Let's explore the validator node bunker

This isn't the entrance, this is a red herring. That's just good OPSEC. I stripped the EXIF/location data from the image anyway because people who go looking for stuff might find it so don't even start.

The real bunker is somewhere in South Australia.
Could be in the Woomera Prohibited area, where rocket and nuclear testing are locked down real tight by the military.
120,000 square kilometres to check. Good luck with that.

Could be down in the South East, where Mt Gambier's Blue Lake is one of our few windows into the massive labyrinth of limestone caves underground.

I know somebody who knows somebody who knows where it was recently; so it's probably already moved.

The only thing the bunker contains is a top of the line hardware setup, running validator nodes for the SPS chain.

@ctrpch.sps @michealb.sps and @mattclarke specifically.

Ctrpch has been kind enough to manage the setup and day to day operations, Micheal has an insane number of licenses, and I'm here as well; so it's quite the team effort.

There are a heap of great people running nodes, offering to run nodes, and trying to select who best to vote for, and if you're happy with your 10, by all means keep them.

If however, you have a spare vote or 3 and want to see the chain decentralised as much as possible, we're a long way from Europe and we're a pretty big ocean and half a continent away from America.
Our power and internet are stable and fast and we're all old enough to have the kind of attention span you want for this.

I was previously on sherb, so if you voted for sherb please move that one over to mattclarke

Great to see so much enthusiasm around all this stuff; it's a pleasure being a part of this journey with you all.

Australia is so big and it seems very wild in the middle of it. good place for a bunker
