Learning the fundamentals of the protocol, and the technology is an uphill battle, but one that seems worse climbing.&#xA;&#xA;From my narrow understanding, what I’ve gathered is that the amount of people contributing to mining process is more important receiving returns from the process. &#xA;&#xA;The through line I’ve heard from people expressing this sentiment is that this helps secure the network through de-centralizing the mining process even more so, and not to expect any return. If anything expect to pay a fee and consider that as a small price for a securing the network further.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;As I said before, I am not technically savvy. Before Bitcoin I had issue managing files let alone a seed phrase.  I have not implemented any of these node mining protocols, or bip 110, currently running a standard mode on bitcoin core. &#xA;&#xA;Would you mind explaining what you mean by “faulty” nodes? It sounds like you have a complete opposite opinion and I’m curious why that is as a newbie.&#xA;&#xA;Appreciate the patience in advance </html></oembed>
