Intent to validate Kusama
The last few weeks we’ve been looking into Polkadot and Kusama. We are pretty late to the party but we are pretty enthusiastic about what we’ve seen so far!

Kusama is Polkadots test network with a twitch. It is going to run fully decentralized, so it won’t be restarted or killed but it will keep on running, hopefulle forever
Kusama is Polkadot’s canary network. It is an early, unaudited, and wholly experimental network, designed to help understand how the various cutting-edge technologies introduced in areas including governance, staking and sharding work under real economic conditions…
We have been running a Kusama validator for a while now and with the addition of validators the time comes to up our game and get nominated. We need you for that though!
Everybody that got DOTs in the ICO (that is, everyone except us ;)) also has KSMs. You can get them here: (https://claim.kusama.network)
In order to validate you need to put up a self bond and get nominated (delegators) by other KSM hodlers. We would like to ask you to nominate us (you can nominate up to 16 validators), to give us a shot at validating the Kusama network and learn more about it before we do the same for Polkadot.
You can find us on https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/staking
