Does someone knows if a static IP address is required for participation or it will work with a dynamic IP address?
The PIX value documented in https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/leaderboard/#peer-index considers weekly latency as well. If you are behind dynamic IP, you may not stay on the same IP for a week hence limiting the PIX value that your node can reach.

My IP address changes every 6 months or so, or whenever router is off for at least 2 hours, I think I'll give this a try, I'll have to set up something to warn me if IP address change, any ideas on this?
