So if someone wants to turn off a node, they would have to find someone else that wants the license instead of just turning off the node, what if at that point nobody wants the license, we’ll you are stuck with it. Again, I would just rather have the tokens staked. Has nothing to do with not believing in the project. Anyway, have fun with it.

And yes, nodes cost money to run… you are either running a computer that costs money to power and a strong solid internet connection which isn’t cheap, or you are using a VPS which costs money to run monthly…. Again, I make a portion of my living from running nodes on 6 different blockchains, I know how it works.
