Clean breakdown
Open Nodes = the onramp, plug in, learn the flow, add capacity
SP Nodes = the backbone, higher bar, reliability first, rewards follow
Two lanes, one network. Start scrappy, graduate when your ops are boring and your uptime is a promise, not a hope
If you’re optimizing for learning, spin an Open Node today
If you’re optimizing for trust and yield, read the requirements twice, then over-provision once
Also: don’t underestimate ops. Monitoring, alerts, redundancy. Reliability is the moat
Who here runs both? What’s your real-world curve on hardware, bandwidth, audits, payout variance
Good step by BTFS making this explicit
