Jameson,
I like your thinking about the implicit reward of full nodes. It was not =
perceived as sufficient by many, hence full node counts were falling.
This might reverse now as the implicit value of validating yourself =
however becomes higher in a heterogenous environment, that is if there =
are hard forks in the wild.
Actually pooled mining became an option through the homogenous nature of =
the network.
