Yes, the importance of running full, non-mining, validating nodes which some Bitcoin Cash people say "do not matter".

the importance of realising legacy nodes are not full validation nodes. and so you can argue all you like about backward compatibility. but code is code rules are rules and the current dataset of the blockchain is NOT in a format that is compatible with legacy nodes. and so needs bridging nodes to filter/translate th data into pidgeon english to an acceptabl level that legacy nodes ignore the issues. but then th data legacy nodes then hold cant be relayed out as part of the whole network.

What are these "bridging nodes" you keep repeating? Do you mean the regular Segwit nodes that "talk" to the non-Segwit nodes that can "talk" in the old protocol they know? I am confused. If you can point your readers to a Github repository of the "bridging nodes" that would be good. Thanks.

also you do realise that both ver and craig wright are not devs.. so while i shout out DEV problems. you continue to want to just scream social drama about faces that dont control the code..
take a step back from the social drama of the kardashians.

The "drama" that they want to continue by using propaganda. Roger Ver and Craig Wright should be thrown out of the Bitcoin Cash community, and the developers should try to make the coin better on its own technical merit. Do you agree?

lastly. if a 51% attack was going to cause change. then how come segwit didnt defacto change at 51%
(because it needs nodes to accept a pool offering a different format)

What 51% "attack" do you mean?
