QC2 Significant viewrship

Hi

I am about to publish my research paper in a popular forum where it will be peer reviewed. My question is is this acceptance of research enough to fulfil the following criteria?

--they have demonstrated exceptional ability in the field by academic contributions, through research published or endorsed by an expert.

Hi

I am setting up a github account and will start contributing into open source TOOLS. Also, I have a youtube video talking about a new tool that had about 100k viewership.

I am wondering for TecH nation QC2 3, is this enough? Also, how long should I wait before I apply to technation now that I have just started my github contribution. Or just having 1-2 videos with 100k+ youtube viewership is enough for this criteria?

Thanks Guys!
