Money spent on defense is not productive. Hence reducing that cost as much as possible is desirable.
This is why you want node running costs to be low.

It cost me almost nothing to run a node. What does that have to do with defense?
So hashing is offensive? #softwar
We don’t want running a node to require heavy duty servers, do we? I rather like being able to run my node on an 8gb RAM Rasp Pi 4 with added 2TB disk. Not sure how long at this rate my hardware will remain viable. It’s only a few months old.
Quite a while.
I sure hope so. Watching the mempool transaction count grow has been my recent entertainment. 😁
Yeah, but that doesn't really matter that much. You'll get full blocks for awhile, but it's still capped to some extent. And the ordinals thing will die off as soon as enough people get rugged/sick of making dick jokes on chain.
I guard my node with my Glock, seems productive so far.😅
