Re: I'd like to help

I don't think this is really necessary. I mean, tons of people already run the client. What you should do is mine with all that equipment.

Hi,

So by running a node your supporting the network but not actually making anything from the node? I thought that people that ran nodes got some small fee from a transaction they facilitated.

I would like to know this as well! Also, how does more nodes help the network?

Running nodes does not make anything itself. You just get the advantage that your transactions propagate faster the more connections you have (helpful if you play satoshidice, for example) and it also helps with verification and propagation of all transactions in the network.
