I'm thinking most people don't use the original satoshi client Although lightweight clients look nicer, I'd prefer to run the satoshi client to support the network. Others should do the same  |

Others should do the same How does that support the network? If you're using lightweight clients like Multibit you're just backpacking off the people using the satoshi client. Running a full node helps protect the network. |

If you're using lightweight clients like Multibit you're just backpacking off the people using the satoshi client. from the stand point that you're not storing a copy of the blockchain on your own personal computer? I agree, but are we really at risk of losing the blockchain? The miners are validating it... |

One of the reasons why lots of nodes are important is redundancy. “It makes [the bitcoin network] ‘seem’ bigger, more robust and more decentralised, because there are more people uniting to run it. So there’s a psychological benefit.” - Hearn |
