I'm curious to know, is the operation of a cryptocurrency node accessible to any individual? I've heard that nodes are crucial to the network's security and functionality, but does that mean anyone with the right technical knowledge and resources can set up and maintain a node? I'm particularly interested in understanding the prerequisites and challenges that may arise when attempting to run a node, as well as the potential rewards or incentives for doing so. Could you elaborate on the accessibility of node operation for the general public?
