No disagreement here.\n\nI just wanted to remind that there're actually much more running nodes\n*already* and maybe converting those hidden nodes to publicly reachable\nnodes may be way easier than attracting fresh instances.\n\nTo the idea of bundled core with SPV clients - it won't improve anything,\nin my opinion. SPV wallets are not running long-term (maybe Multibit team\nhas any better stats) so blockchain catching will turn the computer to be\nunusable everytime user starts the wallet; that's exactly the reason why\npeople choose SPV wallets over full blockchain wallets.\n\nNot saying that SPV clients usually aren't reachable from outside, which\nturns the topic back to my ideas about motivating users to expose their\nexisting instances over Internet.\n\nMarek\n\nOn Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 10:35 PM, Wladimir \u003claanwj at gmail.com\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 10:12 PM, slush \u003cslush at centrum.cz\u003e wrote:\n\u003e\n\u003e\u003e Maybe there're other ideas how to improve current situation without needs\n\u003e\u003e of reworking the architecture.\n\u003e\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e Nothing I've proposed here would require larger changes to the\n\u003e architecture then were already planned.
