Just curious, but will there be a "Find the 3 logical bugs" type of reward for IOTA like Nxt? I know this isn't Nxt, but IMHO that was a great way to have everyone knit-pick the code AND market the coin.
Nothing like that is planned AFAIK. |

Guys, we need more public nodes, so far only 5 entities have declared their willingness to run them...

Add me to the list. I'll try to keep one consistently going until the network picks up.

Ok, nevermind. I don't have an available static IP. I was just going to keep the client running at my home. I'd fire up a free AWS but I've used up all of my free accounts years ago.

I could help with Android TV stick with static IP, running linux, but don't know it will not explode as I also run NXT public node on it  |

Well, the idea is that storage isn't cheap if the device is an IoT device. Imagine a low-end chip that only has less than 1GB of on board memory cause this functionality is only secondary to the device. 1GB won't go far in a couple years, especially if that 1GB is used to manage other systems on the simplistic device.
Bandwidth, however, could be "cheap" if all the machine needs is a wifi connection to a local connection.
If you are an IoT device you'd better load tangle from young transactions to old. We discussed this issue and decided to change the plans regarding pruning. The original plan was to start without pruning to see how popular on-tangle messaging will be. This plan has such a drawback as necessity to make non-compatible changes in the future. Recently we were contacted by a couple of hardware manufacturers which had become interested in Iota. If they adopt Iota protocol then non-compatible changes may break their solutions, so pruning support from the very beginning seems to be the only right step. This will require to change some code and add more pieces, so expect that the test will be delayed. Also, we are still discussing if we should allow testnet to be run before the mainnet. |

a broadcast on https://www.reddit.com/r/IOTAtoken/ + @iotatoken + https://www.iotatoken.com/ should help; although running a node without reward (I'm correct in thinking there are no tx fees?) will presumably only be of interest to those who partook in the crowdsale. |

Bitcoin nodes don't get tx fees but there are still plenty of them. |

It's not an analogy, it's exactly the same situation. |

TPS is not capped, high load just increases confirmation time.
...
Could you please elaborate a bit on this. Do you have any rough estimates regarding the relationship between TPS (high load) and confirmation time? |

It's not an analogy, it's exactly the same situation. Bitcoin has made many people wealthy enough to not care if they spend $10 or $100 a month to run some nodes. IOTA hasn't made anyone outside the dev team any money yet. And, Bitcoin has miners. |

Can't argue on the first half, not enough data. Regarding miners in Bitcoin, their number is smaller than run nodes. Also half of the miners use lightweight nodes, this caused one of the recent Bitcoin forks. So there is something else that forces people to run full nodes. |

Wow, excellent congratulation for the 4.000 USD. And look at the compeditors, well done! CfB: I have a dynamic IP and not a lot of knowledge how to set up an Node. I'm just the average joe. But if there would be some advice "setting up a IOTA-Node for dummies" I can probably help, because it's in my own interest as investor. |
