Probably a noob question. Is running the grin++ wallet beneficial for the network? I just think about adding the wallet executable to Windows startup. More nodes sounds like a good idea, but I’m not technical enough to be sure.

Thank you for your fast response. I’m going to check this out. I have a stable internet connection but I can’t provide 24/7 availability. Still, I hope it will help a little bit. Long live Grin : )
