I'll run a delegate on a dedicated vps in nj.

I've sys admined for years on and off.  I run Linux as my desktop.

I don't have a VPS, but I do have a HTPC which is on 24/7.

Hardware: A10 7850K / 8GB RAM / 64 GB SSD / 1TB HDD
Software: Running windows, I can easily setup a linux VM on it.
Location: Netherlands
Internet connection: 180mbps down and 18mbps up

If need be, I can also setup a Digital Ocean and/or Amazon server.

I have the time to keep up with each new test network and I know how to set up the client.

Not really delegate material, but if you still need delegates for the test network (and real network if there aren't candidates with better hardware/prospects) I am up for it.

The top 100 volunteers can start out being a delegate just for the fun of being there when it all begins.

But if you want to remain a delegate, you will need to get and stay elected.
Now would be a good time to start practicing making the case for why you are among the top 100 best delegates in the world.

Example qualifications:

You are well known and trusted.
You have a wickedly high performance and reliable node.
You are located in a diverse geographical location or legal jurisdiction.
You appeal to a big demographic of which you are a member.
You are cheaper than your competitors.
You promise to do something Truly Worthy and Inspiring with your earnings.
You have a cute icon or a clever delegate name.

 :)
So it is like a popularity contest then. Oh well, i prefer to stay anonymous more than pretending to be a celebrity.  :o

Hopefully it is popularity based upon the responsible belief that a delegate will faithfully fulfill the responsibilities of the office in a way that advances the goals of the community.

Nice logos and it is great to see all of the support.

We will be starting another test net in the next 48 hours and I would like everyone who wants to be a delegate to join up to it and register as a delegate.   Instructions will follow once we have completed the process and worked out as many kinks as possible.

sounds great - looking forward to get detailed instructions (how to register as a delegate node) when next test net is up and ready to go!

In Mumbai, India; but I would need detailed steps. I have somewhat of a knowledge (burned BTC for XCP for instance), but have hardly used Linux.

Also, once in a while (average every 3-4 months), theres a power outage. The good thing is that they usually inform us in advance, so is it possible to announce beforehand and take the delegate offline for the period?

Tl;dr, raising hand half way.

I'm in. I can use vps on any main city of China if needed.
I suggest anyone who really want to be a delegate should depoist some PTS as "cash pledge". For exampe, 100PTS. If some one can deposit 1000 PTS, the possibility of becoming a delegate is much more.
Is this a good idear???

To run a delegate doesn't require much technical experience so long as you can keep your private key safe and can follow the basic instructions we will be providing.

When things mature the delegates may have to do more technical work.

Any way to set up a vmware vmdk file with everything already essentially set up? This would greatly improve participation imo as it lowers the barriers to entry.  Cloud services like azure and ec2 might end up being  the prime candidate for all of the community.

I'm also interested.

I'm located in France, for the test net I reckon I'll run the delegate in a Linux VM at home, then move on to a VPS once things get real..

Daniel, what does this require?  If it's about bearing trust, I'm happy to step up.  If it's about being able to monitor technically and maintain upkeep I am probably not a good candidate.

Happy to participate if it makes sense.

same to me ...
maybe i could also monitor..
Hosting DO Amsterdam
German VPS also possible

Excellent question.  I don't have extensive amounts of time for technical details however If it's something I can throw a few hours a week at then I am a technical user and have my own VPS and would love to help where I can.

My current host is US based.

Also any idea, ballpark, how much disk space this will take up?

Thanks.

Edit: On second thought count me in whatever it takes.

I would like to be one please!

I am in Northern California. Amazon EC2, softlayer depending on what is needed is most likely is what I would use for a VPS.

I am thinking that, depending on what is generated for running a node that I would return a majority of profits back to the community. That is of course after any cost to run the node has been filled. I will consider weekly "drawings" if a way to prove fair, charity, or kick backs would be in line. I will let the users who vote decide what they would like. And by no means would any one idea have to be "set in stone" should the voters change their minds. I am of course open to any suggestion should I be fortunate enough to be granted a delegate position.

For helping the testnet then I'm up for it, also for the initial phase of getting the system up and running I'd also be happy to help out until enough people show up who want to do this as their jobs.

So I also raise my hand, vps located in the Netherlands.

We are looking for volunteers to be one of the initial delegates... we will be providing instructions on how to sign up in this thread.     If you are interested, post here and explain what you will be doing.

Requirements:
  1) Participate on the test network with each new revision. 
  2) Run full nodes on the test network and enable your delegate.

Things to post:
  1) Geographic Region where you will be hosting.

The server only requires a basic VPS right now, but you should be prepared to grow with the DAC.

I am sure others will have some feedback for you.

Instructions for how to be an initial delegate are here:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4913.0

You must participate in the next test network to be an initial delegate.
