It would be nice to hear from the developers how they evaluate the work of the nodes and conduct the lottery.
Hi guys!
The nodes are picked randomly throughout the whole week range. Nodes are crawled hourly.The more hours node is online - the better the chance for it to be in winners list.
It does not make too much sense to bring up nodes for short time when the period ends (and we see this behavior lately, up to 40+ nodes appear).
It would be more efficient to bring 2-3 nodes online constantly.
probability of win for 40 nodes for 4 hours (~160 points) roughly equals 1 node online for 1 full week (24*7 = ~168 points)
You can see hourly updated nodes list at:
https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/nodes_list (and can check that it's better to have constantly running node to win rewards)
I am up for more than a week now, but I can't find my node in the list. Running on windows from uk.
If you run BGL on windows, it functions as expected, but to get your node fully working as full node, you have to allow incoming connections because otherwise windows firewall would block them by default, so other nodes won't see yours. Port is TCP 8454/8455 for BGL mainnet.
Or you can run node on Linux (e.g. on affordable VPS - there are instructions here, it's really easy
