I've been running a $10 node since July. I don't know what happened prior to that but I see the facts that I just pointed out. 1) Lisk is not ready yet 2) at this point you can run a $10 dollar node 3) the community can't handle the bugs that may occur.
1. true
2. sure right now on mainnet because genesis nodes are running all the forging spots and are stable because they are not switching ranks. What happens when we're allowed to start forging and the order of forging nodes starts to change and forks start happening again on mainnet and your $10 node is the first one to fork?
3. why does the community have to handle it? We paid Max 6 million dollars to make it work.
2. Then you get paid, and that's a lot of money. You have to upgrade to a $200 node or you get downvoted. In any case you still have a nice income.
3. As a delegate you are the one who has to handle and protect your node. Max only has to deliver a stable product (something that lisk isn't right now) and nothing more. You have to monitor your node, keep it up and updated and protect it from attacks. My point was that some members wanted to forge in an unstable mainnet without being able to deal with the requirements (keeping your node up and running)
2. your answer for 2 is garbage and doesn't answer the fundamental problem. Just because you can have a $10 node now does not mean you can forge without using a $100 node. all other nodes who are not forging are wasting energy.
3. the core code is flawed, what are the delegates to do about that?
Ok, i'm done arguing with you. No need, we can both agree to disagree but I've been here and have seen the the whole evolution of Lisk daily since like page 30 of this thread.
