    I am interested in becoming a Lisk delegate when the network gets launched on March 21, 2016.

    I would like to know what are the requirements to run a DPoS node?

    I am fully qualified and have all the resources it can possibly be needed to run anything on a computer.  As a professional computer tech, I can get any hardware that I need in order to get ready for the event, but I will need to know what I will need in advance so that by March 21st I can be fully ready.

    I understand that only the first 101 Delegates (or Miners -- seeing it in Bitcoin lingo) will be the ones participating so I would like to know what are the things that will significantly increase my chances of winning the vote as one of these delegates.

    Are the delegates responsible for maintaining an absolute 100% (or close to) up time on the node at all times (because if so, I will have no problems complying with this).

    Also, I managed to add the signature lines (on the past few days I was adding the signature manually on each post I was doing, but I eventually figured out how to do it properly from the settings).

    The Delegates are choosen by the community, so even with 0 Lisk you can become a Delegate, If your in the Top 101 you need indeed uptime or you miss your block and people will eventually remove your vote,

    Im going to run for delegate aswell, so Helping the communitie and show that you wanna help is a good start!

    Good luck running for Delegate.

    Is that true ? There is no bond required to become a delegate ?

    Yes that is true, people just need to vote on you then.

    But how do you prevent people from running a load of delegates then ?

    By getting more votes then them thats the only way.

    That doesn't actually make any sense though.
    I setup 50 delegates (on the botnet i controll so all vic machines that i don't pay nothing for), come to the forum with my 50 personalities and play nice. What ya gonna do about that ?

    Umm those 50 delegates you setup on your botnet are not going to have anything near a 100% uptime, and if you cannot maintain at least a 99.xxx% uptime you aren't going to get voted in.

    Reason:  Botnet victims doesn't leave their PC on all the time.

    But what I will be doing is that I am going to put some of those mountains of motherboard that I have laying around here hooked up with some of those hard drives that I dont use anymore I have on boxes to good use connected to my 200 port cluster of network switch, now that's what I would call at least a 100% uptime guarantee specially with my ultra reliable Verizon FiOS connection.

    I have been eyeing on those $9 computers but upon reading their specs, I found out that they do not come with an Ethernet port, only with WiFi and if you are going to use WiFi you are in danger of not being able to provide a 100% uptime because WiFi is not a reliable source of connection.  Ahtough, you can hook up a Debian linux compatible USB ethernet adapter to it, but I have seen reliability in-the-long term problems with that, but its in the options.  So far using my excess motherboard with its built in Ethernet adapter sounds like a better idea.
