## Quote — verbatim

> They were having an effort to decentralize because a lot of their nodes are running on Amazon, and Thorchain — if you know, the team is an anonymous team — they embrace the decentralized values really well, to the core. And I reached out to them: look, we can run Thor nodes pretty well, how about doing a thing — and I gave a bounty... overall it's about four thousand dollars worth of RUNE tokens and AKT tokens just for writing a guide.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Early version of his recurring "crypto runs on centralized cloud" critique; "the first time someone else is paying or incentivizing to put their nodes on Akash" [00:14:13].
