Earned 20 Myst
You do the math to evaluate if it is worth running the node at home. 20 Myst is approx USD6, you earned roughly 2 dollars a month. This calculation also discounted the electricity used to run the node.
It really depends on the userbase of the ecosystem, if not many users are looking to run their internet as your geolocation, you may earn really less.
Withdrawal transaction fee that's costly a little too much
The settlement fee is fixed at 20% + the blockchain fee.
So, with these fees, you are losing more than 20% of your earnings each time you withdraw.

| The settlement with a 20% earnings deduction |
If you earned 5 myst, your final income is roughly 4 myst. And this withdrawal is done automatically whenever the earnings reach 5 myst.
Next, you can also see the exact amount you are getting from their [Auto withdrawal: On ] button.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of the 20% settlement fees, I believe no one does like it. For node runners with low earnings already not getting much, the 20% further reduces the motivation causing us to lose interest fairly quickly. Hopefully it's something Mysterium Network would focus to improve in the near future to help and motivate the low earners.
