The peer-to-peer network is more vulnerable to low level network attack, than the ever-discussed 51% hashing attack.

You can help, by running a full node that accepts incoming connections.

this * 1000

Oh, why not introduce some incentives to encourage running a full node then? If not, then won't the number of full nodes just continue to decrease as the blockchain grows?

Could you comment on the incentives to maintain full nodes described here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_Stake

I would appreciate more feedback.

I have been running a full node, and will continue to do so. I don't need any monetary incentive, and obviously I am not alone.
