Silk Nodes - Validator Profile
Hello there Cosmonauts, Let us introduce ourselves…. We are Silk Nodes and you can find us here: • Twitter • Discord • Website • All other links About Silk Nodes 1. Can you tell us a little bit about your validator – who are you and what makes you stand out from the others? Here at Silk Nodes, our focus is primarily on building and operating secure infrastructure for blockchains and other decentralized networks to support and push forward those projects and chains, thus accelerating the adoption of decentralized technology. We run our highly secure and reliable nodes for PoS protocols on enterprise-level hardware to ensure maximum security and efficiency Also, along with our secure nodes we also additionally go the extra step and support a number of IBC enabled chains by running our Interchain relayers - by relaying IBC packets we are also contributing and ensuring the liveness of the Interchain network 2. How long has your validator been active on the Cosmos Hub? Silk Nodes has been active on the Cosmos Hub since June 2022 but our team members are long-term true cosmonauts. Silk Nodes first validator set was to support the Cosmos Hub as we…

We hear there’s a bare metal group @jacobgadikian - here’s what we are starting out with, growing our bare metal stack.
Best Server Specs reserved for our Validators:
2 x E5-2680V4 CPU
Total of 56 CPU threads running at 3.30 GHz max.
196 GB of ECC DDR4 Ram with a max capacity of 1.5 TB
SSD in raid configured for best IO performance.
Redundant Power Supplies, and hot-swappable if there is a power supply failure.
We are planning for big things for the cosmos ecosystem, and being able to pack a lot of hardware in a small amount of space to keep data center costs low…
We arrive at the data center with big plans, lots of hard drives
Now we have hardware for monitoring, snapshots, and backups, with an array of different hardware to support the infrastructure we plan to build. We keep on building and adding to our stack
Recently we performed an upgrade to take our offerings to the next level and would like to share what we’ve learned and details about our upgrade. Our constraints are budget and space. With this upgrade, our goal was to containerize our validators, and secure them to minimize any possibilities of breakouts if there ever is a breach, add high availability with horcrux for our validators, and use caddy to provide HA api/rpc/grpc services for the chains we are active on to help with the network. HDD Upgrade: The 870 QVO drives that we started out with where great until they weren’t. We where started off using these drives, but we found the performance degraded significantly over time, and looking at this graph below you can see that the benchmarks show exactly what we where experiencing. image 727×480 23.4 KB So we went and tested with different hardware that would work for our stack. We learned that we need hard drives that can sustain a beating 24/7 and not buckle under the pressure of constant random read/writes. This is pretty easy when you have a big budget or a lot of space in a datacenter. For us, we needed to find a way to upgrade our hard drives with a…

May I know how is it possible that from kepler staking my Atom was redelegated without my confirmation and now I don’t see it in my dashboard?

We get asked this quite a lot so i’m going to assume that you have decided to liquid stake your Atom on Stride, the way the Liquid Staking Module (LSM) works is if your current validator does not self bond then they do not qualify for LSM delegations so Stride will automatically delegate those funds to Silk Nodes temporarily because we have the most Atom self bonded, the delegation then gets split between all 32 of Strides chosen validators.
You should see your funds when you log back into stride.
Sorry, but i was never registered in Stride and never worked with them. Only Atom coins were transferred and from 2 different validators. Thats really wierd

If you did not liquid stake your assets yourself then it looks like your wallet may unfortunately be compromised.
Unfortunately this is becoming are more common approach from hackers/scammers that they can liquid stake your Atom to get around the 21days unbonding.
It was 12 days ago. But I checked stride, there is nothing already. I thought that if it was sent ftom my wallet it supposed to be back also back after staking, but nope
