But what spreadcoin wallet is even installed like a true full node? Has anyone here installed a true FULL NODE on his pc, I doubt it.
All running and synced Spread wallets are full nodes. Just means they each have a complete and up to date blockchain.
Every wallet syncs with the rest of the network or it would be useless.
But my question is,
how does my wallet help other wallets sync. My understanding has always been that usually you need to do some tweaking in the conf file and your router before your wallet can truly act like a full node with many in/out connections.
Hasn't bitcoin only got something like 10k full nodes worldwide? Maybe I am mixing up things a little bit here.
I experienced the same thing with BitMessage by the way. If I just install it the way it comes, it will not run perfectly, but stay in a kind of semi connected way, allowing for the download of the blockchain and transmitting of my messages, but not really helping at all when it comes to spreading the blockchain to other nodes. Right? It needs router and conf adjustments to be able to do that.
I assume it's the same thing with all blockchain/wallet related software. But it depends what firewall/router configuration you have.
And that's where Masternodes come in which serve as full fledged high powered servers, and not just wallets.
