This is great clarification @Jamie thanks. I was always confused about this. I didn’t know if p officially stood for physical and v virtual, but I was always confused as to if it was possible to set up a physical node on a computer they way @Linnovations did here.
And I now understand why there is a differentiation between a pNode made by incognito and a node made from a personal computer. Mainly being the plug and play as well as the ability to host without staking
I think what @Linnovations created should be called a dNode!
DIY Node
That being said would it be possible for someone to write a program for a linux startup boot disk that basically runs and installs all the software needed to become a node with auto popups requesting the specific information to get up and running on the incognito network? I.e. validator key, port forwarding info etc.
I think I asked about this before, I tried to do what was done here, but I couldn’t get past the port forwarding section. Now that it’s been done and instructions are down I want to try, but I’d still be curious if it could be even easier with a startup boot disk
