200 is closer to what I would have guessed thh

Interesting, I went down the rabbit hole of magicbean v6 and flux.

They seem to be running the ~same software so it will have all the same limitations. Node running is incentivized in some sort of tiered model. They offer [vps pricing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KJf9yI7RGl01ZgkWA8qVPQUwChEfe0JK2UGfubnq4Fw/edit#gid=0) for running a node from their website, It looks like it costs \<30 eur to run a node a month.

minimum requirements:

- 2 Cores
- 4 Threads
- 8 GB RAM
- 220 GB SSD/NVME
- 180 MB/s DWS
- 240 EPS Min. Requirements
- 25 Mb down/up speed
