Presearch Node operator reward is getting worse and worse everyday for the last 2 month because
1: A lot more people are running nodes on the testnet.
When I first started it was like 100 to 500 I think... I am not 100% sure though but now it's over 30k 😯

2: Recent price spike from $0.02 to over $0.20
Because of these reasons, node operator reward decreased significantly.
I have about 4700 PRE staked on my node and had 332 requests on my node which equates to 43 PRE reward in September.
After I pay for my server fee, I would get a few dollars in my pockets. I have been running my node since last December and it has been pretty much all in red so it is better than losing money I guess.
Change is coming
Node operator will become open beta next Monday so there will be a lot more people running nodes without registration.
Minimum stake on a node will increase to 2000 PRE
PRE price will increase from $0.20 to $20 🤣🤣🤣
I made my node operator reward chart here
If you are interested in how much PRE I have gotten for running a node. You can see my rewards and number of requests on my node.

I hope that Presearch team will increase the request limit on their API so that I can make a better tool for everybody who like to see their node stats visualized.
DYOR and don't forget the weekly updates!
