![]() ![]() If you want to help increase the confirmation time of the network, send 0 value transactions thereby doing PoW for two other transactions on each send. ![]() A large enough tangle will make the network secure enough that the coordinator will not need to be relied on for security. The greater the number of nodes, the more difficult the tangle becomes to penetrate with malicious nodes that are connected in a way that they can affect the approval of transactions. Nodes are also encouraged to keep their address's private. Nodes only accept transactions from two-way neighbours. But nodes do not just accept transactions from anyone. If it were possible to discover and connect to all network nodes, it would be easy to sybil the network in this way. In order for an attacker to have his malicious transaction accepted by the network, he would have to have his nodes connected into the tangle in such a way that his approvals are seen by a large percentage of nodes. A transaction is accepted with a higher level of confidence, the more approvals it recieves. For an introduction to our prototype, please read here. Light node As a light node you do not store the Tangle and you don't need any neigbours. The prototype implementation IOTA DevNet 2.0 is where the IOTA Foundation's Research Department implements the IOTA 2.0 modules in a full node software in order to study and evaluate their performance. More nodes increase security by approving transactions. Full node A full node stores the whole Tangle, it needs neighbours to broadcast transactions to and you need a static IP address or any other static address so that your neighbours can broadcast transactions to you. ![]() To increase confirmation time, transaction volume needs to increase because the sender of the transactions will be doing the needed PoW for pending transactions. More nodes increase the security of the network. So I'm 100 milestones behind the tangle, because of this shit. One is on the test network and breaks my transactions. It restarts the node after an upgrade and everything is fine. They have to be in sync the whole time.Īnother issue, which I currently experience, is the upgrade process and neighbor-sync. Also getting new transactions can be a huge act for them. So, the login and attachment of a address takes a lot of time on these nodes. I guess they also using this full-nodes to send the withdraws. We don't know how many they get, but in case of bitfinex, it must be hundreds of thousands. And these nodes have a huge issue with handling all these light-nodes. The issue is more that the most people only connect to a few full-nodes. For me, this is beneficial because I can be sure that my full node is running instead of using some other node that might or might not be down. Could be faster, but is not that bad as many people experience. A full node is a node that acts as a discovery node allowing transactions sent by light clients to be faster submitted to the rest of the tangle (and thus verified faster). The most people are not struggling with the performance of the tangle itself. Actually this doesn't help to increase the TPS. The Full Node itself does not store the full transaction history of the tangle, but only the current state of the tangle. ![]()
