Is the smartphone still a kind of node? I mean, does the smartphone add anything to the 'security' of nxt when it is running a lightweight client?

No.

We conclude: This forging smartphone marketing thing is kinda bs. I could state that my penis is forging too, because I leased my forging power. The only difference, for example to BTC, is, that we can run a lightweight working client on our smartphones to make transactions, without the forging (and thus network securing) function.

Bitcoin is at 7 TPS ...smartphones can easily handle that....I think high end smartphones (Note 3 or Iphone 5S) can easily handle 1000 TPS....if you have fast internet.


Do you know for a fact that a NXT forging node can operate without having a local blockchain copy of 300 GB?  I don't know that, and nobody has told me that.  Somebody tell me that.  And my smartphone doesn't have 300 GB of storage.

There is a way to connect external storage to the smartphone but it really doesn't matter because  we are NO WHERE near 10 TPS much less 100 TPS much much much less 1000 TPS.
