In any case, I suggest a proposal for the community to have more public nodes online and paid for from the community fund if needed. -I personally run a node and block explorer 24/7 on my own funds. As far as I know stoffu does as well along with 420coupe and Cam. Nobody is paid for this, then again its only $13-15/mo so its not a huge expense really.
Are current aeon nodes self discoverable for lightweight wallets? If no, here is new one from me. It is on quite powerful long-term vps, so I hope it would help network a bit.

No node is "self discoverable" on the GUI wallet but there is entry slots to manually put and IP and port. I believe wallets like Cake Wallet have pre-listed nodes and my electron wallet puts a default to hashvault I believe now since he always has his online.
If you're ok I'll post up your node on the discord list under the #resources tab like the others. I don't get on here often but am on discord daily so if you PM me I'll add your node.
Likewise, anyone can run that scraper tool I posted and it will scrape for those with open ports. If the users are not using default ports it will not pick up their node iirc.
