I was just wondering how many have setup nodes yourself and how long you have been running them. Nodes make the Bitcoin environment more secure for anyone who doesn't know.

Search it up on the internet generally people will have to purchase a vps in which they run the bitcoin core with a certain port which allows others to connect.

According to the site https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/, there are only 7480 full nodes (which is a very low number IMO) with most of them concentrated in the US and Europe. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

I never leave client opened, just sync it and go away, since there is no reward of any kind for nodes , atleast that i know of. If something should change about reward distribution, i believe there would be much more nodes.

I also think that there should be some sort of incentive for running bitcoin nodes, i think i read it somewhere that this was being proposed to the bitcoin dev team, but i cant remember where.

You can see this easily by the number of connections your node has. If you have 8 or less you are not running a full node, but even are burden to the network!

Just install bitcoin core software on your pc and set it to run at startup. That's a full node right there.
Otherwise all these people looking to outsource this job to a VPS out of guilt are just silly in my eyes. If you absolutely must do this at the very least go find an Asia VPS. Way too many nodes in Eu/US already.
Oh and if you really, really want to contribute: run an electrum server. Or donate to an existing one.

I have QT running whenever I am logged into this forum or reading bitcoin related news on my computer, or otherwise dealing with bitcoin. I do not use QT as my wallet, but rather use it to contrubate to the network whenever I am doing any of the above.

I don't run one. Yes, it's a very honorable thing to do, but I don't have a suitable computer running a node and I also don't have the necessary data limits needed to run one. I guess I could look into running a dedicated virtual server, though... Aren't there services that offer a prepared image of a Bitcoin full node?

Will buy a computer only for running bitcoin-qt and other 27/7 services. Don't want risk put my main computers under uch stress, because all of them contaim things that will be a pain to get again, and are more expensive then a computer only made for it.

The normally approach is just to purchase a VPS from someone that you trust instead of using your electricity to run that computer 24/7.
