This is mostly for developers who don't want to buy a host and keep paying extra money while having multiple the blockchain size keep growing and the node consuming more resources because I don't see the utility of it for daily bitcoin users unless they indeed want to help the network but again, this type of people may find the price a little bit high. The question now is what is the lifespan of this thing?

I really do not understand about this problem, however, I feel curious, why do you need to run a full node?

why do you need to run a full node?

this page has almost all you need to know: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node

read the part on "Why should you run a full node?"
also take a look at https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#what-is-a-full-node

Might be the easiest way to be running a node, but I wouldn't be doing this if you just want to be a nice guy and run a node. Seems as if it's going to be a big waste of money and a big money grab for the bitseed money who're doing something wildly easy, making a little device to run a node and then selling it at a disgustingly high premium to kind of kill it for people.

If you want to run a node, just do it. Don't go ahead and pay all this money into it. If you're going to want to use $160 or something, buy some bitcoin or some altcoin with it and then just run the node on your computer.

HAVE FUN!

Bitcoin is about decentralization and you being "your own bank", that is, you having control of what do you have and over the blockchain.

Use a 3rd party service to do it would contradict the principles of Bitcoin.
