RE: Steemit.com is running at a loss! Start generating revenue or get out, you are strangling other applications from succeeding.
I've got to be honest I'm a little confused by this. Are there not any kinds of rewards associated with running a full node on the steem blockchain? I thought that full nodes got some percentage of all of the newly minted STEEM.
Unfortunately not. Witnesses get rewards from validating blocks but there is no automatic reward linked to running a full node. You have to rely on the hope that, because you run a full node, the community will "acknowledge" the effort and you'll get more votes for your regular witness
