Hi,

I got some question regarding full node and leasing.

1. What is the difference if you have 10k waves and setup full node and lease to other full node your 10k ? does full node make you earn more on average?

2. I saw on the http://dev.pywaves.org/nodes/
There's a P2P Port, Free Socket, Matcher, Status...

Does it make any difference if all of it is - ?
As far as I understand P2P Port is for other node to connect to your node?
Free Socket - Don't know what this is.
Matcher - Something to do with DEX but I have no idea how to set it up.
Status - most of the node is "-" so I assume if your node is running it will show "-"

Thank you.


If you run your own node, you get all fees you earned by forging new blocks. If you lease, you will get less in most cases as most nodes don't payout 100% of earned WAVES/MRT. On the other hand it costs you of course the server rent to run your own node. So, under the bottom line i think it's better to lease 10k than run your own node, for sure it's less work Smiley.

In general a node can run with a "-" for all parameters. But to be a good node, there shouldn't be a "-" for P2P. A "-" means you are blocking incoming handshake requests from other nodes. These are needed, if a node is started.

"Free Socket" shows, if there are sockets available for handshakes. Should be "yes".
"Matcher" can be enabled in the config. But currently this doesn't make sense as the lite clients currently only uses matchers run by the waves team.
