"crypto node mining with stake option" conflates two mutually exclusive consensus
models. While both mining (PoW) and staking (PoS) are methods for nodes to participate
in a blockchain's consensus, they operate underdistinct and fundamentally different
protocols:
Mining involves computational competition and electricity expenditure.
Staking involves capital lock-up and probabilistic selection.
In networks governed by PoW, there is no staking involved. Conversely,
in PoS-based systems, mining does not occur.
The two mechanisms are philosophically and operationally incompatible
in a single-layer protocol.
There are hybrid models (e.g., PoW/PoS systems like Decred), but these involve alternating
or blended consensus roles—not a node that simultaneously mines and stakes in the traditional sense.
