Presearch: My First Month Node Operator Rewards (PRE)ty Excited About That?
"Excited about that" Presearch went live with their node operator reward program about a month ago, which is still on a testnet right now, so mainnet rewards would be different in the future once they migrate all the nodes, but here is how much I earned in a month.

I used to run multiple nodes but currently, I am only running one node with about 4000 PRE staked on it.
"Excited about that" My node was up 100%
Number of search request received: 172 times (4-5 times a day? 🙄)
And the success rate is almost 100%
So I would say my node is doing a pretty decent job but the reward I earned?

And this took me a few minutes.
"Excited about that" My node latency is not that great but it seems like everyone is having the same latency issue and everything (my stats) else is pretty good so I am not sure why my node is not getting more requests.
My node utilization is 0.0024% so my node is up all the time for nothing, pretty much 🤷
I know this is still a testing phase but this is a tough one...
Maybe I am not staking enough PRE?
I have to pay for my cloud server which was about $10 last month so the reward doesn't even cover the cost. So it makes no sense to run a node right now for me at least and it feels like they are telling me that my node sucks and they don't want me 😂😂😂
One good thing is that I bought PRE for my node when it was $0.02 and now it is about $0.10 so I am pretty "excited about that".
But other than that this is a pretty sad situation.
I am keep going with this for a while though since the team is constantly making changes and nodes are still on the testnet so hopefully this will pick it up soon.
Fun Fact!
