It's not a bad solution. It's actually a good solution to give a choice to the free market wills.
So, spamming network with hundreds of XT nodes on distributed cloud-servers is free market will?
The same as supporting free speech with blocking Tor IPs ?
If you really want to vote do it with a node.
Yes, there's absolutely nothing wrong if a single person adds a few hundreds "votes" with rented cloud-servers
I may only suggest you renting a decent botnet to add 10K more votes.
Are this "votes" also invalid in your opinion?
I never heard somebody complaining about somebody running more than one full node.
Core nodes don't vote, they just work and serve.
But some mates started talking about "voting" with nodes, which is just absurd. Are they pretending that machines have the right to vote for things that can affect people ?
These cloud nodes only create illusion that XT is gaining popularity. There are 14% of these nodes, but XT's real hashing power is less than 0.1%
Any person(s) that would try to manipulate others based on "fake" nodes is shady in my book. The question is, what are they trying to gain here? I'll stick with Core.
