Worker related questions:
- Io.net support for 3050 and 4050 graphics cards will be discontinued very soon :(
- GPU demand for the AI market is doubling every month, so io.net will never have a problem with demand. No matter how many GPUs join the network, there will always be people who want to rent the corresponding GPUs on this network.
- Docker containers are completely safe for general users. As with any technological product, the program running in io.net containers cannot access the host system unless there are zero day vulnerabilities. At the same time, io.net containers only use the GPU's tensor cores and VRAM, so they do not have access to any data.
- io.net has no fear about Nvidia's production capacity because it will never catch up with the number of GPUs joining io.net. Taking advantage of the lack of GPUs in the market, io.net will always be in constant demand by various workloads.
- io.net will support cards powered entirely by renewable energy and their coefficient will be higher. The future plan is to reduce the carbon footprint of GPUs to 0.
- For those who are worried that the number of GPUs will drop after the Airdrop, here's a quote from hanz: "Of course there will be a drop in GPU count, but it will work in our favor. A more organic and slower growth will allow both the team and the network to adapt better."
- The impact on the electricity bill of the workers is negligible. GPUs now run so efficiently that they don't consume extra power. Also io.net uses only tensor core and VRAM so the GPU never reaches 100% utilization.
- io.net wants to allocate 20% of the GPUs to its own part, so that big companies can easily give instant demos and meet fast cluster requirements.
- The value of your uptime score does not make sense, every minute and every second you leave the worker on is processed in the backend and you collect points. YOU WILL ALSO GET THE AIRDROP WHEN THE UPTIME SCORE IS LOW.
- DO NOT CONNECT WITH WIFI, AND IF YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN A TICKET ABOUT LOW UPTIME
- those who are constantly blocked and open new workers and those who cannot wait for the time will be penalized, so those who are blocked should wait for the time written in the tickets. This was done to protect those who wait for the time.
- If someone is going to invest in the Mac part from scratch now, the m2 chip should be waited for, and if you wait a little bit, the m4 chip should be waited for. On the Windows side, high cards of the 30 and 40 series should be taken so that VRAM is sufficient.
- No matter how much powerful cards are desired, unfortunately they are limited to a certain amount, so low cards will also work. People who can't afford expensive cards like the 4090 don't need to worry because the demand in the market is incredibly high.
Token and Airdrop related questions
- Although there is no definite announcement about the date of TGE, it is thought to be around May 6th, thus SNAPSHOT DATE BEING POSTPONED. This decision was made by the exchanges, not by io.net
- Borrowing and lending are not considered for $IO coin due to the SEC regulating financial obligations in the United States. It was mentioned that it could be possible if legal problems are solved in the future.
- One of the most popular organizations at the Token2049 event was io.net. At the same time, another striking feature was that everyone was talking about AI and DePins. There was a lot of interest in Shadid.
- There is no inequality in the staking mechanism, as people will be incentivized to run their nodes very well anyway, although strong cards will be staked immediately. The better node maintenance, the more $IO tokens will be staked.
- Tier 1 will not get any drop, tier 2 will get less drop, tier 3 and above will get a good drop. Tier 3 friends should not think that there are too many of them, there are 2800 tier 3 members in the discord.
