So is cheap chuck eye roast compared to prime rib.

I disagree. Because it matters WHY you reject the transactions.

It mattered last year when Marathon mined a block that wasn't in consensus and was rejected. Foundry USA ended up receiving the reward because they made a transaction that wasn't valid.

The fact that there are 20,000+ nodes double checking the work matters.

If only Marathon was running a node in that instance the block would've gone through because they had full control over consensus.

I run a node so that when someone else turns theirs off for a bit they know the network is still being checked by others that agree until they can get theirs back online.

The point of decentralization is to keep people honest.

The example you gave is one person trying to be dishonest with 100,000 nodes. So you'd form a hard fork due to some arbitrary block rule the others don't support.

False. That's the way to maximize your node, but even if you're not going to do that, running a node keeps miners and the network honest by still verifying that blocks meet consensus.

This is why many bitcoiners run multiple nodes and don't use them all to verify transactions.

Are you using the built in primal wallet Ben?

I'm using their built in wallet and when I get low send more sats from my own LND node to the wallet. I've only had a zap fail if the other person doesn't have a wallet set up

Loved this movie as a kid. Perfect for #Bitcoin

I'm actually really excited about this. You can have the big "corporate" custodians but diversify with your own mom and pop custodian in your town. Going to keep everyone honest as best as humanly possible.

There are people CHOOSING to remain ignorant though, and I classify those people as stupid. People that have been told about it for half a decade and still won't look into it. Purposeful ignorance is idiotic.

I have others for notifications only.. Facebook to remember birthdays, can't scroll there's too many ads.

I have my x account just to notify me when ocean finds a block. Something about the vibe there is off since really going into NOSTR.

"I understand economics" and "I'm a communist" are complete opposites. 😂🤣
