    someone is running the blockchain at his own cost

    That’s right. There’s no direct incentive to help the blockchain, unless you hold some coins, and in that case you do have an interest in doing it

    very few people can do this

    I would argue otherwise. This isn’t POW so costs are a lot lower, and people can ask for donations

      Good point, as it’s not POW it’s much easier to do.

      Do you have any stats on who is currently running the blockchain?

        I don’t unfortunately. Haven’t really checked out Nano this far.

        Since there’s no POW, the only thing required is running nodes. They have to vote though, so that’s an added load, but I don’t think it is high. Most nodes shouldn’t have to vote by default anyway because they do not have a big % of the voting power

        It seems like there aren’t many public nodes currently
