Hello, it’s my application.
I do not have physical equipment but have vast(was “wast” LOL) experience working with cloud/dedicated servers of any provider (Hetzner, GCP, DO, vultr, AWS and so on). Been running 100s of mining nodes and 10s of clusters for QuarkChain, about 700 nodes for NKN. And ofc Ethereum node for gas wars (if you know what i mean). I like scripting to increase uptime and efficiency. I’m a crypto 24/7 for 2 years and will be able to invest my time and funds to support running any number of nodes possible

I know @AGx10k from the Quarkchine test. On the test, he showed himself from the best side, helped the participants, and also made suggestions for the developers of the project. I think such a person is necessary in the project.

@AGx10k would bring real added value to the project with his knowledge and passion to the community. I had a pleasure to co-work with him on QuarkChain and Seele projects. The tech and programming skills, as well as the automation suggestions (if needed) would be really helpful for Elixxir project, without any doubt.

This guy is one of the most technically advanced ones I know. He really helped me overcome some technical difficulties in the shortest possible time. Very responsive to the community, almost everyone in the testnet and mainnet used his scripts. I hope for further cooperation with this man)
He is 100% suitable for this project.

You do have “wast” experience. And I’m all for you being a node! Go Elixxir 
PS @AGx10k Is wast a cool new way to write vast? Like HODL to Hold. You may have coined a new term.

I did the same on your advice, but only 64 cores. And thank you for your help in choosing servers.
