sorry! i am just a newbie about XTRABYTES
just wnat to ask ~ if i want to register a STATIC NODES....(maybe like masternode?!)
but i don't have a static ip......is that means I still have to rent a VPS to run this node??

Renting a VPS would be optimal.

VPS is the way to go. I have a Pi also, but honestly never have used it since VPS rental is so cheap now.

Eventually, when the XBY platform is live and nodes are hosting modules (such as X-CHANGE), it might be best to have a powerful server running the node. I am sure we will get all the information needed before that time.

It seems like VPS will be the way to go especially if you have more then one nodes. Hosting the modules will probably take more resources to get good performance. It will matter what the fees that you can collect from hosting versus the cost of running the VPS.

Yes, once we get rolling with modules and the need for X-VAULT storage, you definitely want to have some performance and space. Its important to know that most modules will use X-VAULT. This is another critical infrastructure of XTRABYTES.

It will be better for the network as a whole if people use remote VPS servers. More spread out Statics should mean more resiliency in the system. If we have to many statics clustered in homes the system would still probably be fine but it seems that it would work better with greater resources at its disposable via VPS servers.

I believe you are rewarded more for having spread out nodes not isolated to one location (assuming you own more than one), so the incentive is there for it.

That is correct. This is one of several ways to increase the trust % factor, which results in higher earnings returned to the STATIC.
