Hi,
Can you please implement the ability to run a “normal node” which is **not a block producer** during the testnet and which does not require any stake to run during the testnet. _ **These nodes should not be eligible for genesis game/competition** _
It will create a more realistic testnet … otherwise everyone is a block producer and we are not testing the testnet to its full extent before launch.
the way block producing nodes interact with non block producing nodes is critical…

@dbriggsie in Enigma Discovery there are no non-block producing nodes similar to full nodes in Ethereum that are not miners
