I met with crypto in 2017. This interested me and at the moment I devote all my time to this. I do not want to stop there. I think this project is very promising and is ready to do it in full force.

I now @Alive29 from working together on QuarkChain testnet/mainnet. Very skilled technician and powerful node operator which will be worthy for any projects he joins.

At the time of registration of the application, I did not have the right equipment, and could only rent it. However, recently I have acquired another server. Here is its configuration:
CPU - 2хE5-2658V2
Memory - 64GB Ram
Hard Disk - 1Tb SSD
GPU - 1080TI (If necessary, it can be changed to 2080)
