I’m really short of words, non of my contributions were mentioned, within several contributions.

It’s just amazing to see.

[Guillermo.chain]

Great work @erik.chain, also all Æternity Ambassadors we have to keep working and pushing the project to be trending.

[erik.chain]

@successoganiru.chain Sorry for this, it was in my draft, just added your excellent contribution too now.

• 14 node running contributions (mostly China, Colombia & USA)

In case people are wondering, I run a node located in Colombia and I tend to use the latest version. It runs on dedicated hardware and I’m planning to enhance service levels.

[LiuShao.chain]

The Chinese node, https://Node.aechina.io has been available for more than 2 years.
It doesn’t matter, does it?

[marco.chain]

of course it matters!

[erik.chain]

Of course it matters @LiuShao.chain, the work you’re doing is essential to the whole æcosystem and we really appreciate your efforts in maintaining your node and of course all projects you have been building over the years! In case anyone wonders, you can find out more about our æcosystem in China here.

[erik.chain]

That’s great news! Wanna join the program to get a little reward for maintaining your node and collaborate with some developer tasks in your free time?

[arpunk.chain]

Thanks for the offering @erik.chain, I could give it a shot although my free time is very limited at the moment. Is there a link to apply for the node rewards?

[erik.chain]

Great to have you with us! You can join the program here and simply go only for that bounty for now, once you have a bit more time you could check out the other pending tasks as well.

[gyan0890]
