New Node Provider Proposals

Roadmap
,
299

It’s best to talk with Sven to. As there are proposals for node allocation for people who ordered before, example this

So I think there is still hope, not sure though since its a new proposal

Okay, thank you for your suggestion, I will refer to it
Because our servers need to be couriered from one country to another (during which they will go through customs inspection, which is quite time-consuming), and we observed that there are not many nodes in the kr country, we ordered the servers in advance.

Hi All,

I’m preparing to submit new Node Operator proposals and have recently updated the C12 Wiki page to include the results of the Node Topology Optimizer.

As mentioned in the Node Provider Onboarding documentation, this document is intended to serve as the “pdf with the outcome of running the optimization model and the steps that allow the community to reproduce the validation check”.

Can the Wiki moderators please approve the addition of this document to the Carbon Twelve wiki page?

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks in advance.

Best,
Marc

@SvenF
hi，Any suggestions?
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi @Webgame,

If you already ordered the node machines before 1st Dec you can refer to Adding additional node machines to existing Node Allowance - Internet Computer Wiki, where it is suggested to make a node operator proposal and include proof of the ordering and order data of the machine. If you ordered the machines after the introduction of the optimization tooling, the agreed process is to include the output of the optimization tooling showing that the node machines add to the decentralizaton of the IC.

Hope this explanation helps.

Hi @SvenF
Hope you got some time to check my new email. Appreciate a quick update on it from you
Cheers

Dear Community,

I’m excited to share that I have submitted two Node Operator Proposals for Carbon Twelve.

The result of the canidate node machine validation and exact configuration run is available on the C12 Wiki with SHA256 hash fc8e3fdfd94f7a5c0a9a884fe949f44e206421fa47ac2844c69ba9c5658d57d2.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you @SvenF for your assistance and support.

Your votes would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Marc Johnson

Thank you for your suggestion, @SvenF
I have put the server purchase prove and IDC lease contract into the node addition proposal, and my proposal is connected
Proposal: 126744 - ICP Dashboard.
Please check if there is any problem.

Thank you so much!

I do not think these proposals to add a NO config should be approved without the Node Topology PDF.

The last line on the wiki clearly states that one should wait for the NO to be approved before proceeding to the next steps ( that is ordering hardware ).

309

Wiki Page: Node_Provider_Onboarding Last line clearly says to wait till it’s executed.

Proposals which should be rejected:
Proposal 126482
Proposal 126530
Proposal 126744

Also severals links on these proposals are referring to PDFs on Amazon S3, they are not even referring to pages on internetcomputer wiki

These proposals should have not proceeded with any steps ( ex ordering hardware or signing contracts ) without getting the Node operator proposal added.

However it would be fine for those who got the NO approval before Dec 1 and ordered there hardware or signed the contracts.

Community thoughts ?

I completely followed the link in the WIKI, Adding additional node machines to existing Node Allowance - Internet Computer Wiki. unless the machines were already ordered and in the process of being added to the IC network. In that latter case, please add evidence in the NNS reward configuration proposal that these machines have been ordered before 1st December and are actually in the process of being onboarded.

As for not using the internetcomputer wiki connection, it has been 15 days since December 1st. I just want to process the proposal faster (the link is just for proof, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no mention in the WIKI that the evidence must be put into the internetcomputer wiki) , I can also upload to the internetcomputer wiki without any problems

311

This is totally wrong. The Wiki page you are mentioning the link above ( I do not have permission to post link) was created on 4th Dec 2023. If you ordered hardware before that, the wiki clearly states to wait for the NO proposal to be approved.

Along with community and per the timelines I strongly oppose the above proposals to be adopted.

312

These treee proposals are wrongfully trying to onboard 26 nodes on the network 8 + 8 + 10. Which is very much against the timelines of the new Node topology agreement has been made by the community.

I want community to focus here and be very diligent here. You cannot put a Node proposal after 1st dec 2023 without a Node Topology comparision PDF period.

if you ordered hardware before or signed a contract Node onboarding wiki clearly states to wait till your NO is approved.

313

@MalithHatananchchige is also correct here, “if you had node allocation approval before the 1st december” Which you do not @Webgame and the other GeoNodes LLC

314

I don’t want to argue with you.
I am just actively seeking help from the community. Due to the revised rules, we were unable to track the relevant information in time (we started submitting KR proposals on December 5th). At present, we just hope to reduce the losses. I think the emergence of this official rule “If you order before December 1st, you need to provide evidence.” Community also thought about this issue

315

@SvenF : Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi all, Basic question here. What is the process for becoming a node operator. Trying to jump in, but uncertain as to how to go about it. Many thanks! Brian

Hello Brian,

Becoming a node provider for the Internet Computer involves several steps. Here’s a basic outline of the process:

  1. Education: Before becoming a Node Provider, it’s important to understand what the Internet Computer is and what the role of a Node Provider entails. You can read the Introduction to ICP and visit the official ICP website: internetcomputer.org to learn more.

  2. Onboarding: Once you have a basic understanding of the Internet Computer, you can begin the onboarding process. This involves several steps, including:

  • Filling out a self-declaration form.

  • Submitting a proposal and onboarding your nodes to the Internet Computer.

  • Joining the node provider matrix channel.

  • Choosing and purchasing hardware.

  • Setting up servers in a data center.

You can find detailed instructions for these steps on the Node Provider Onboarding page.

  1. Validation of Candidate Node Machines: If you conclude that adding node machines helps decentralization of the IC network, the final step is to prepare to submit a proposal for onboarding these nodes. This involves several steps, including submitting a Node Provider Proposal, a Data Center Proposal, and a Node Operator Proposal. You can find detailed instructions for these steps on the Validation of Candidate Node Machines page.

  2. Maintenance: Once your nodes are onboarded, it’s your job to provide maintenance to your own nodes when hardware or networking issues arise. Node Providers are only rewarded for their nodes’ useful work.

Remember, collaboration is at the core of the Internet Computer community, and your participation can contribute to the success of new Node Providers!

I hope this helps, and best of luck on your journey to becoming a Node Provider!
