Starik, if someone were to run a full node on windows and try to become a delegate, it would be pointless. As soon as they became a delegate and were active and started missing blocks, they would just get voted out.
If this is true and the network became only 101 delegates then this is very bad because it could be stopped by simple ddos attack. Cry

A few points.

First, stasDelegates 1,2,4,5,6 and 8 are below 25% uptime and still dropping.  They've obviously been offline for some time now and still haven't been voted down.  We've got six new standby delegates (cryptiNeo,starick69, btc, Intrinsic1, Intrinsic2 and China) waiting to get votes and replace them.

Second, I totally agree about the vulnerability of Crypti in its current form to DDoS attacks.  As I have discussed before, one solution is to split Top Delegate communications with Lite clients and their communications with each other onto separate IP addresses.  Top Delegates should have their own darknet where only they know the IP addresses being used for communications to new forge new blocks.
