The free test farm the demo currently runs on has no rentable dedicated nodes left, so the demo cannot grow there and cannot add a second node for the multi-node work. Plan and carry out moving the demo to a network that has available dedicated capacity (the main network today, or the test network once its account setup is in place), preferring FreeFarm and other trusted farms. Keep the existing users running until the new home is proven, then migrate. Tracked as a follow-up to the multi-node work in #264 .

Lower priority than expected. While testing the multi-node work I found the admin machine already manages a second dedicated node on the same free test farm that the old single-node screen was hiding, with room for about nine more testers. So the free test farm is not actually out of capacity and the demo can keep growing where it is for now. Worth revisiting mainly if we want the durability or larger scale of the main network.

Scope note. Since this was filed the demo gained support for shared, non dedicated nodes, and its public address now goes through a separate working gateway, and the long lived internal use is planned on shared capacity. So the goal shifts from finding rentable dedicated capacity to honest capacity reporting and the network of record decision. Keeping open with that reframed scope.
