Transaction

j"1LAnZuoQdcKCkpDBKQMCgziGMoPC4VQUckM}<div class="post">The design outlines a lightweight client that does not need the full block chain.&nbsp; In the design PDF it's called Simplified Payment Verification.&nbsp; The lightweight client can send and receive transactions, it just can't generate blocks.&nbsp; It does not need to trust a node to verify payments, it can still verify them itself. <br/><br/>The lightweight client is not implemented yet, but the plan is to implement it when it's needed.&nbsp; For now, everyone just runs a full network node. <br/><br/>I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less.&nbsp; It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in.&nbsp; The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.<br/><br/>At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.</div> text/html
