I’m somewhat tech retarded. And the enemy has been attacking my life at every angle.

We are living in a time when other people do almost everything for us. People do not even pick up their own takeout anymore much less cook for themselves. Very strange. I didnt even have wifi in my home until covid shutdowns forced me to get wifi so I could continue teaching. Within 6 months, I h...

Most people don't see the importance of running a node. Took me 3 years after I started running my own node

Do we actually know how many since possibly the majority are Tor hidden nodes?

I spoke to my friend, who started buying in the last year, about this. He asked: how much money can I make with this? I think that’s a big part of the answer

Mining pools consolidate large numbers of mining rigs into a single node / entry point

Running a pair here 🫡

Running one is a relative priviledge and not a necessity, so no one cares to unless you are willing to.

Most people are lazy and retarded

Because it’s too expensive and/or complicated for the benefit it provides. We need $100 turnkey nodes.

It took me a while to make mine reachable from bitnodes, and I'm a technical guy. Then I installed a vpn and now my node is again unreachable 😆 I believe only a minority of running nodes are actually reachable.

They're not here for freedom.Only for number go up.

They cost.

It costs electricity, internet and needs hardware to store. Its number is going up slowly though

Why should we have more?

My understanding is that many of the nodes are not reachable Start9 nodes - since they use Tor - do not show up as reachable I'm not sure if anyone has an accurate estimation of nodes
