Might be a good idea to include the Indexer address as well.

Can you explain a bit of what your daily work as an indexer looks like? What types of maintenance and monitoring time commitment is running an indexer after the initial ramp up and setup? Is it a full time or a part time job?

This should be included/linked with the index-profile of each indexer!

Hi Payne, I’d be interested in knowing what kind of technical setup and infrastructure you are using for your indexers. Are you an autodidact or do you have a background in this sector? (Please ignore if that’s too private!)

I think @Cole’s question about your daily work as an indexer is also extremely interesting.

I think its even better if there is a new category for Know Your Indexer. Easy to find info about indexers then.

Based on your experience, what advice would you give to someone just getting into this protocol (like myself)? What did you find most helpful when getting started?
