It&#39;s just a number. The network determines if it is valid or not. &#xA;&#xA;A transaction is not part of the network. It&#39;s the data that the network relays and records. &#xA;&#xA;The nodes are the network. A bitcoiner participates in the network by running a node.&#xA;&#xA;They determine which rules are valid on their node.&#xA;&#xA;They don&#39;t ask for permission to spend because they broadcast their spend through the network from their node.&#xA;&#xA;Everyone else is asking a bitcoiner for permission to spend.</html></oembed>
