Good to represent underrepresented geographical bin. The application is complete and should clearly understand that going forward now the there are two separate system requirements for node and gateway.

Is this correct? I don’t think this would meet the minimum recommended spec. Apart from that it is good. Just need a bit more info about the GPU. Thanks

Thanks for reviewing my application. I will be buying 3060ti for the node and will ensure that the node meets the minimum requirement.

I will be buying and running the node/gateway with RTX 3060ti or 3070, thank you.

You have my support then.
(Note that, in case you are selected, the GPU upgrade should really happen before you go online, otherwise your node will probably fail all rounds and will be taken offline.)
