I'm a bit miffed at the node rewards. Running a server on Digital Ocean with the minimum specs would cost $20 per month, yet the max monthly rewards rewards would be $1.85. I don't think that would even cover the power usage on a Raspberry Pi.

If you ran a 50GB node for 10 years the maximum you'd make per year is 600 PTOY = e.g. $22.2 (based on current prices), leading to a whopping 6000 PTOY/$220.

Now factor in hosting at $20 per month, e.g. $240 per year (assuming in inflation), your hosting costs would be $2400. Let alone all the time spent maintaining your server and applications.

I've been a supporter of this project from day one and would be happy to run a node, but where's the incentive? It makes more sense to just buy $300 worth of PTOY and hodl. Unless there's something I'm missing?

You are right, I am waiting and do not start the node, as it is not profitable. but in your calculations, the token should cost at least $ 5 to make a profit from the node.

yes it's too low right now
If we support the node, it will be $ 5.

How much does it cost you to maintain one node? Describe what services you use, at the weekend I think to try to run the node, even at a loss, but I want to support the project.
