I thought that at first blush, but they haven't figured out how to incentivize nodes or prevent spam. Pretty big issues IMO

Yes, and as much as I like the currency, the perpetual "they'll do it out of the goodness of their hearts" answer to "who will run a node with no incentive" isn't very convincing.

Isn't that exactly the same with every cryptocurrency? Why would you run a bitcoin node?

No, it's not. A RaiBlocks node is equivalen to a Bitcoin miner. You'd run it because it makes money.

you can add fees to raiblocks, isn't it just a matter of forking it?
