[Rakin343]

In a tweet today, Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz rejected arguments by Jerry David Chan that Bitcoin home nodes do not matter to the Bitcoin network, saying “miners won’t mine blocks node operators won’t pay them for.”
“Nonsense. You can refuse to accept any tokens rewarded to miners in that block. Miners won’t mine blocks node operators won’t pay them for,” Schwartz tweeted.However, Schwartz responds by noting that it is irrelevant what exchanges do, as the true purpose of home nodes is for users to decide who they interact with on the network. Furthermore, he notes that with the home node, users can ensure that those who do not meet their criteria do not interact with them.https://cryptonews.net/11748587/?utm_source=CryptoNews&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=shared
