## A reward for running a full node is deprecated, but the proposal for a reward for clients remains
While Casper validators are incentivized to validate transactions, there are still no incentives for relaying blocks and storing data (which includes state). Note also that [Rocket Pool](https://github.com/rocket-pool/rocketpool) is under development and is planned to be a pool for Casper. In light of these two points, perhaps a more appropriate approach to generally rewarding clients would be to incentivize bandwidth (relaying and downloading), storage and I/O (while computation is already incentivized with gas for miners and will be for proposers under sharding and Casper). Note also that notaries will be incentivized to download collations under sharding. Given that it looks like Casper FFG will be implemented soon, to minimize undue complexity to the protocol, incentivizing validation in the mean time may be considered not worthwhile. For a previous version of the proposal containing a proposal for rewarding a full node, refer to [here](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/commit/97e235d0ba4a88b4ce29834aa2b94107b8d91e12#diff-9a43a8739b5a9e1dec427324cb264921).

## Simple Summary
When each transaction is validated, give a reward to clients for developing the client.
