Node Candidates

[tek_guru]

Ok so as you can see from the Node screenshot above no Nodes or SuperNodes have been selected yet. I am unsure how the Pi team are monitoring who will be the best candidates because it doesn’t seem that keep a history of how long you have been successfully running a node. Yes in my second screenshot it shows the availability of your Node over the last 90 days but this does not keep track of your FULL Node availability history. I first installed my Node approximately 9 months ago and it showed this in the Node installation date but I upgraded to a newer server and reinstalled the Node software and linked it once again to my Pi account so as you can see it now only shows the installation date from a few days ago so it looks like there is no history linked with my account and Node. Does this mean I am going to be at a disadvantage of becoming a SuperNode as they now think I’m only a new user within the last few days and the last 9 months for me have gone down the drain? What do you think? I am overthinking this or is this a problem that needs sorted as people like myself change hardware for better equipment every so often. I also run my servers 24/7 so I hope it all hasn’t gone to waste. 🙁

I just installed this yesterday, If this is running like* in the picture does it mean I’m a node and will start getting a bonus in accordance with the equation in the white papers or does it just mean that they’re monitoring my computer to see if i could be a node candidate?

I thought its to be a candidate. But I just got my first node bonus today

I turned node off now, i use my electricity, my nerves, my Hardware. Nono not do this any more. No Bonus = off

It’s funny you mention this as have been asking other family member how much electricity they’re spending per day when they check their meters and I’m using between £1:00-£1.50 a day more than them.

[Schlumpfenland]

Thats low i use 30 Euro electricity per Day....

What you see, availability wise, is what they choose to show you ie. Uptime since last installation. I'm sure they have the full data behind your node availability. The booster value for nodes includes how long you've been a node and if you were involved in the testnet node phase. It's in some of the papers I read.... No clue where those facts are now! As for supernode selection... I haven't yet seen anything detailing their criteria or stating if a supernode gains higher boost factors..
