Topic: What are the nodes the wallet is connecting? - page 2. (Read 844 times)
What about these other coins like litecoin. When I am running litecoin-qt am I also a "node"? What are nodes you have to put to your config files? Some other wallets?
Traditionally, each bitcoin user would run a node (bitcoin-qt has both node and wallet functionality).
Newer wallets (Armory, Electrum etc.) work without storing a full copy of the blockchain, and thus are not nodes of the bitcoin network.

Could somebody explain for a newbie like me what actually are the nodes my wallets are connecting? Are all other wallets also nodes or are there some special servers somewhere or how does this actually work?
