This would require that nodes prove they are in fact running a node (which is surprisingly difficult, especially when payments would instinctive people to fake running a node). This would also mean that Bitcoin would no longer mine via PoW (at least not exclusively) but rather would be mined via PoN (proof of node) or a combination of PoN/PoW. It is said that if Bitcoin were to be forked so that it no longer uses PoW (among other things) then it would no longer be considered Bitcoin

Everything in this post is incorrect.

Why do you say so?
