It wasn't "my criteria". It's about what Bitcoin/blockchain networks are. That each node in the network re-validates and re-processes everyone's transactions.

Again, all the non-mining nodes do no processing here, they relay / route at best.

--snipped--

Stopped you there.

Of course non-mining full nodes process/validate. They validate that everything is in order/follows the rules BEFORE propagating/relaying.

Some miners don't even run their own nodes. Are you saying they don't process/validate?

I honestly can't tell if hv_ is simply ignorant or just trolling at this point. This is basic stuff that anyone who has been around for more than 5 minutes should be able to understand. The whole idea of running a full node is that you don't rely on trusting others like SPV users do. If full node software wasn't validating the info it is receiving, you would have to blindly trust that it was correct. Maybe that's how faketoshi vision works, heh.

And as the popular idiom around here goes: "Don't trust. Verify."
