Come join the next Treasure Coast Bitcoiners meetup, this time for a beginner-friendly introduction to Bitcoin nodes, the software that enforces Bitcoin’s rules and keeps the network honest and decentralized. We’ll explain what a node does, how it’s different from mining, and how nodes work together to validate blocks and relay transactions across the peer-to-peer network.
The focus is on why running a node helps strengthens Bitcoin by adding independent verification, improving resilience, and reducing reliance on any single company or intermediary.
We’ll wrap up with a practical, non-technical overview of what it takes to run a node at home and the common setup options so you can decide if you want to contribute.
