Thanks for the reply! That brings one simple but important question: what’s the point for anyone to become a node operator?
- As a searcher, can I include my own transactions in the blocks I build without sharing them with other node operators? If I can it’s definitely a good move for me, but that would bring the centralization problem back wouldn’t it? (with operators competing for orderflow and making private deals)
- If I can’t, then I’m just losing money by maintaining a node for no benefit?
