New Node Provider Proposals

Roadmap
,
257

After spending more time on the Decentralization Optimization Python program, it seems that I can only onboard 2 new nodes and not 6 initially planned. I would therefore start with 2 nodes and expand over time as more nodes are required on the IC.

258

Hi @kennethwwu, when I run the latest version of the optimization too, it shows that for IC decentralization less than 10 nodes are required in Melbourne Australia. Can I ask you to rerun the tooling (please make sure to use the latest IC target topology) and then check the outcomes of that?

259

Hi @zenithcode great to have you in the community and see your Node Provider proposal. To comment on your intention to set up nodes in India, please make sure to import the latest IC target topology when using the optimization tool, because when running it I see less than 12 node machines might be required for the time being to support decentralization. An ObjectValue of 141 means that you probably used the topology status of Sept 2023.

Hello, I am writing this post on behalf of ML SOLUTIONS LTD to register as the first node provider in Bulgaria, we plan to start with one node and then scale to 4 nodes. Please vote on our proposal for registration as a node provider - Proposal: 126312 - ICP Dashboard

Dear moderators, I have uploaded my self declaration and proof of identity, grateful if you could approve it. It is under my full name: Bianca-Martina Rohner.

Dear all,

We have submitted proposals for two data centres to be added where we are looking to onboard a small number of nodes, in line with the new decentralisation topology. We would be grateful for the community’s support for these two proposals:

Thank you and best wishes,

hey @SvenF, thx for getting back to me.
I just pull the latest code and got the node_pipeline.csv from yesterday commit, so now Im having Objective Value: 65.00 with

node_provider ='Bigger Capital', data_center ='Melbourne 3',data_center_provider ='5G Networks',country = 'AU',is_sev = True,no_nodes = 0

in topology_optimizer/main.py.

when I updated the no_nodes = 9 and re-run the programe the Objective Value goes down to 56.00. the value never decreased if I add more number of nodes.

Based on the 1:1 reduction ratio, I think 9 nodes is the number I can add to Melbourne region, is it correct? if that looks good, I will updated the snapshots on my profile page and raise another proposal.

Hi @kennethwwu , Objective Value 65 looks too high. If you can send a direct message to me with your code (as pdf) then I will have a quick look.

265

hey @SvenF, I just direct msg u, I just get fresh clone from repo GitHub - dfinity/decentralization: Platform Decentralization analysis, and follow README to execute topology_optimizer/main.py, even I ran with default “Messi” config the Objective Value is still 65

266

Dear All, it seems my proposal to become a new node provider has passed:
Proposal 126317

I’ve run the topology_optimizer at github/dfinity/decentralization to get the ObjectValue of the nodes I intend to onboard. The initial Objective Value was 65 and my results are as follows:

  • Paris:

    • Data center: Paris 1
    • Owner: Celeste
    • Nodes: 5
    • ObjectiveValue: 60

  • Barcelona:

    • Data center: Barcelona 1
    • Owner: Adam
    • Nodes: 10
    • ObjectiveValue: 56

  • New Zealand:

    • Data center: Hamilton 1
    • Owner: Datavault
    • Nodes: 14
    • ObjectiveValue: 56

Given the good results, I will now seek to submit a Node Operator Proposal for these nodes.

@SvenF I would appreciate any feedback.

267

Hi @C12, thanks for running the model! Having node machines in new countries and in new data centers definitely helps to reach the target IC topology.

Like I posted above, current objective value seems to be much lower than 65 but there looks to be room to onboard additional node machines. Could you direct msg me with the input that you used? Then we can double check on our side.

268

@SvenF my account on this forum seems to have limited permissions. I am not able to direct message you, or post links in my messages. I recently emailed you from m@c12.space, and will follow up with additional information about the results.

Best,
Marc

@SvenF Can you maybe specify what your lower Objective Value was?

@SvenF can you confirm you received my follow-up email yesterday with my results of the Topology Optimizer? I sent it from m@c12.space

272

Hi @ZanderG, the current ObjectiveValue when running the model should be 20. There might sometimes be a small variance when nodes are brought online and offline, as the model now takes the latest status of the nodes in the IC network.

273

Hi @c12 yes I have received it, I will respond to you directly but please allow me some time for that.

Hey Sven, I just replied to your latest email. Thanks.

Dear all,

I would like to formally register as Node Provider. I plan to onboard a limited number of new nodes in countries where there are currently no IC nodes present, in line with the IC decentralisation topology. I look forward to contributing to the further decentralisation of the IC node network and to support the future growth of the IC.

If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your support and votes to adopt this proposal would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Bianca

Dear all,

We(NP-ZTLC_PTE_LTD)have submitted a proposal for our hk3 data center to be added 5 nodes.

Please check it on dashboard.
