Sounds like an anomaly to me. I’m earning roughly 2 ANT a day with a 1000 nodes. 80 ANT seems crazy lots indeed.

I’ll leave this here - graphs of token balances split by where the public IP is located - all nodes in port-forward mode, and all running on the same backend server 
same node count…
- one graph is for nodes running on a residential IP address (1500 MTU)
- one if for a baby Hetzner server running openWRT with a wireguard tunnel back to home (1420 MTU)
- one is for another European datacentre running openWRT with a wireguard tunnel back to home (1420 MTU)
There is definitely a winning combo 
- although I am scared to upgrade if there is a new release.

Just out of curiocity, how much does hosting 1000 nodes cost per month/year on a datacenter?

Does anyone know if emissions (as opposed to payment for data) adjusts due to market price of ANT? I suspect it doesn’t … but IMO, it would be vastly better if it did. Maybe by estimating current value through getting quotes for storing data on the network.
Otherwise, as the price of ANT goes up, we will end up with far more nodes than are needed, just adding to wasted energy and storage space.

You forgot to tell which one is which
How nodes calculations works.. Bssed on?
FYI: rewards are now scheduled to go out around 5:45 UTC instead of 4:00 UTC

Rewards should go out around 5:45 UTC on the second Thursday of alternate months.
Lets face it, there is only one class of noderunner that needs payments frequently.

So is that ongoing or just once and return to 4:00 UTC
And what about the 16:00 UTC one?
One issue with this is that any problems with emissions would take ages to be detected, as it couldn’t be pinpointed when something first occurred etc.
Daily might be fine though, as it’d still be easy to see changes / trends.
Of course none of this would be a problem if emissions were ditched & the funds used to pay devs to work on native token solutions & cool apps instead

Its a valid point but off the top of my head, is this not something that internal auditing could keep an eye on?
And if we reduce emissions payments temporarily to 1-5% of present, then there are much smaller amounts of tokens to be concerned about.

Ok, we have a new emissions perplexity.
I have 200 nodes on one VPS, that in the last batch earned a whopping 53 ANT. These nodes have been mostly running since the TGE (I went to great lengths to keep these nodes alive).
On three other (smaller) VPS in the same facility, I have a total of 300 nodes that in the last batch earned .32 ANT. These nodes are only a couple of weeks old.
I know age isn’t supposed to matter right now, but I must be getting really lucky on the older server.

Same as you. Bigger earnings on one machine; non existent on another. Both are VPS, and at the latest node version.

What version are your nodes?
Only the latest version is supposed to earn now. That could concentrate rewards to them, when the older versions would get nothing.
You can upgrade the node by switching the binary and restarting the service and it keeps the node live time

In this case, I’m using it because there’s apparently an easy way to update without waiting hundreds of hours with antctl (which I obviously don’t do and just reset directly)…

Ongoing until stated otherwise.
I dont use antctl I have my own set up because antctl used to take so long. if we are asked to do a hard restart of nodes ill do it of course but unless specifically asked for i upgrade the node.
