AMA Recap: November 16th, 2018

Question 1:

Any big updates planned until the end of the year?

Joseph Denne: There's a world of work going here, from network development to finalising the onboarding process to founding node build out. No rest for the wicked. And yes, there's more news to come this year.

Question 2:

How is the Founding Node production line looking? When will devices be shipped to lottery winners?

Joseph Denne:It's going well. We have built 118 out of 150 devices and all will be ready to ship the first batch next week. Today I will be emailing all lottery winners with the next steps. These are important – we need to verify postal addresses and Proof of Stake before the postman is called. For those of you here now with your POS in hand, you can simply sign in and follow the process on site at: https://my.dadi.cloud

Question 3:

Any problems encountered during assembly?

Joseph Denne: It's been amazingly smooth sailing. (Apart from delivery times!) The glass component is hand-blown and so subject to the odd (endearing) peculiarity, but so far only four or five (4%) have been sidelined because of small imperfections. We allowed for 25%, so we may have some left over! Otherwise, all components have slotted together very nicely.

Question 4:

What's the process for onboarding the Founding Nodes once we receive them?

Joseph Denne: The process is unique for the Founding Node devices – and printed on the packaging. In short, we will have manually onboarded each device so it will be as simple as plugging it in and heading to the link provided.

Just for reference, future device connections (i.e. not the Founding Nodes) will also be easy, but contributors will take care of the set up via their DADI account pages rather than finding the device pre-connected by us.

Question 5:

How are the Founding Nodes going to be assigned in terms of the numbering? Can I request for a specific number when they’re ready to be sent out?
