so you are saying you are buying a coin with 7 full nodes? i do not think you really understand blockchain ....

Pretty clear who doesn't understand blockchain. It's not about decentralisation for decentralisation's sake. It's about how to create a trustless system. If you can do that with fewer nodes, then making the system more centralised is irrelevant. Why? Because it's about removing the human element from the equation (or mechanising it through incentives). Large-scale decentralisation is one way to do that. There may be other ways!

A ridiculous example would be a completely tamper-proof node (a black box) equipped with automatic self-defence systems - anyone who tries to meddle with the box or its Internet connection dies instantly. In this case, just one node would suffice to provide a trustless system (provided all the software has been independently audited).

Quote from: ”frcat”

But will I get for node if I dont have any coins?

The Qtum Core wallet application has three operating modes:

#1 a full node which makes peer-to-peer connections to the Qtum network, syncs the blockchain, and validates and relays all blocks and transactions

#2 a wallet which holds private keys and allows sending transactions and showing balances, and

#3 reaching proof-of-stake consensus as a block producer by staking coins.

The wallet can be operated in any of these modes: #1, #1 + #2, or #1 + #2 + #3.

Quote from: ”frcat”

But will I get for node if I dont have any coins?

Yes, operating a full node (#1) does not require coins, and in fact can participate in the Qtum Galaxy Full Nodes contest now.

Quote from: ”frcat”

For staking there is not needed run a node?

Only the Qtum Core wallet, running as a node, wallet and proof of stake consensus (#1 + #2 + #3), can participate in staking.

Quote from: ”frcat”

What about staking rewards? How many annual % rewards?

The current block reward is 4.0 QTUM, plus a share of transaction fees and gas. I answered the annual ROI question previously, about 5%.

Hope this helps.

How many coins needed for run a node?

You can run a node with no coins. There is no minimum for staking, but would probably need several thousand to make it interesting. Wallets staking 100 coins, or less, have published blocks and won block rewards, but that is rare.

Quote from: ”frcat”

What technical (VPS) requiments for run a node

About 2 GB RAM and 10 GB disk. On AWS, t2.micro with a swap file Qtum AMI, on Google GCP g1-small Qtum-Core VM

Quote from: ”frcat”

how much is annual ROI?

This depends on Network Weight, the total number of coins being staked, and is typically in the 5 – 6% range. See the stake calculator for the current ROI and to try some different stake amounts.

Quote from: ”frcat”

As I see 96 mln out of 107 mln are in circulating right now... so rewards for nodes will end soon?

The first halving will be in early December 2021, and the last block reward subsidy will be in 2045. Stakers (miners) also receive the transaction fees and Gas.

But will I get for node if I dont have any coins? For staking there is not needed run a node? May I stake just from my wallet for example?

I understand the difference between a project that can set its own direction because it does all the development itself, and one that simply downloads the upgrades to Ethereum and Bitcoin and pretends it's created something new. Grin

NEO is going to become more decentralized in the future.

I reconfigure my portfolio from time to time, eliminating the deadwood. If I'd followed your advice right from the start, I'd still be invested in Siacoin, Stratis, Lisk, and Waves, and lost almost everything! Whatever coin you care to mention, whatever its ranking, long-term hodlers sing its praises. None of them care about me, so I'm thinking for myself. So far, I've maintained my wealth fairly well. Cheesy

Wish I had done the same. Thanks to my foggy brain I'm stuck with total shitcoins, I'll be on a lookout herein to get into top notch projects. Qtum's development, price etc.. is quite good. I still have Qtum but not as much I like to have. Undecided
