Title: What is the relationship between miners and nodes?
Post by: IveBeenBit on June 04, 2012, 03:59:11 PM
Question is in the thread topic. I see "nodes" referenced in many posts. How are they different from miners?

Anyone participating in the network is a "node". That's a generic term.
The term miners applies only to those trying to generate blocks.
