It would be nice to see some rewards for people who run a full node. At least a nominal reward let’s say 10,000 Sats a day or perhaps a percentage of a pool of daily rewards across all nodes so the more nodes the less individual reward over time as more nodes are spun up. That’s about the equivalent of $2 a day. Not even a cup of coffee but then again it could attract people to run warehouses full of nodes.

2:28 Time has nothing to do with how hard it is to mine Bitcoin, There is something called 2 week mining difficulty adjustment which adjusts how hard it is to mine BTC based on how many miners are mining and the total hash power they poses.

Glad some one else commented this. Difficulty isn't destined to increase by design, it's calibrated to keep block times consistent. Increasing difficulty is rather the consequence of more compute solving blocks faster.

also, it's possible that bitcoin nodes are a trojan horse or a sort of prototype for the future peer-to-peer decentralized internet. no middle man between you and the bitcoin network, no middle man between you and the person you're sending information to online... plus the important aspect of increased decentralization for the bitcoin network...

I have Bitcoin Core running on Ubuntu 24/7 with the entire blockchain downloaded. Using SSD drives and Starlink high speed unlimited internet. I also have a wallet installed and open in Bitcoin core. But this is all new to me. Questions: Is my system automatically working as a node, or do I need to do something else? There are 10 peers connected all the time. And, how can I run a Lightning node along with this? Or would it better to only run a Lightning node and not the Bitcoin Core? Many thanks!

the idea is the transaction costs will need to be paid eventually by all the users, once the returns shrink over time. the same as that all bank account holders are (partially) paying for the costs of all bank transactions.

The price of Bitcoin will just go up so it's ok

[@hearliam]

miners will just shutdown if there is little reward, no big deal, just keep DCA'ing and HODL.

[@AussieSD]

Am I on the right track here in saying that essentially Nodes keep track of the transactions and account balances to make sure the network is all real and legitimately up to day while the mining more so helps with the supply and approving of transactions that are taking place. The key link being that all the transactions that the mining approves are cross checked with the blockchains existing ledger records on the nodes to ensure the record of transactions continues on the same pattern is has so far as more and more transactions occur?

[@bryanswisher3446]

That's pretty spot on mate although as new data is appended nodes will also ofcourse be matched against the ledger of other nodes to prove legitimacy. But nonetheless exceedingly well done you'd about nail it.

[@junkman8882]

You've explained nothing... why would I want to invest in a node?

[@kostatrivic9094]

To support the network (more nodes means better speed, transactions, finding bug's on the network, less hack's like the 51% attack and it makes the blockchain run better). It's more like a ''volentery investment''. Plus it uses less power & its cheper than mining similar to PoS, there are some nodes (depending on the coin) that let node operators take fees (small reward; for example bitcoin LN Network node) for runing and checking transactions witch is also a volentery option.

[@ambiencelectronica]

Why can’t anyone just say how much these earn? Is it the equivalent of 50 dollars a year or some low figure?

[@adrenolinsdual-sporting319]

Nodes don't make any money. You run them to keep the network stable.
