Is it necessary? Does it gain anything to run for the pool?
I run a node in NEW JERESY.
would it help pool to configure it in a special way.
I'm curious as well.
All I know is I run three Mac minis and 3 pcs windows 7
So the Mac mini runs the node .
It is really easy to run costs close to zero power.
I do not mind doing any thing on that Mac mini as it is not used much.
The other two macs are used a lot as are the three pcs. Oh I forgot about the forth pc it runs Linux
What we really need is a couple of nodes running behind the GFW...I wonder if Lee would run some for us?
I don't think running nodes in China would do anything since blocks are propagated using tcp. So unless I'm mistaken, the inbound packets to the Chinese node would still be subject to filtering/inspection (and whatever else they do with traffic).
