Since you can only connect to listening nodes having port 8333 open is a good thing for the network.
If your listening your a node
If your not listening your an endpoint

Sure, if A connects to B, then both can exchange data. But B would never have allowed the incoming connection unless the port was open in its firewall.
You're only supporting if you have port 8333 open so others can contact you. Otherwise you're just leaching.
This I did not know...
I kind of thought that this might be the case.

My question is, is there much point in having multiple computers on the same local network all running a wallet?
with the current size of the bitcoin network, there's no need to specifically run a bitcoin node to maintain the network.Fair enough. I assumed this was the case anyway.

Thoughts?
I know its not a major issue or anything, just curious really.

So running the bitcoin wallet 24/7 is good for the network, right? It makes since because this is a P2P network and if all users closed their wallets the network would not exist.
