if anything the barrier to entry on running a full node should be raised to make it easier to hear the voice of Serious participants, participants that matter like bitpay, bitfinex, or tiger direct.

Do you even realize what you're saying? Were you already corrupted by the people on that other (horrible) forum? The option to run a node should always remain as cheap as possible.

this is not somthing new i picked up from the other forum
i never expected that devs would make such an effort to keep node requirements low enough to run on a raspberry pi.
in fact i was lead to believe that full node centralization was natural evolution
this was the creator's vision as well.

Indeed. I'm not sure how you thought such a view would be received, adamstgBit, but even as someone who supports a larger blocksize, that's just plain wrong in my view. "Participants that matter"? That sounds equally as horrid as the elite-chain fans who think that only the whales and early adopters matter. The voice that should carry the most weight is the one talking the most sense, not just whoever happens to be a big company.

some node centralization Vs settlement layer prohibitively to expensive to use by everyone
i'll pick full node centralization....

its not like not running a node will prevent anyone from participating in the development or discussion
i'm just point out that by keeping requirements low, makes node count MEANINGLESS
just look at classic nodes, if we go by that metric classic is the favored implementation.
if it cost 1000$ a year to run a node, node count would actually mean somthing.

clearly there is a balance to be stuck between keeping node requirements low and allowing the main chain to grow.

1MB isn't it.

segwit + 1MB is a good start but I want MORE!

also i want to feel as tho the devs are on the same page, they will do everything they can to allow mainchain to grow.

you need to seek someone intelligent who can explain these things to you. clearly you have failed at educating yourself properly. now everytime you open your mouth you look like an idiot.
