It's time to stop saying that running a Bitcoin node is "basically free".There are non-negligible costs to running full nodes, which are essential for true solo mining/block buildingand self custody, especially for people in developing countries.Run Knots + BIP-110 + DATUM
The cost-to-incentive ratio is what matters here. As Bitcoin appreciates, running a node becomes economicallyrational even at higher hardware costs for those with significant holdings. The concern is users with smallstacks -- priced into custodial trust before their stake is large enough to justify verification costs.
