is 5m coin bounty for running a node still valid?
not anymore since it can easily be abused
what? since when and why?
what kind of abuse? how can someone abuse a node?
they can bring an old node down, create a new one, ask for another 5M, keep on repeating
i think you still can run this stuff but in weekly or monthly payment basis, depends what you prefer and can use escrow for the transaction
