+## [](#tl-dr)TL;DR
+
+[Satinder Grewal] and [Nitin Sharma] are teaming up under the name **Meshbits** to help grow and support the **[Komodo community]**.
+
+Satinder has been contributing by solving various problems for the community, by dissipating knowledge and by delivering on his promises such as BarterDex.
+And now by using his personal funds for running **electrumx servers** and notary nodes.
+
+Nitin has volunteered his time to setup stable, automated quality infrastructure for electrumx servers and notary nodes.
+
+We intend to invest the revenue from notary node operations in growing the Komodo echo system and therefore **we are contesting in Notary Node 2018 elections.**
