RE: Why aren't more of the top witnesses running/supporting full nodes?
Not sure why my node is not on there:
appbasetest.timcliff.com
It is currently syncing though, as I am in the process of upgrading it to use RocksDB.
I am not sure what a node exactly is and I am a little bit surprised that so many people know it.
I am not a programmer, developer, witness or something like that, just an ordinary, regular user.
I simply like to say thank you to the witnesses for their work!
Short and easy version, a node is what runs the blockchain, full nodes run the entire blockchain.
They are like the engine of a car.
Thanks for this explanation! It is really short and easy.
I have read some sentences about the topic since writing my comment above and @pradeep.sidd68 wrote 5 hours ago that "Nodes that fully verify all of the rules of block chain are called full nodes...
Full nodes ensure the perfection and accountability of block chain transactions.. which not widely understood."
Thanks to both of your explanations, now I have a very basic, brief knowledge about what a node and a full node is.
