 deb_simpier | Yes, test nets are beneficial to prepare for mainnet launch and to begin the coordination process.
And thanks for being part of the community! 🙂 | 16:00:05 |
 dmitryown | Will I have a chance to get into the mainnet if I keep the node in the testnet from today? | 16:01:24 |
| deb_simpier | I would like to caveat, that while, we have launched the development of Althea platform- its not "our project"
It is an ecosystem where anyone can participate to grow and evolve. | 16:02:03 |
| dmitryown | deb_simpier Are the criteria to be inviting to the mainnet already known? If I keep the node in the testnet from today, will I have a chance to get into the mainnet? | 16:04:42 |
| deb_simpier | Well, by their very nature, you don't need inviting to permisonless systems. You simply participate if you would like to and your machine is adequately performing the functions of the chain. The token stakers and validators participate in governance to set the parameters of the number of validators that can participate. | 23:40:17 |

| deb_simpier | Great to see so many participants!
Please be patient - there is no immediate urgency to getting tokens for the test net.
There are also a lot of ways to support the project as we get closer to mainnet - I'm happy to suggest some things while you are waiting to stand up your validator. | 16:01:06 |

| drronsuarez | Who is working on documentation for people trying to set up an Althea network? I would love to speak with you. We have just begun our newest ChatGPT bot, Mesh Mentor that draws on documentation from NYC Mesh. Your team should always consult an experienced technologist before applying answers from here. Please try it out. We would love to hear your feedback.

 braingenius. | It seems like now would be a very good time to lean into marketing given the joint Cosmos and DePIN narratives | 18:27:47 |
| braingenius. | 18:27:53 |
| braingenius. | Very few people seem to know about Althea | 18:28:06 |
| drronsuarez | Justin | Althea I am enthralled by the videos that you have done explaining Althea L1, but I felt like I needed an assistant to help me process all of the details you have been presenting. So, I have created a ChatGPT bot to do just that. I plan to be uploading lots of other content to this bot that will cover things like how to enact governance among community stakeholders in local Internet infrastructure. For now, it is mainly you and a short piece that I wrote about common based peer production, where I reference Yochai Benkler.

| deb_simpier | We have some at docs.althea.net, some of the Hawk Team and a community contributer is working on https://github.com/althea-net/community
_chalabi and the Chandra Station team are also working on community engagement and analytics platforms, but all still in the formation stages. Welcome your input! | 20:17:06 |
| deb_simpier | Yes, 100% - keep your eye out for upcoming press and how you can form or participate in Althea chapter DAOs and get the word out too! | 20:54:55 |
| braingenius. | Will do! | 23:08:49 |

 Justin | Althea | That sounds interesting. I'll have to go play around with it! | 01:18:26 |
| drronsuarez | Thanks, I will start adding those docs | 13:57:12 |

 shoegazer [soma|staking] | Sorry if this was already posted, but Messari's State of DePIN 2024 is a good read and highlights Althea in a couple spots:
