Bitcoin Q&A: Node Compatibility, Lightning, and Incentives
What is the difference between reachable (listening) vs. non-reachable (non-listening) nodes? Will there be incentive schemes to run nodes? Are nodes that use older versions of the Bitcoin Core software backwards-compatible? What are the differences between Bitcoin and Lightning nodes and wallets?
Chapters
0:00 Is there a way we can see the number of Bitcoin nodes or downloads, worldwide or per country?
0:48 What is the difference between reachable and non-reachable nodes?
3:41 Why did the number of Bitcoin nodes drop after March 2018?
5:51 Since the Bitcoin network highly depends on fully validating nodes, was there or will there ever be an option that will implement incentives for people to run full nodes, for Bitcoin or any other altcoin?
7:58 Are nodes backwards-compatible? If I have Bitcoin Core 0.14.x, and the latest version is 0.17.x, can I still function or am I forced to upgrade?
10:41 What are the important differences to know about using Lightning wallets, compared to a regular Bitcoin wallet? Are there differences?
15:33 What is the difference between a Lightning node and a wallet?
These questions are from the MOOC 10.5 session and the December monthly subscriber session, which took place on October 5th and December 15th 2018 respectively.
