I believe I have done my fair share of reading from various sources. Here comes my very newbie questions.
1. Who/what is considered a bitcoin node ?
I believe when my freshly installed Multibit software with a wallet opened, connected to Internet, that makes my laptop an active node? When I close Multibit, my laptop is no more a node? Ipads, smartphones with bitcoin wallets, are those nodes too?
2. Which is better/healthier to the Network? Having a wallet in my own laptop(serves as a node?), or simply open a web/online wallet?
I still have many questions, hope these basic ones can be answered first to sort things out for me.
Thanks in advance.
