The node in the context of blockchain and computer networks refers to a device or computer that participates in a network. Here is a simple definition:

Node (in blockchain):

A node is a computer that connects to the blockchain network to help store, share, and verify data or transactions.

Types of nodes:

Full node - Stores the entire history of the blockchain and independently verifies all transactions.

Light node (or lightweight client) - Stores only a part of the blockchain and relies on full nodes for data.

Mining node - A node that performs computations to verify and add new blocks (in proof-of-work blockchain).

Real-world example (Ethereum Classic):

If you run a full ETC node, your computer downloads the entire Ethereum Classic blockchain and helps maintain the security and decentralization of the network.

#What is a node and how can you make money from it?

A node is a network node that stores a copy of the blockchain and participates in running it.

How can you earn:

On a verifying node - You participate in verifying the blockchain and receive a reward.

On a master node - You ensure the stability of the network and receive a fixed income.

On RPC nodes, you provide access to other projects and developers.

To set up a node, you need technical knowledge.
