Nodes don't matter as 8/8/26 showed. Even if they did, a pruned node is pointless. You don't hold the chain data and therefore one drive failure means you lose your proof of chain and must redownload the IBD, which means trust again. Full node or you're LARPing.

I mean nodes on Blake2b. Running a node on SHA256 is indeed pointless, bortherline insane at this point.

I still think nodes without at least some hashpower behind them are not very useful even on Blake2B. And my point about pruned nodes still stands. A network of leechers is not a network.
