Let me get this straight:

- For each transaction, each validation node gets an equal split of the transaction fee.
- One person could potentially control thousands or hundreds of thousands of nodes.
- For each node that gets a split of the transaction fee, a new record of said split of the transaction fee being distributed to the node needs to be recorded (i.e., for 10 nodes, you'd need 10 records of 1/10th of the transaction fee being distributed to each of the nodes).
- Suddenly, you have hundreds of KBs of information being recorded for each transaction, because the transaction fee is split between hundreds of thousands of nodes.
- Fail.

Good point. I'll have to think about this some more. There HAS to be a better way to randomly pick like 10 nodes that get to process the transaction.
