Sure I raised similar questions earlier in the topic. Apparently the rewards will be skewed to try and compensate to some degree

Donāt know what any of that means but donāt forget to share please

Rewards may be few and far between.
Mega network.
But then those ninja partners may bring data, are they due in phase 1?

Oh wellā¦ I guess weāll see what happens when the network starts - Iām betting on a slightly biggish bang 
I could imagine the network growing to 25k nodes on day 1 
ā¦ Wellā¦ Or it crushes heavily because of too many nodes joining too fast 
ā¦ Or Iām completely off with my thoughts and weāll just settle around 7k nodes 
Edit/PS ā¦ Tomorrow Iāll need to move my influxdb and make some improvements to my monitoring scriptā¦ And then I guess Iād be ready to rumble

What Jim was saying is that they will know the wallet address of your nodes and only the tokens sent from those wallets will count towards any leader board etc.
There will be other tokens to use for uploading, and at some stage the exchange process will be tested so that those with (e)MAID will be able to those. (maybe on a scaled down amount rather than the 1:1 that will occur at launch)
These are beta tokens and will not carry over to launch. That will be later.
@JimCollinson We definitely absolutely need the option in the node-manager/GUI to have a singular wallet for all the rewards from our nodes. Otherwise itāll be a pain sending from a wallet for each node. Imagine those poor souls with 2000 or even 5000 nodes running.
Also it will be needed for launch anyhow as the public will be pissed if their 500,000 nanos are spread across their 20 to 50 nodes. and they want to use them now

Never know, maybe petabytes off data are coming our wayā¦ in due timeā¦ time to gear up

I can provide TBs of data. Like 100 of them

Nice!
Just found out 5Gbps symmetric is offered at my place (no data cap), so time for an upgrade this weekend 
.
Just placed the order to get it upgradedā¦ canāt believe I wasnt aware off the upgrade offeringsā earlier (all this time) haha, 
.
Side Note:
More router funā¦ as its going to be different modelā¦ I am in for some pain or surprises I betā¦
Also means, I gotta link aggregate even more NICs per server (LACP bonding) to increase back-end bandwidth to sustain up to 4700Mbps of potential read/write traffic (in addition to CEPHsā internal requirements), ooof!

Unfortunately for me its got to be at 40Mbps or less

I am seeing roughly 3Mbps to 6Mbps for all 6 nodesā traffic on average as part of punchnet testnet.
So I suspect between .5Mbps to 1Mbps per safenode (at least baseline) traffic in steady state. If i am not CPU bound first (likely will be the case), theoretical max maybe at 4500+ nodes for myself at one locationā¦ thatās a lot of nodes to manage .
I got to get past the NAT limitations if any on the ISPās new equipment first . Fun times ahead!
If I am really going for an overkill scenario, then end up getting dual ISPs (docsis 4.0 coaxial + fiber), then possibly combined bandwidth off 15Gbps/11Gbps capacity, lolā¦ maybe 2025++?

I wanted to join in on this Beta testing, but I canāt find any explanation on HOW to do that? I have never used Discord and donāt know how to join this channel, and get listed on the beta testing list. I may be dense, but it would be nice to have a more clear information.

Thats where you go with a good VPN supplier where you can have multiple devices with VPNs.
On the biggest machine you run nodes in one VM with the VPN and then run other nodes either natively or in another VM. IE split connections between your ISP and VPN tunnel
Then on the other devices choose native to ISP or through a VPN tunnel. Nord allows 6 simultaneous connections and Iāve pumped 400Mbps down when my ISP max is 450Mbps down only 40 up
Slightly off topic, but if the current 6 safenodes (punchtestnet), can occupy 30,000 state tables on my own router, I can only imagine what 1000s of nodes terminating at the end of the NordVPN endpoint may consume in terms of resources (on their end)ā¦ I also may loose out on total transparency here when it comes to troubleshootingā¦ so for now will avoid any VPN for normal internet traffic.
I also donāt want to incur further delays if ~5Gbps of traffic is being received/sent (sustained) either (latency wise), so its in my best interest to resolve all of these issues at home first .

I donāt understand anything. Where is the start page for registration in the awards? Where can I register, where can I find a link to this?Tell me, please.
Well the VPN should only take a couple of state table entries on your end. And is why I suggested using their 6 connections to limit the exit server having too many issues. But remember a exit server is meant to handle a lot of people, so as long as youāre not over doing it then their server will handle a lot more than your ISP will. I would not think that 50 nodes would be a bother to their exit server and that gives you 300 nodes at least (maybe 500-600) on their 6 connections. And even having a second account allows that again. At 4$/month its pretty cheap.
Another is to use cloud server and set up ?wireguard? and run your own VPN

Its closed now for the 1st āwaveā of 175 people and so you may have to wait till they announce a form for the 2nd āwaveā of another 850 people

It would be nice to have a more detailed explanation on how to join the āwaveā. Perhaps a step by step instruction next time?

The announcement was made on discord since it will be coordinated from there. The link to the form for registration was a simple set of questions to be answered.
There wasnāt much more than that. The confusion is caused by people who are not on discord or missed the announcement suddenly finding out about it in the last few days after a period of it not being mentioned

You may run into another issue is you try to run 1000ās of nodes on the one ISP connection (same subnet) and that is the current issue of nodes not talking to each other on the same subnet behind a router.
This would be another potential reason for using a VPN provider and splitting up the nodes between connections to reduce the number behind/in any one of the subnets
I did end up solving the issue of my own peers talking to other peers (my own) (hairpin NAT issue) after upgrading from FREEBSD 14 ā 15 using the equivalent of NAT Reflection / Pure NAT / etc, where all the peers had the same public WAN IP but different ports. I no longer get handshake timed out messages if NAT port forwarding rules are setup properly with external peers (not mine) and peers (that are mine).
I donāt see any roadblocks provided the same techniques used on the current ISP equipment works with their newer equipment.
All valid points for why a VPN might be useful, but those are all secondary steps to take if I truly canāt get my home environment fixed up. For now, all good till the new equipment arrives this weekend (wait and see for myself).
