As a new developer and new user of the Algorand ecosystem, I was originally inquiring about running an individual node, I see there’s two different types of nodes relay and “non-relay/participation” nodes.

The staking rewards were automatic for any holder of Algos. At no time were rewards given for non-relay nodes so there is no change to incentive for node runners.

Thanks for your reply - so my understanding is that individuals who run nodes don’t get any monetary benefit for running a node? However Accounts are tied to node runners, from this video ( Algorand Blockchain Core Protocol Overview - YouTube ) users are selected to participate in consensus based on t…

There is definitely consensus protocol and yes accounts are tied to nodes if they’re participating. This account tying is done to provide the information about the amount of stake they currently have to influence their weighting during the selection process.

Algorand participation non relay nodes: Previously we you could run a participation node and participate in Algorand Consensus Protocol where you can stake and earn Algo but this is being phased out as of mid may? Algorand consensus has never been incentivised.

Perhaps good start is to incentivize node runners who provides means for generic people to make their account online. Something like “mining pools” on bitcoin… Have you seen video on how to make the account online from web wallet? Make your algorand account online - YouTube
