One node cannot tell if another node has a lot of monetary velocity on it, or not. <br/><br/>Now to correct myself on the *<br/>What I would definitely agree on is that nodes that only listen, and do not have outgoing connections to other nodes are not very useful, and may as well not be there in terms of greater consensus of the network. It’s like having someone in a room that disagrees and does not speak out about it. <br/><br/>Those “listening only” nodes I would see in the same way as what you are describing, but I don’t think they are the same as an economic node, am I right in saying that?<br/><br/>I very much appreciate the discussion too. Not many Bitcoiners in person near to me, so online is the only form of coms I have for now! 2026-07-28T20:16:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9eaxva6ut2n0dkl93wahut5y73e97y00v2y2jqg3xlvkdxs0j6tqzyp8t4m3gxy8s4988fghm9564y35euem54lefqrmdhnlkwry3vl485zljym2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv4vxtyrt8t9vl9r8p7x0luv76d2lxqjydkk6yw50fngd0mz3h4qcjg57a6'>nevent1q…57a6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I genuinely don’t see how this is the case, and would like you ask for help in understanding.<br/><br/>I’ve thought about it a little in the past, about whether a node is a node, or if some are more important than others, but I can’t come to a satisfactory conclusion.<br/><br/>if 10 000s of nodes enforce a change on the hobbyist side, but some key nodes don’t enforce it (such as from miners) then I think that the node count will win. This is because the miners have more to loose than the hobbyists, and so will probably match their node software to what majority of the network is on, where they are least likely to mine rejected blocks.<br/>Whether I am right or wrong with this statement, I can atleast see points from both sides, so it makes sense to me as an arguable point.<br/><br/>But in the case of the 10 000s nodes vs “economic nodes”… I really don’t see how a node that has more Bitcoin associated to it has any say.<br/>It’s not like they have any more connections than other nodes, they are the same as any other node on the network so far as I understand.<br/><br/>This is what leads to my confusion really… how is a bitcoin node even classified as “economic”?<br/><br/>Perhaps I am misunderstanding what has been termed economic. It does not necessarily mean to have more Bitcoin associated to it.<br/>As I type this, maybe it’s more about public nodes that many people look to? Like Seth for privacy’s node, or block streems node, coinbase node. Would those be concidered economic nodes as they likely influence a large host of users who don’t/can’t run their own nodes for services?<br/><br/>Is there something else I am missing ? Some influence I am not taking into account? 2026-07-26T19:37:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspx749usu4gdmhkwrp6hpj8xkr5ewjs5kz68r5488jcc4xnlul53czyp8t4m3gxy8s4988fghm9564y35euem54lefqrmdhnlkwry3vl485sgu5jt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9fxncg5ept9xfsjyhc6qa905sh30a5vec5d8fcfs0gza2ks9yrmcauzdwt'>nevent1q…zdwt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is the client called Polaroids?
