The danger being fewer full nodes and the p 2 p network being more prone to censorship and disruption . Nonmining full nodes , both legitimate and nefarious , are largely irrelevant , due to being ridiculously cheap to spin up . That ' s why Bitcoin is secured by PoW mining , and not PoN Proof of Node , pronounced Pone ~. If you can ' t acknowledge that hard forks are more risky than soft forks , then I have no interest in continuing this conversation . No I do not like your hat ! Goodbye . Goodbye . <| sep |> If you want to keep your mind closed that ' s fine , I won ' t do your research for you . Asking for evidence to support a claim is not analogous to keeping a closed mind . Quite the opposite , really . The guidelines of intellectualism demand that I ask for evidence to support a given conclusion . Not just voter suppression but voter purging as well . Vote purging is a big problem in general , I don ' t disagree . That said , I ' m doubting that it was done to help Clinton win the primary , especially in a state like Arizona where Republicans control the elections . It is probably coincidence that this happened after the DNC and the Clinton campaign were given access to Sanders voters files . Did this actually happen ?
