Do you run a Hive node? If yes how much does it cost

Yes I do, @thebbhproject is the Hive Node. Through Previx I am paying about 50 USD a month for hosting. I look after it myself. !BBH

what benefit do you get by running these?

Do not ask what Hive can do for you, ask what you can do for Hive ;)

I currently receive no benefit personally. I run a node to support the Hive blockchain. The more nodes the more secure our blockchain is. I am also the creater of The BBH Project. So as my @thebbhproject witness moves up in rank, and this may answer your question, the more Hive the witness makes. I will be using these profits to feed back into The BBH Project.

oh perfect that makes sense. Thank you .

Nice building up support for your witness. Are you replaying the entire blockchain or use the light version of it? Hopefully I got right the types of witness nodes... :)

Off the top of my head I am not sure. lol. What ever Hive-in-a-box is from Privex. !BBH
