Some people suggested that a node has to be "reliable" for people to connect to it. The node is running 24/7, but the internet connection reconnects every 24 hours. Maybe this is the reason.

If the IP address changes then other nodes will see you as a new 0 minute node. Nodes identify other nodes based on IP address. Theoretically that could be changed but I don't think it is a pressing concern.

Hmm interesting - my IP address changes every day also.

So does this mean that new connection nodes are effectively discouraged?
If your description above is correct then they are discouraged.
I guess there's some technical details that would explain that?
