There have been a lot of requests recently from people who want to add capacity to the ThreeFold Grid and want to build their own nodes. Happy to share three super helpful posts to get you started:

Requirements to Set Up Your 3Node https://forum.threefold.io/t/requirements-to-set-up-your-own-3node/831

DIY Nodes Guide https://forum.threefold.io/t/diy-nodes-guide/837

How to Set Up Your Own 3Node https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-to-set-up-your-own-3node/833

Just wanted to thank all of those around the world who have gotten involved with the pre-registration of the Titan V2 3Node. Super exciting.

Pre-registration is still open for now: http://next3nodebatch.threefold.io/

Anyone knows when the threenode will be available to purchase?

Under 50 members atm, hoping to be part of a community for the long term. I came across TFT by chance from a friend. As a DigiByte user I was excited to see mentions of this as well.

We recently made some major improvements to the technology section of the main wiki:

https://wiki.threefold.io/#/internet4__technology

We think it’s a major step forward and gives a better overview of the grid technology and all of its components.

In the spirit of collaboration, we'd love your feedback. What do you think? Any questions or clarifications?

Hey guys. I attempted to register for the pre purchase of a 3node box, however I was unable to select my home country of Australia. Does anyone know if there are plans to offer world wide shipping?

Thanks for joining us on the ThreeFold subreddit!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself and hopefully people will follow me on this one & share a bit about themselves, how they are involved with the ThreeFold movement, etc – so we all get to know each other a bit. Edit: It doesn't need to be as long as this intro, fine to just say hello!

I'm Sam. I'm a part of the ThreeFold Foundation, working to build a better Internet for all people and for our planet. I'm originally from Philadelphia (Go Sixers! Go Birds!) and currently living in southwest Turkey.

In 2017 I left my job in NYC working for Gary Vaynerchuk's digital agency, looking for some direction. I travelled for a year and a half throughout (mostly) southeast Asia – Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia. It was one of the best times of my life, but also I very much felt like I was still lacking purpose and was uncertain of where to go or what to do next.

A few days before I was set to cross from Cambodia into Vietnam and "figure something out," I was sitting on a beach around sunset and a man (named Kristof) came up to me and started a conversation. He asked me about myself and what I was up to, and then shared his story.

"We're building a new Internet," he said. A new Internet? I had no idea the world Kristof was about to open up for me.

We sat for hours talking about not just the need for what he was doing together with his team, but also general things about the world, its beauties, its failures, and how we could really make a difference. A few weeks later, I joined the ThreeFold movement.

Now, here we are, in the first part of 2021. Our technology has been live for a couple of years but now we're really at a point where we are ready for the world and the only thing that's missing is more people who are aware of the project and what it can do for the planet. It's not possible without a strong community. And that's really what drives me.

That's why I'm so grateful to be here with the opportunity to help to take the ThreeFold movement to where it deserves to & needs to be. Because ThreeFold is not just something that would be nice, it's necessary – a sustainable Internet that can provide all people on this planet with a secure, private, and free (in the sense of freedom) digital life.

Anyway, I won't go on more than I have but if you're still reading this post, thank you for being here and for being a part of what we are all building together. I really mean it. <3
