Getting into Node Running: Seeking advice on Incentivized Testnets & VPS setup

[scoofield24]

Hello everyone, I’ve been looking into getting involved in the world of "Node Running."
I’m looking for:
1. Opinions and personal experiences—specifically, how much initial capital you invested, how long it took to start seeing a profit, and how you went about selecting projects.
2. Recommendations for hosting services (VPS) —where can I find the best prices on the market? Also, what technical specifications should I be looking for?

Thanks—any information is helpful!
