My node consumes fantastic amounts of data traffic, which is a real = cost. In the 30 days ending Apri 6, my node: * Received 36.8 gb of data * Sent 456.5 gb data At my geographic service location (Singapore), this cost about $90 last = month for bandwidth alone. It would be slightly cheaper if I was hosted = in the US of course. But anyone can understand that moving a half-terrabyte of data around in = a month will not be cheap.
