Would be nice if they took XMR.

Yes, I agree. But their payment processor has some funky way of adding cryptocurrencies to the payment network. But you can use XMR via xmr.to pretty easily. :-)

Why not get a node post going in the funding section? I'd throw in for that. Maybe every X moneros collected, the bounty can be payed out to setup more nodes.

My original bitnodes post was in the idea section, see here: original post

The reason I put this in the general section was that I don't really think a node needs to be officially funded through the funding system. There are more pressing concerns for funding. Also, a more important aspect of nodes/mining is the mining part. We need more hashing power to secure the network vs. nodes in my opinion.

Anyway, if people want to fund the node, they can, through clicking the image above. Its not a big deal. If there is little interest, I will eventually fund the node myself.

People do need to understand that Monero needs geographically distributed nodes + mining. So if you use Monero, please consider running a personal node and/or mining node at your home or, alternatively, through a service like bitnodes .

I can make nodes on our TRUST network... Which regions do you need nodes? I have servers on on all 6 continents.

How much for six nodes on six continents for one year? Also, what are these cryptocurrency vaults you have? Are those full nodes?

I pay $180 a month for TRUST on 10 Nodes, Sao Paulo is slated for August. We have other members that cover some of the more sensitive jurisdictions. Im sure adding another core wont cost too much. Any particular places you need help? Local taxes play a roll in the cost.

I started reading about Monero after reading positive comments from TrueCryptonaire@BCT. Here is our current Map, we just added Mexico Wednesday.

My node observing the Monero network. The counter is reset each Sunday at 23:59 UTC.

i love this graphic..please post it reagularly!

It's auto-updated, with the date and time of last update showing in the image header. Only full nodes are counted, reachable on port 18080. You can view other charts and Monero compilation tutorials at: http://moneronodes.i2p.xyz / http://moneroxzfonkazxc.onion.to

just paid 0.0917btc for node #2. not sure how long it takes to go online.

all 3 nodes are up now! https://bitnodes.net/status/

Nice!
