Altair Collator Selection Process - Part 2

[Ash]

Hello everyone!

The first five Altair collators were onboarded a few months ago and have been operating successfully for the network during that time. For more info on the onboarding of the first set of collators please check this post: Update to Altair Collator Selection Process

Altair network is now at a stage to onboard the next set of five collators. Those that have already posted an application/introduction on the forum will not need to do so again. For those that have not yet made an application but wish to do so, the deadline to put forth an application will be December 5th 2022.

Altair collator applications/introductions can be found here: Collator Introduction AIR - Centrifuge Governance Forum

Current collator set: Polkadot/Substrate Portal

Good day Staker Craft | @stasrover1331
Something strange happened. Looks like you are not present anymore in the Collator list

Please double-check.
Thank you.

Hi
Short explanation what`s happened.

1. StakeCraft was kicked out for not producing blocks for over 6 hours.
2. Due to Firewall rules StakeCraft was not able to produce blocks.
3. After informing about the issue StakeCraft fixed it and resubmitted the candidacy.
4. Shortly after he was added again to the collator list.
