Great video thanks! Yeah I have similar questions as skreep_. Above all, I would like the full node phones to be able to validate everything, I mean so they can reject or help protecting the network in an eventual user activated soft fork. I may be misunderstanding zkp and utreexo. As long as my phone/POS can do what my home node can in terms of consensus power, that would be great!

You did a great job speaking Ben! I watched in full and enjoyed your presentation.

you talked about basically storing full nodes in the cloud utilizing ZKPs.. I'm curious, how dependent is this on a cloud storage server? also, would this be rendering properly built physical full nodes optional or would these cloud nodes be in some way bouncing off of nodes that are properly storing each block on an ssd?

I have envisioned a future where some company comes along and designs a simple open source Point of Sale terminal very similar to what most debit machines appear as now but they would have a proper full node built into them and full on lightning support.

It would decentralize the ever living shit out of the network, if every PoS terminal in every restaurant in every city was verifying every single block. Now I'm trying to wrap my head around if that would even be necessary given some of the implications of your talk.

I'm no dev nor am I too familiar with how Eth does well anything it does hahah
