A full RPC node contains all STEEM blocks and several databases, in which e.g. account-related transactions, followers foran account, all posts of a blog from an account, .... are stored. Without nodes, the steemit site would be down, there would be no bid-bots and services as steemauto.com or GINAbot would not work.
All nodes have support for https://. For nodes with websocket support (WSS is yes), wss:// has to put in front. All which have websocketsupport are checked twice (1x https and 1x wss).
The node version was read out from the server itself, and when this was not possible (node did not respond) a question mark is shown instead.
