0 sats \ 9 replies \ @DarthCoin OP 6h \ parent \ on: Some important aspects for node runners bitcoin
It really doesn't matter how many knots or core nodes are running. The only thing that matter for the Bitcoin network is the reachable nodes not the virtue signaling (personal) nodes. Anybody is free to run whatever they like (for personal use), I really do not care. What I do care is about those who says "to help the network" b ut in fact they have no idea what they are doing.
But if they do not configure properly their nodes, and also have LN channels, they could get rekt. Is like shooting yourself in your own foot.

Does this mean that all Start9 nodes, which only run over Tor, are unreachable?

yes. All those doesn't matter for the network, are just personal nodes (virtue signaling). Is like all those adding a flag to their twatter handle :)

Another point is whether the node is even connected to a wallet. Many Knots users have the machine running but havent connected to Sparrow so there havent been any transactions through the node and it is not an 'economic' node. Is that correct?

That is another aspect that is not important/related in this debate. What they do with their own personal nodes is their problem.

OK, interesting. That's a huge number of operators I imagine.

Watching them how soon they will start complaining that their LN channels got rekt in FC. Making popcorns... and waiting for the mess.
