Wall Street doesn't give a toss about decentralization. If it turns out the market doesn't either, eventually a competing hard fork will take Core's place.

Smallblockers want to maintain node decentralization by centralizing code development.

I don't see any way to decentralize code development. Competing protocols doesn't seem to be the answer.

everyone codes whatever feather they want

miners vote on the feathers they are ready and willing to accept

once >90% of miners are all accepting a specific feather it is turned on.

core is going to start using this method soon.

But even if 90% of the miners are mining something, it's the nodes that determine the longest valid chain. That's why they can't just fork off at will. Isn't it?

But it's damn cheaper to set up 1000 nodes than to run a mining farm. Any big farm that wanted to get control of the majority of nodes could temporarily set up thousands of them running the software of their choice. How many nodes would $50000 buy? That kind of money's small change to a big mining farm.

That must be where all them Classic nodes are coming from...
