The benefits of non mining fully validating nodes to the network are greatly exaggerated to say the least. They only thing they really do is help support SPV.
Absolute nonsense which can only be spread by centralizing agents.
Thanks for bringing that paper to my attention Lauda. Thoroughly debunking it will be a delight just like I
trashed the SPV myths and the LN myths.
Both of your articles are the laughing stock of any Bitcoin developer (besides the few BU/Jihan paid ones who are malicious actors anyways).

I am not even in that channel. Why are you trying to defame my name? Who is paying you to do this? I do not trust you.
as for the graphic of statistics lauda has pasted several times.. does he even know maths to actually check before pasting
EG
blocks 0.5mb.....graphic shows 6.2gb daily traffic.............. (facepalm)
..........
hint: there are only 144 blocks a day you dont even need a calculator to do the maths (hint: number in graphic is out by 86 multiples)
You have no idea how Bitcoin works. Who are you to judge anything? Block size * number of blocks per day != bandwidth total spend per day. Any idiot should know this by now.
Strangely enough, it is always the people with zero contributions to this community, the code, development, nor build process (et. al.) that try to centralize Bitcoin and claim they know their stuff.
