I want to be a node I have 40 K Boscois. Where can he find information on how to do it?

May I know what are the setups required to set up the master node once I have over 40k boscoin? Can someone provide a video tutorial or a guide posted by the team?

Running a node is not possible right now, but will be once the MainNet launches. Instructions on how to run a node will be provided in the future.

What is the server requirement for setting up the node.? Do we have this information or this too would be provided later along when the node setup is active?

The hardware requirements won't be high, the team has stated that a Raspberry Pi could suffice. What's more important is a stable and fast internet connection. Specific requirements will be announced when we approach TestNet launch.
As for node software, distributions will initially be made available for Linux and MacOS, Windows will be supported at a later stage. A question regarding this has been asked during the AMA:

The question is about which operating system BOSnet will support and we are approaching this in two ways, development and operation. For operation purposes we are using cloud which is based on Linux and development wise we are using MacOS so focus lies on these two operating systems. We are looking to support other operating systems such as Windows at a later stage when the product is stable and mature, but for now we are focusing on Linux and MacOS for development and operation. Just to let you know, the prototype is using Python and development of BOSnet is being done by D and both languages have many advantages so there will be no problem to support other operating systems.
