Okay. Thank you for explaining this to me.
Didn't know in Germany, which is my home country, some people where running those servers.

I guess it is similar to all the nods that keep the Steem blockchain running.

May I also ask what is the benefit of running those nod servers, are you getting a share from the transaction fees for example?

It seems you are doing quit some work there, you surely shouldn't do it all for free!

And can a nod provider abuse the server to get some users information?

It is time to catch some sleep over here in Japan.
I'm looking forward to your reply and I hope you enjoy the rest of the day!!
