Hi StoreMe2,
I think you might be getting ahead of yourself. Currently your node will not be disqualified for downtime. And when disqualification is enabled for downtime in the future, they will (as of the latest information) allow up to 288 hours per month as a starting point, although the current expectation is that after initial testing the allowable downtime will be somewhere around 36 hours per month. You can read about it here:
So please keep your node online! I too have been around since the v2 days. I think this is a great project otherwise I wouldn’t have kept up with it for so long. It seems like you think so too, so don’t throw in the towel yet! Bottom line is that your node should be just fine if the only problem was being offline.
