Thank you for the update ctya x I will wait patiently, sorry I seem to have jumped the gun a bit.

Also: Is a node something I can offer?

My understanding is that it is simply a computer connected to the network that verifies the blockchain? (excuse me if I have the lingo/terms wrong, I haven't looked this far into it before) Happy to help out if this will be any use, I have a computer connected 24/7

On Steemit, I signed up but am waiting to sort the wallet issue before I proceed.

An open, running wallet is a node. Nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will. Upon reconnection, a node downloads and verifies new blocks from other nodes to complete its local copy of the blockchain. Simply open a wallet on a computer connected to the internet and you have a node.
