Whenever I run the code, I get [...]

You have to activate the node first. I just did it for you.

Next step is to have your BTC address somewhere on your index.html

Also compelely lost on this thread no idea wtf you are talking about....got bitseeds v2 supposed plug and play and no idea how to set up a web server or whatever to get this to work and of course bitseeds had NO email or any support at all just the box (which seems to run fine as full node found by bitnodes and all) but as to how to register it its a no go for me .completely befuddled...

so I guess I have a full node running (they can find me) but no verify...so I suppose because I'm not verified is just eventually goes 'poof' and i'm banned?

(well that was a mistake trying to setup a node to help and zippo) live and learn i guess

I have setup my two nodes with success. The tip is to create a page that will appear your bitcoin adress.
I have find very useful this guide

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2wrmes/how_to_set_up_an_incentivized_node_in_ubuntu/

but in the last command i have use this

https://bitnodes.21.co/api/#node-bitcoin-address

curl -H "Accept: application/json; indent=4" -d "bitcoin_address=137SdnVDqHdtT5b4UuK4mctua4WJ3z6BKa" -d "url=http://148.251.238.178" https://bitnodes.21.co/api/v1/nodes/148.251.238.178-8333/

you replace your adress, ip etc.

In the reddit guide it says how you can create a simple page. One other option is to install apache2 and after that if you have ubuntu you go to the folder
/var/www/html//var/www/html/
and you create there a simple index.html file with your bitcoin address.

For the windows users i have found this guide but i dont know if it works

Yes, you have to add a line to the bitcoin.conf in order to run your node in pruned mode. If you replace my IP in the link above with yours, you should see which is lacking. If its just uptime or latency it should fix itself.

Well derp on me, I didn't even think to look at the fields and figure out what I was lacking. Seems to be I'm missing Weekly Ave. Latency, which is odd since my node has been up and running for many months and I have a value for Weekly Uptime index of 0.9. Hopefully it will self-correct.

From looking at your node it appears that pruned mode results in a Service Index of nil. What does this service index value mean in lay man's terms?

AFAIK there are only two modes. 1.0 is "network" which basically means its a full node that relays blocks and 0.0 is a pruned node which does not relay blocks. It verifies blocks, relays and verifies transactions and AFAIK also offers the usualy services for slim clients like multibit. I might be wrong on the last part though.

I dont think I will reach a PIX over 8.0 now that I have to run the node in pruned mode... I redid the verification anyway.

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/leaderboard/?q=213.165.91.169

I noticed that since 21.co took over bitnodes my PIX is no longer over 8.0; it had been consistently ~8.3. Did something change that I'm not aware of? You have to actively do something to run in pruned mode, right? My PIX is only 7.6 right now and no clue why.

I wish I could figure out how to register the node I am running on my spare Windows desktop. I have port 8333 forwarding to the Qt wallet and it shows as being reachable on Bitnodes' site.

It's certainly not user-friendly to get your node verified. I have no idea how you would do it on Windows, but maybe you can use a linux device from the same IP?

Thanks for the link, I wish you could just register automatically from their webpage when you "Check Node".

That's not secure enough, you need to be able to do an api call from the ip address that the node is run from. I was in your shoes months ago, but two pages back you'll see that instructions were provided to me that are easy to follow for folk like me that don't use Linux (yet) or program or anything. I successfully registered my node on a windows machine and haven't had issues since. I don't leave my webserver (see link for how to set one up on your machine) running all the time for security reasons, but I redo the api call weekly to keep the btc address registered with my node. Install Cygwin and curl support to enter the command line stuff.

You have a static ip address, right? If not then you cannot register your node.

It looks like the incentive program will live on indefinitely now:

“Create Your Decentralized Life”

I think their API fails when you try to add an onion node.

Bummer... It would be nice to know how many nodes there are on each of the for networks

IPV4=?
IPV6=?
ONION=?

Anyone know the bitnodes API dev to submit a feature request?

Done. Node will now be removed automatically from the site if it is down for more than a week.

Thank you very much, my friend.

It is a great relief to my eyes when the search of your site no longer shows the record of my stupidity when I was testing my IPv6 network overlay. Hopefully it also lowered the load on your scanner.

Hey "disclosure" a.k.a. Addy Yeow!

Could you please add deregistration to your site? Or maybe some form of automatic decay, so that nodes inaccessible for over a month get dropped from your scanner?

I rather thoughtlessly registered several of my test nodes and I wanted to move them to a better, more permanent addresses. It was easy to press "ADD" before thinking it through. Some sort of verification similar to your incentive registration should be a good and safe deregistration.

Thanks.

What happens after December 31, 2015? Will this program expire and that's it?

He's paying out the rewards with his own funds. What would you reasonably expect?

BTW, one of my nodes got about 0.039 BTC. It was a pleasant surprise. At least I can say that I got my scrap BTC without taking part in a signature campaign.

This is very interesting. What happens after December 31, 2015? Will this program expire and that's it? How does one activate their node? Where do you run these commands? https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/api/#node-bitcoin-address

Is the node registry bound to the IP address, so the service can only be used by nodes with static IP address, but not by nodes with dynamic IP address from provider (home server) ?

Correct, the address must not change in order to be eligable. Well either that or reregister every time the IP changes. The later will probably result in a horrible rating (uptime etc.) and thus keep the node from beeing considered.
