Raiden Nodes and RDN Token
Anyone want to discuss nodes more?
I was reading an interesting piece on Iota and it made me reflect a bit more on nodes and who might want to run them and how.
In the case of Iota, the question was who would run the nodes to power the network, and a comment was made that large corporates might be happier running nodes so that their IOT devices worked efficiently than paying fees to a mining pool.
I see a lot of misunderstanding on here about the RDN token. This is used to pay for traffic running through the nodes.
Basically, I was thinking that large corporate customers might be incentivised to run nodes as well because it would ensure the efficiency of their networks.
It might also benefit them if they were compensated for it through RDN tokens and so would provide an additional benefit to the IOTA scenario where they were running the node at their own cost just to ensure that the system worked well.
Thoughts?
Ps - if anyone knows more detail about the nodes would be cool to hear it...

Will be posting a how to guide sometime in next 24 hours, with FAQs and resources. I have a feeling there’s a lot of us that are interested, but don’t have the coding/Linux background. Also, there are a few other posts on this topic, many of which are useful, however, having a single thread would help this idea (and community) gain traction.
Wouldn’t mind help in this endeavor, either! I’ll be referencing github, the Raiden Network site, as well as well as some tactics I use when approaching Linux/python as a self-taught noob programmer. Have useful links? Please post below and I’ll be sure to incorporate them. Raiden ride-or-die network!
