Hmmm ... well it's kind of difficult to answer that really.

It pretty depends on what you want to do.
At the moment , the way they've set things up , staking your licenses on peakmonsters is pretty much the same as running a node , rewards wise anyways.

And running your own node (at home presumably) would mean you would have to have a spare pc that you can leave on 24/7.

So yeah ... in the end , I don't know how to answer that question.

I mean you can if you really want to , but is it worth it? Atm not really , but who knows how things will play out in the future.

And what I mean by not really atm , b/c of the price SPS is currently at , you're pretty much better off just buying SPS if getting more SPS is the goal.

Hmm ... that's probably about the best I know how to answer that right now.

Hopefully that helps :)
