The mining of Bitcoin has shown negative impacts in terms of energy consumption. This is part of the reasons why countries like China have banned the mining of Bitcoin in the country. What if there is another opportunity to mine cryptocurrency in a green manner by renting out your unused BANDWITH and earn cryptocurrency in return?.
Most people have their PC idle whenever they are not making use of it and this idle bandwidth can be beneficial in improving data processing and storage if rented out to infrastructure and technology company, that make use of unused BANDWITH and resources to enhance data access to people. With this, one can be able to contribute towards the growth of the tech company and in return earn rewards from the company for renting out his unused BANDWITH, resources, etc.
STRONGNODE is an edge networking leveraging blockchain tech company that harnesses the power of idle computers such as CPU/GPU cycles, network bandwidth, etc in sending data and resources to the edge where it will easily be available to users, in return the owner of the rented computer get paid in $SNE, the native token of the company.
Below is a Recap of the AMA between the CEO, Daniel Saito, and the community members of
STRONGNODE AFRICA Hosted by StrongNode Africa Community Manager 
The AMA kicked off at the scheduled time 1 pm UTC and was opened with a self-introduction of the StrongNode CEO, who explained that his journey in the digital world started when he read the Bitcoin WHITEPAPER and how he has been computing right from when he was eight (8) years old. As a self-taught programmer and a dropout of high school, he had to work very hard and was able to start two ISPs in the USA ( dedicated to gaming ) and Japan ( consumer ISP). He
has also deployed 2 satellites into space for a News Corp venture in Japan, before the age of 27, wrote and designed the 4G specification around how to interface with the Security Enclave (TPM) in all current-day mobile phones.
Next was questions sections from StrongNode Africa CEO. Details of some of the questions and answers include;
Africans are already waiting to know what strong node is all about.
Can you give us an overview of the strongnode ecosystem?
"StrongNode is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service technology company and innovation lab. We harness the power of latent and idle compute like the CPU/GPU cycles, network, and storage of the everyday devices for the common man/woman. In return, you get paid in StrongNode tokens [$SNE] when you lend your network and compute resources.
What is the mission and vision of StrongNode? We are on a mission to power companies globally through the next generation of edge networking by uniquely harvesting a trifecta of idle compute resources and leveraging new blockchain technologies. We wanted to address the last mile, which is the EDGE and build a global edge network through access and monetization of idle resources"
Next was three questions selected from Twitter which can be seen below.
1. What are your long-term marketing plans. Are there any plans for big partnerships you guys plan on utilizing to pass your product onto the normal especially non-crypto people across the African continent? What's the most ambitious goal of your project? What is the ultimate vision?
From:
@Edmond_Uptrennd
We have a strong marketing team. We love reaching out to the community through these AMAs. We are a global project, that's why we are here talking to everyone in this community as it's a key market for us to succeed in. We firmly believe that COMMUNITY drives product development. When running an open-source project, the value is derived from community involvement and it is up to the community to dictate that it is a success. Our project is open to novice to über developers. When it comes down to it, our products are simple enough where the background tech doesn’t matter.
As for partnerships, the business development aspect has been going on overdrive. We have been closing deals left, right, and center. Our launchpad partners Starter.xyz and BullPerks.com will help us roll out the $SNE token to the world for our upcoming IDO. We are partnering with the folks at QUICK SWAP as they will be our liquidity provider and utilize their farms with StrongNode. Our recent partnership with Xfinity was announced on NewsBTC. So you can expect more announcements from us in the coming weeks".
2. We all believe that NFT will soon take a good seat in this space, is there any special plan made for the creating and using of NFT that will make StrongNodeEdge unique from the existing ones, how can early NFT Artists join?
From:
NFT is actually at the genesis of the StrongNode project. When you first onboard to StrongNode, you have to conduct User Registration / KYC. Upon completing this process you will be sent a wallet-specific unique non-movable NFT token that will act as your login credentials on to the StrongNode network. This is similar to logging into * log in using Facebook or * log in using Google. this approach is Single Sign-On, as we will open this architecture up so anyone having this special NFT means you have successfully passed KYC checks and approval.
We are building out a massive cross-platform NFT strategy across our whole ecosystem. We will be addressing NFTs in a BIG way - from showcasing ART, MEDIA, and specifically MUSIC. Eventually, we are not just talking random generative art projects we see springing up left and right. NFTs have massive use cases, especially when it comes to gaming, which we are HEAVILY focused on.
