You even can become an active delegate on your own test network if you login to the genesis account, vote with it for your test node and deselect some of the genesisDelegates.

If you go through the post history of the people running a node, you will get a pretty good idea of what they have done.  That is what I'll do before I put in my vote.

What's up? You need a guide to installing your node?

Lisk Raises Over 5.7 Million USD in 2nd Most Successful Crypto-Currency Crowd-Fund to Date


http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/lisk-raises-over-5-7-million-usd-in-2nd-most-successful-crypto-currency-crowd-fund-to-date/



The news will finally go around now.

Good Post! I totally agree

I think the most important thing for a stable and truly decentralized system is that a lot of different types and people are involved. Not only devs. Not only marketing guys. Not only voters who vote for dapps supporter or only for guys that distribute all their earnings to their voters, etc... A system is the most stable if there participate a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds with different ideas and different motives/reasons to run a delegate node. And every voter should be allowed to vote for whom he thinks it is the most important aspect for him. And if there are different voters who vote with different aspects in mind, we'll get a network as decentralized and stable as possible.

I didn't run a delegate node until now. But I have a lot of knowledge in the cryptocurrency/IT/programming/Linux/Network/Tech-business and I read a lot about Lisk, Cryptsi, Bitshares, DPOS, etc... And I'm sure I'm capable to become a good DPOS delegate  
I will try to provide a very stable, fast and up-to-date delegate node. I will write scripts to monitor and ensure the needed stability. I will update the node as soon as possible. I will provide info about my node. I will provide info about if and how I will share some of my profit. I will try to vote only for trustworthy other delegates and people I think they will help to ensure a stable network and a vivid developing, marketing and user community. I think every delegate node should be allowed to keep some profit for themselves. This private profit is the motivation to keep up a good node. Keeping up a good stable node and provide the service to ensure that is not for free. Some will keep more, others will distribute a bigger part. As long as I think the operator of this delegate adds something worthy to the Lisk world (that can simply be a very stable node, without distributing any profit) I will vote for him.

I hope you all will vote for people who you think add something valuable to the Lisk eco-system. The more heterogeneous this system is, the better.

And yes, of course I hope I'll get your vote!  

If you can't follow instruction to put up a node then you will not know how to maintain it hence not going to get many votes.

been away for few days.. much to read...

did the dev's say anything about what they will do with xcr from bter?

You are seeing it a little bit plain.

A delegate has to be active enough and adds to the network, otherwise the forging income goes down.

So yes I do get money but it adds stability as well.

It doesnt hurt Lisk, since the node has to be up a lot for it to get good forging rewards.

Sure, I'll help you set up a node.  I'll do that by posting here details on how anybody can set up a node.  Right now there's not much to do.  Read the Lisk Delegate Handbook.  Get an account on a VPS and play to familiarize yourself with operating a server remotely.  Review the Crypti documentation and maybe even set up a Crypti node as a Standby Delegate for practice.  I'll start posting more on how to set up a node after April 11 when the Lisk blockchain starts.  

Let me just say that I am not an expert on VPS operations and often I needed help from Oliver on problems with my Crypti node.  He was able to respond with personalized assistance because there wasn't that much activity at Crypti.  It will be interesting to see what happens when 101 new people all have problems at once on their unique setup, and Oliver is too busy to respond because he's moved up from tech support to running a multi-million dollar business called Lisk.

(This is why I have always advocated a standardized Ubuntu 14.04 setup on a Raspberry Pi 2 for delegates...)

Since day one i am following Lisk sideways and was sceptical at first, glad i could convince myself to be one of ico donors on day One and get on board. Now since there is clearly demand for delegates i will be running one node and/if my delegate becomes Active one i will be running Twitter giveaways/campaigns actively with clear goal to reach bigger user base to join Lisk and to spread the word. And yes i am active member since 2013  

I did run few successful Twitter campaigns and giveaways in the past with great results. few Examples:

Delegate username and technical details about my dedicated server at launch. Good Luck

As a good lisker im also interested. But my poor english stops me a bit.
Im really motivate about this comunity and ill try to do my best.
I just need a bit of help.
Ill do everything that is in my hands.

Regards

Edit: @MalReynolds can you help me?

Or do you guys know someone who wants to run a delegate node with other members?

It is on multi signature VAULT.

I am looking for a person, who can set up and manage a delegate node.

We can split the incomes and share the profit with the members.

is the ICO fund in a Coinbase cold storage wallet? i hope it's not in a multi signature warm wallet.

i would expect at least 90% of the fund to be in cold storage at any given moment.

I posted the following at the thread above:

Hi all, I'm MalReynolds and I would like your vote as a Lisk Active Delegate.  

There has been a lot of discussion on what makes a good delegate.  Enthusiasm.  Community activity.  Reward Pools.   All these things are certainly important.

I ran a Crypti node for many months and so I have a pretty good idea of what the job of Active Delegate entails.   It's harder than it might seem to be.

Let me tell you what I think is important about being a delegate:  uptime, updates and upvotes.  

I will monitor my VPS to keep it online as much as possible.  I will install the Lisk updates as they are issued.  I will upvote new Standby Delegates as required to keep all 101 Active Delegates productive and forging.

Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is harder than it looks to get right as a functioning system.   I will discuss weaknesses I see in the DPoS delegate network and work to raise public awareness to correct those weaknesses as they occur.  My primary focus is a commitment to making Lisk DPoS work smoothly as a whole.

That why I listed the Criteria I Personally will be using to choose the people I vote for.
I Hope that other people will use a little more then of I'm getting some money here is my vote like they do in the Us senate.
I wont be running for delegate because I don't think I add enough value to qualify.
Giving your votes away for a little profit might very well hurt Lisk (and the value of the lisk your holding)in the long run by not having the right people running the nodes. If you view Lisk as another quick pump and dump and you plan to exit as soon as it reaches XX value then your way is the best I agree.

Yes true, but as I said in the end the people will vote and if the majority goes for dev's and marketeers etc then my vote might be worth nothing at all

So thats the part that I like, the users/holders decide who gets voted and who doesn't.

And yes I like money, and if a delegate shares profit and runs a succesfull node then its a win for me and the network.

So you don't care about their value add as long as u get paid .. got it .
It doesn't say only Devs read again.
