No subsidies, no market-rate payments from uploaders to node operators, no useful apps, and no expectation of permanent data storage.
Using this situation to try to reason that subsidies will be required in the live network is absurd.
The beta rewards have though clearly shown that node operators will respond to incentives, e.g. the massive drop off in nodes after rewards finished earlier in the month, and the massive growth in Ethereum addresses being used when the incentives pushed people towards that.
My best guess is that they feel that 1. there is abuse and want to change the rules on the fly or 2. they want to see what the turnout and behavior is when nobody has a clue about what is going on.
I expect the team saying clearly ‘no leaderboard’, means rewards will be based only on the percentage of attos you earn, at least from now until the next milestone where they’ve said they’ll release more details.
Maybe someone can help me here:
Started nodes on my old imac with ubuntu, then on an old Microsoft Surface running Win10.
But cannot get nodes to run on my PC (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 4TB on the E drive, 64GB RAM), Win11
Error adding new nodesstrong text
When trying run a node, we reached the maximum amount of retries (5).
Could this be a firewall blocking nodes starting?
Or ports on your router already in use?
Firewall settings are the same as for the MS Surface, so it cant be that.
“Or ports on your router are already in use” - how would i check this? how can i investigate?
One other question:
How can I clean out the configuration for Launchpad?
Via Manage Nodes I reduced the number of nodes to zero.
I reset all Nodes.
I stopped node-launchpad.exe and the various antnode.exe programmes in Task Manager.
I deleted the contents of the Node folder.
At this point I thought it must be clean. So i rebooted and tried again. I was quite surprised to see that it opened with 2 Antnodes still showing as Added. Then I saw that my wallet address was still there so there must be a configuration file somewhere. Where is it so i can delete it too? or is there a better way to do complete this clean up?
And even if I delete the node-launchpad.exe, then delete the entire folder, check there are no processes running, then reboot, then download new, then extract to a new location and start again, my wallet address is still there and there are still 2 failing Antnodes present. Where is this information saved?

[/quote].
I thought it was mentioned that rewards will be based on wallet activity, earning and spending, when Dave is released for uploads? So the more we upload and use the attos we earn, the better chance of receiving rewards?
@Chriso So far ok node-side, but client-side I cannot connect.
Both awe and ant fail to acquire enough peers and fail to connect when I ask them to upload. Possibly due to a not so great connection (mobile hotspot) but I haven’t had any problems recently to suggest the connection is bad at the moment. antup works fine too.
RAM load seems higher than before.
6 nodes consume 2.26GB, ranging from 220MB to 770MB per node.
The 2 oldest nodes consume between 600MB - 800MB, and all the rest between 220MB to 330MB each. There does not seem to be much correlation with other figures, than the age. For example the RAM consumption does not seem to change in sync with number of connections, that themselves change quite quickly from around 200 - 300 to about 2000 max. and soon back around 200 - 300 again.
We understand, CPU usage is not a problem and something that doesn’t need immediate attention.
BTW any clue on what happened to store cost in the /metrics (no value there for it) and also not in the logs either. And wallet balances not being updated in the /metrics values either
