You are telling me anunymint was the real anonymint?
He confirms that to me via Crypto.cat, so yes.
I would have taken him more seriously if I knew. Maybe even read some of those huge essays on the wall observer.
I always liked that guy back in the early days. You would? Personally, I would not take someone that seriously if he believes that non-mining nodes are not needed for the network, and that only mining nodes matter. I would be very cynical to be frank.
As of non-mining nodes issue, it is not about underestimating them, it is about the importance of mining nodes which is being denied, intentionally and hypocritically by people who are in charge here to hide the insane situation with Bitmain with an anti-Bitmain gesture... disgusting.
Who said mining nodes were a joke? All nodes and any node are important in the network, non-mining nodes or mining nodes. From the node's perspective, they are only fellow nodes and does not care or know that it is a "mining node" or not.
