EricFJ on Nostr: Murky indeed- your statement about the extremes is true of course but not very ...
Murky indeed- your statement about the extremes is true of course but not very practical. It doesn’t tell us much about influence without some measure of connectivity/flow routed by the nodes. The number of Knots nodes could be higher than 80% and not make a difference if the economic weight of the 20% was a lot more (as it almost certainly is). These types of measures give people either false hope or a reason to get the pitchforks out… because it confuses how the network really works (and has ALWAYS worked) without additional context.
