How to participate

Information on how the NN elections work and how to vote can be found on the Komodo website, here and in the Notary Bible. One KMD earns one vote token. It is possible to send portions of your vote tokens to multiple candidates.

Proposal

Purpose

As a Komodo Notary Node operator I will focus on notarizing. I will also support others in doing the same. I believe that what we are creating here with Komodo is a very important step in the right direction. As such, I take the responsibility of the role of Notary Node operator very seriously.

Pledge

As a Komodo Notary Node operator in 2021/2 (Season 5) I pledge to donate no less than 5% of NN mining earnings to the benefit of Komodo. These donations will be used for promotional activities such as translations, conference fees, prizes, test servers, etc.

Method

I will reliably put in the time and effort to do the best job I can possibly do. This means being available when needed for updates, support and for active participation in the notary node community. It also means I will do my best to improve my skills and hardware continually throughout the entire one year term. Although these concepts may sound trivial and common, they are in fact not. I believe my record, found through search or by asking around, will show that I am capable and willing to make this happen.

Means

Through the use of a network of support I have developed and with the experience, skills and knowledge I have gained as a Komodo Notary Node operator in Season 3 I will continue to contribute to th NN community. I am not a dev or a very technical person but I have found out where and how to find and implement solutions to technical problems.

Network	1 Gbps
