Mechanic is a deluded clown. "Nodes have no incentive to relay tHe SpAm." Yes, they do. Because they will wind up in blocks, and your node will download and validate them anyway BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO in order to validate your own money. Enough with this delusional and imaginary nonsense pretending running a node is some altruistic service. That is a debunked nonsense meme. If you are running a node for any other reason than verifying your own transactions, you were sold a fairy tale. If you aren't using your node for that, cry, run something else, shut it down, no one who understands how Bitcoin actually works cares. A node not used for validating your own transactions is completely useless, and does nothing for the network besides provide relay bandwidth. View quoted note →
