For which networks Have you ever operated a node? |
|
What kind of improvements would you like to see in Elixxir nodes vs. previous the previous nodes you have supported? |
Cheaper nodes and higher profits |
What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an Elixxir node? |
From what you say the hardware cost is ultra inflationated. No one has a 800€ cpu laying around in the basement. And the network speed asked can only be found in California. Portugal 100/100 is the standard highest. Above that it’s rare |
What is a reasonable maximum connection speed on which you could operate a BetaNet node in your geographic region? (Where 0 = 10 Megabits/second, and 100 = 10 Gigabits/second) |
25 |
What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? (As a percentage) |
90 |
Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. . |
0,24€/kWh |
On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator? (Where 0 = 1 hour/month, and 100 = 20 hours/month) |
100 |
If you were selected to run a BetaNet node, would it run on your own hardware or be deployed to cloud-based servers? |
Hardware |
In what type of environment would this server be located? |
My own mining farm |
Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? |
No |
Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published Elixxir BetaNet node specifications? |
Yes (Please list specs) |
Yes (Please list specs) |
Not the cpu, but I have mining rigs that can donate some gpus |
Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below: |
I’m expecting support for amd gpus and not only nvidea |
Do you have past experience deploying servers to cloud-based services? |
No |
Yes (please specify) |
|
Why do you want to be a node? |
Nodes are the next step of mining in my opinion. I believe in the decentralisation of assets and want to be a part of it and have a positive role in the project. |
How did you originally hear about Elixxir? |
Word of Mouth |
Which current Elixxir communities are you a member of? |
Telegram, Discord, Facebook, Twitter |
Are you an active member of those communities? |
Yes |
What specifically, interests you about the Elixxir platform? |
David. |
Outside of Elixxir communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? |
No |
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? |
Local conference in Porto. Not a big deal |
As part of growing the Elixxir community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an Elixxir BetaNet node? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. |
Yes (how much content on a monthly basis?) |
If yes, how much content on a monthly basis? |
1-4 |
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? |
|
As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the Elixxir platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. |
|
Privacy by Default is a goal of the Elixxir Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? |
Public networks do more harm than good. It’s a violation of my privacy to let everyone aware of my bank account so the same goes for my virtual money |
