i like the proposal that any node keeps some configurable amount of transactions (say 10% to be VERY conservative)
edit: afaik it should be enough if the hole blockchain is anywhere (bitcoin foundation?) to download from. with -rescan it should do the same? please correct me...
No, the people arguing against this hardfork do indeed have some valid concerns. We don't want one or a few centralized sources to store archival or reference full historical nodes for us to bootstrap pruned nodes or partial DHT based nodes from.
Personally, I would want a large distribution of Full (non pruned ) nodes on a wide range of ASNs and controlled by many different competing groups of people with different interests.
We definitely do not want a central organization like a government or TBF controlling this.
The mere fact that we will be increasing the blocksize limit doesn't mean we have to sacrifice the values we share with the people against this hard fork.
The question is how many would be sufficient to secure the network?
P.S... While I applaud TBF attempt at addressing our concerns with the lack of full nodes with this program -
