Topic: does the owner of a full node earn something (Read 134 times)
You may also make money running a full node if you use it to run a mining pool. This probably won't work with BTC, since you would have to attract quite a few people to make it profitable, and many miners won't go to a pool with low hash rate. However, you could start running a pool that mines other alts.
with bitcoin, no. however, if you lock your BTC into payment channels on the lightning network, you can collect fees when your node is used to route transactions. fees are much lower than on bitcoin's blockchain, though. so unless you're a very well-connected node, you probably won't make much in fees.
you don't necessarily need a full node for that. lightweight nodes (like electrum or mycelium) and even online wallets like blockchain.info allow you to manually set lower fees. it's third party services like exchanges that really screw people on fees.
He retains control of his transactions, and this could enable him to save a bit on fees.

Aside from helping the network, running a full node (bitcoin) is not profitable.
There are other coins where you could run a Masternode and you could earn money by staking coins though.
