thank you for the low level and much appreciated mansplaining, I have now a clear picture on how to do that and I know I hadn't just dreamt there was a way 🙂

I would say that a home-based diy monster plurinode like that could be considered "relatively" cheap, especially for an odell-level player, maybe he was referring to someone with vested interests and who can muster a decent amount of coins for this side project.

No idea if there are dependable stats, but most nodes around the world have to be home-based.
