The objective benefits of running a full-node

[odolvlobo]

The primary purpose of running a full-node is to protect the integrity of transactions involving the operator of the full node. I would like to see an analysis of the objective benefits of running a full-node. I feel that too many people underestimate its value, but that position is hard to support that without knowing the actual value.

Also, it seems to me that the ideal situation would be to run a full-node, and have the ability to connect all my light/SPV wallets (airbitz, mycelium, electrum, etc.) to it. How feasible would that be?

At least in the Android wallet, in Settings, you can put the IP address of your trusted node.

I might be weird, but for me the primary purpose of being part of a p2p network is contributing to it. I keep my torrent client up when I'm not downloading anything.
