			* Denial-of-Service Attacks: a bot-network of computers controlled by a hacker could overload the Lightning Network node and effectively make it inoperable for a period of time.

So, there is a benefit to the network and to the common good. Nodes hold funds so they increase the [[liquidity]] of the system. With higher [[liquidity]] higher amounts of funds can be sent through the Lightning network.

			Nodes can also charge [[fees]] for routing and hence earn money. See also [[Making money using Lightning]].
