Do Ordinary Bitcoin Node Runners Actually Matter? | Bitcoin Node Runner 004
PerkINsights and BitLovin take on issue three of The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier: to what extent should the validating nodes of ordinary users have a say in enforcing Bitcoin's protocol rules? Before getting to the book, we cover the Clarity Act and what it would and wouldn't do for Bitcoin, then walk through three privacy tools people often lump together — mixers, coinjoins, and payjoins — and why the custody difference between them matters. From there we work through what developers, miners, and node runners each think the everyday user is worth to the network, why the miners backed big blocks for reasons that had nothing to do with fees, and what BIP 110 showed about where node runner influence actually sits.
