK.
    I think(not sure) that it will be new round for apply for a node.You can apply next time too(there will be option that you have already apply for node before).
    Here on BetaNet forum we give only our support and sugesstions( initial and final decision is not made by us).
