I would like to welcome delegation to the node I am operating:

NodeID-DhNYzUwYHPF24Wfz9MmmVyqLBUF6tkEpb (nick named RockSolid)

I strive for a high uptime, but will apply updates on the OS and validator software even at the cost of some uptime, but so far this has been possible without dropping below 100% on avascan.

I chose to validate for a year which says something about my commitment to keep it running. Of course delegators may select their own validation period from 2 weeks to the maximum of the time left until the main validation ends. Feel free to try it out with a short period to test the waters.

The protocol wil handle payout and the delegation fee so there is no need to trust the node for that. The only requirement to earn the reward is that the node has a higher percentage than 60% as perceived by other nodes on the network. It’s all or nothing, so if the perceived uptime is well above 60% full rewards will be given.

The delegation fee is currently 2%.

I have Grafana node monitoring software installed. I also have active monitoring which will alert me instantly in case of problems

Currently running on the Hetzner platform. I also have infrastructure ready to go on another location at Hetzner, Azure and at home. The ability to quickly switch over which is part of the disaster recovery strategy. These enviroments also serve as test and production enviroment for upgrades.

The node is secured with a firewall. Only the staking port are exposed to the public internet. OS Security updates are applied regularly. The validator software is always updated to the latest version unless there is a problem with that version.
