. . . a few years ago we would never have imagined that if a node fell or something like that, it would affect us or that if the internet went we would have a problem and see today . . .

So much has changed so fast, and for the better. Like going from Beta to Stable! It's a sight to behold! The more widely distributed and decentralized the network, the lesser the potential impact of any given individual failure, which, in truly widely distributed conditions, really does only amount to a proverbial "blip" as the entire ecosystem continues forward with not-so-much as noticing an isolated error message (as far as the network as a whole is concerned). No worries about those individual failures at all! And the economic viability is decided on the individual level too! It's a complete win-win. A wonder to behold! Did I say that already? 😃

Just got to get the specs and HowTo docs out there so interested people can give it a go - I'd recommend it if only for the learning experience!
