Questions

  • what about the DIY nodes we have? …we will be able to transit to v4. but what about hardware requirements for existing and new DIY nodes?? | Reference: https://t.me/threefoldfarmers/79360
  • will there be different compensation e.g. DDR3 NODS VS. DDR4 Nodes | Reference: TF V4 Questions

What kind of DIY hardware would be most useful to support the V4 grid? What can you say about some expectations, requirements that potential users/large customers have stated they’d want in their nodes? Think of generation, performance, bandwidth, gpu (basic or high-quality).

Is there anything you have in mind, except for supply/demand and usage-based rewards, to incentivise farmers to bring hardware to the grid that aligns with the answer to the first question?

In the documents it says INCA will have proof of capacity (for strategic locations) and proof of utilization. Can we assume V4 will have a base pay of some kind for all nodes, or is this base/proof of capacity reward just for nodes in strategic locations? Which locations are strategic, how is this determined?

I read that TFT will soon have the option to bridge to Solana. Is this INCA? Or will there be TFT on Solana next to this?

How and when do we get the option to swap TFT for INCA? Will this be before or after the public launch of INCA?

Is there an estimation for when V4/ Inca is going to launch?

How are farming pools created initially? Do these also mean we can team up our nodes with other farmers and share utilization rewards collectively?

Could you explain in detail what is meant by the 18-month vesting? Will all (farmed/granted) INCA be subject to this? Also the TFT-swapped INCA? If farmers choose to get paid in BTC, how does it work then?

It says Threefold V4 is self-healing. Does this mean there is going to be some kind of built-in redundancy? Maybe some interface where a user can set this up in an easy way?

That’s it for now. :slight_smile:

Amazing. You’re on fire. Thanks.

Can our farms with multiple nodes work as one node? This way instead of turning 5 nodes on with each 10% usage, we can turn one node on with 50% usage. When the usage increases the next node in line will automatically turn on. this will help save a lot on electricity.
If we are paid per usage in the future why should one have 5 servers on with each only a few percent utilized.

From imp221 on TG:

  • When will threefold do a proper marketing campaign?
  • And are we going to have some concrete dates with regard to V4 roadmap.
