Please specify what you mean by "the nodes". As I've discussed in other comments, the whole "full node" concept is basically made up and absurd; the security and therefore decentralization of the network is provided by miners. The network is only truly "centralized" if a faction gains a sufficiently large portion of the hashpower to perform a 51% attack.


I went through and read your comments on full nodes, and I don't believe you have addressed the issue of UASFs nor have you addressed topics like privacy, trustlessness, and self determination. Most anyone who can afford to do hobby computing can run a full node. You miss the point of crypto networks unless you realize that the people are the network.
