This is a solid technical write up. Nice PoW. However I think you might start with an introduction that includes why one should chose to run a node and perhaps who should or should not, yet.
Thanks, regarding the introduction: I've got a general introduction covering financial sovereignty, but I've chosen to not include it this time, as I didn't find it to be "right" just yet. I'm going to give it some more work. The "why" in regards running a node is covered thoroughly across the above text, cough Incentives for running a node cough.

Thorough coverage does not equal clear and consice coverage. You asked for the editorial feedback.

What's not clear and concise about it? I really need some more context / examples of what you're envisioning the part to look and read like.
Also, while I'm at it, I'd appreciate an example in regards to "why one should chose to run a node and perhaps who should or should not, yet."

Your intro starts with a very fine what, but one must read paragraphs before the why is covered. You may find many, especially those younger than 40 will need read far enough for the why. I read, write, and edit in my work and you had to point it out to me. If you are pointing things out after the fact, consider edits.
Cover the why earlier in your intro.
I have spoken.

Hm. I'll put some further thought towards the structuring, but honestly?
If a few minutes is already too long to get from the detailed "what" to the detailed "why", then it might not be the guide for you.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I simply don't see a way of improving the above as of now, and I kinda fail to see the bigger "why".

The answer to why is who. Who is your audience?
All writers disagree with editors. All writers need editors.

you're fine for a more intermediate or advanced beginner. They already know the why, so my point is invalid there.
When I say clear and concise I mean for a wider audience. Adding a couple of why statements earlier on opens up the content to some who will stop at paragraph one or two.
Hope you found the discussion helpful.
