A few weeks back, DAppNode released their v0.2.0 for users to be able to more easily run nodes. For the developers who are working in the Ethereum space, we know how difficult it is to set up and run a node. The system requirements are high and connecting your node to the ecosystem can take a long time. At the same time, if you use an online cloud service to run your node, you are actually “centralizing” the process of nodes by putting more of the nodes in one of the cloud services (such as AWS). DAppNode helps users to more easily deploy and connect to nodes and also mentioned our Noderunner challenge of getting 10,000 nodes up and running . Right now, there is not enough incentive to run nodes due to the difficulty and the costs associated with keeping full nodes operational on your own systems. DAppNode takes care of the “difficulty” part, and right now Vipnode is working on incentivizing people to run full nodes for people to connect to.
