How much money does it cost you to create that node?
Can I use my PC (CORE i7) to do this, or do I need a specialized hardware device?
Well you can run it on your PC assuming you can make it run consistently without downtime. It's not that choosy in terms of hardware though,  besides ample amounts of memory and bandwidth. You can use a Raspberry Pi 3.


I read on one of the forums that I can make returns from $ 10 to $ 30 a month?
If this is true and I can manage 3 nodes without having to sit in front of the computer for a long time, then perhaps it is considered a good source of income in some countries where there is electricity and equipment.
I don't think so. You're probably going to be lucky to even breakeven with the electricity and hardware costs lol.
