Hello deon,

de> According to what?

Almost four decades of tradition in what was designed as and basically still is a peer to peer network.

Pvt nodes break with the principle of peer to peer connectivity. Therefore they were never considered fully fledged nodes. They are client only instead of the client/servers that fully fledged nodes are. You can not build a network with client only nodes.

Syops from Pvt nodes are not allowed to vote in most election. If only because it os difficult to confirn that they ectually exist and are not just the figment of imagination of the NC.


Cheers, Michiel
