0 sats \ 3 replies \ @quark OP 5 Apr 2023 \ parent \ on: Should miners pay something to full nodes? bitcoin
sure, and with even bigger mempool sizes. But they need the rest of the nodes too, don't they? Otherwise they would have a network where they force people to connect to their nodes and that would be bad. Less decentralized and less privacy I think. All the nodes in the network are doing an essential work too. Of course miners do much harder work but they get the entire rewards. But I know it is not easy to be a miner nowadays so I am not attacking miners or anything like that. :)
You are not running a full node for earning sats.
You are running to broadcast and validate your own transactions.
Anybody can run a node, so I do not see any "centralization threat".

I agree.
but don't you think more people would run nodes if they are told they stack sats by contributing to the network? In any case, thinking about it more, you are right and I see it is very difficult this would happen and just the service of validating your transactions may be enough. All this came to my mind because I see new people I speak with, struggling with running their full node. I think they will end up using CBDCs. :/

Read my BTC/LN guides and you will learn more. You will see that is not so hard.
Is all about learning to do these stuff.
