You disagree then that a node is an extra backup of Bitcoin and all of it's transactions, and it helps the community broadcasting and checking if all blocks are fine?

In fact he is helping the community, even if the impact is nihil. As there are many nodes online already.

Running a node is a great way to learn more about how Bitcoin actually works though! Would not have someone else learning and knowing about bitcoin this way, in fact help the community to grow?

Please learn more about Bitcoin before saying such things.

  1. Lightning Pub is not a full node, Is a personal node running in neutrino mode.
  2. Even if you run a full bitcoin node, ion order to "help community" must comply some requirements. Just because you run it and have a copy of the blockchain it doesn't mean you help somebody. You help yourself. That's it.

Yes I agree with that. But run it, learn, experiment, accumulate knowledge and don't say stupid things just because now you run a node.

I wrote over 60+ guides about bitcoin and LN, please read them: https://darth-coin.github.io

Don’t be ever affected by some random dude or any comment on internet 😂 (not depreciating people but we are all random dudes in this world). be excited and use this excitement to learn more and upgrade your channels and node! we all start somewhere and it’s important to valorise we are less than 1% of the people on the planet doing that
