why would i care to run a node? retarded

1. Blockchain takes too long to download
2. Have no reason to

Not anymore.

Seriously guys, you need to get a grip. Craig is Satoshi, deal with it.
BSV is the original Bitcoin and it works just fine. Why mutilate it with a non working insecure off chain solution?

i trust other sources to verify my transactions

0 incentive

DELET THIS

Go shill your weather website mined, cp centralized blockchain shitcoin on your own threads you and your band of call center subhumans post nonstop here.

not according to satoshi >>16270493

I did add btc today. something tells me the halvening will eat up some of the real btc supply derivative fags be dammned

>>16271303

So the network can be decentralized.

>>16271306

It only took me a day.

>>16271312

Why not?

>>16271320

How will you know your money is safe unless you hold your own copy of the chain ?

>>16271326

Why?

>>16271336

There are many incentives.

im not even a btc fan but its the gateway in for norm and his pals

>>16271400

?

>How will you know your money is safe unless you hold your own copy of the chain ?

Because if my money isn't safe then neither is anyone else's and the network fails anyway because math and incentives.

>>16271410

Why do you care about other people's money?

>>16271419
I don't think I've ever seen anyone deflect this hard before.

>>16271436

One does not run a full node to view other people's transactions.

>>16271628
Never said they did.

>>16271695

Then you should learn how Bitcoin works.

>>16271299
Because I'll do whatever I facking want to.

>>16271703
lol okay I will. What was the entire point of this exchange?

>>16271392
>Why?
there are multiple difference sources that you can go to to verify your transaction so you do not need to run your node anymore unless you are an ultra geek

>>16271713

Again. If you're not holding Bitcoin on a full node, you're not really holding sound money. You're just holding something that looks like Bitcoin and *might* be accepted by a fiat off-ramp if you're lucky. Many people have lost thousands of Bitcoin this way. People have killed themselves because they couldn't attain self-custody. That's how fucking important this is.

>>16271299
I did but not now. I did it to help secure the network. I stopped when personal circumstances required me to. I will again in future - several of them

>>16271742

Why would you trust those sources?

This is crypto, not therapy. Trust nobody, verify everything.

>>16271789
there are literally hundreds of independent block explorers to verify your transaction now. im comfortable that they are all not working together

>>16271777
See >>16271410

I run one for the principles and to be a good guy and help the network that little extra bit, even if it doesn't give me anything directly

and also technically if you don't run your own node you can't technically be sure if you actually have your coins/transactions happened; you have to trust someone else to report it correctly

>>16271299
I don't run my own node
I don't write my own code
I don't jerk my own chode
I don't blow my own load
