You can run a full node on AWS in a couple of minutes, they've a managed Blockchain service that allows you to create an eth node in literally a few click. Not sure what's infeasible for you, but to me that sounds pretty reasonable. If you've the skills just download geth and run it yourself in your own hardware. There are people who do this on a daily basis to mine eth and they're not hackers.

Not a full node, a fast-sync trusting third party node. I doubt anyone is able to sync a full node from genesis block anymore.

  Is possible in theory, if you don't have the resources to do so is another problem.

    sha256 is only 256 bits, so it's obviously easy to solve right? i suppose life is more satisfying on the surface, when you only need to argue against straw-men, but surely that's a ticking time bomb?

        one invokes straw-man and can't recognize when it's being pointed out by example of another, more ridiculous straw-man. sigh. just stop and think for a second. you don't need to go down this road. drop the initial straw-man and try asking a question if you don't understand what's being argued.

        The beginning of the path to transcending the invocation of strawmen, is to identify your own strawmen.

        so why don't you? if you're unable to walk back the thread, i'll remind that you were the one who started straw-maning by assuming that i think chainsize alone is the problem with syncing a full node. stop making assumptions and start asking questions.

        The irony deepens. Walk back the thread yourself and notice my opening is a question. You replied with a strawman disguised as a question instead of answering it.
        keymone 5y ago
        ah yes, the "i only asked a question!" defense. immediately followed by "your question was dishonest!" hypocrisy. have a nice day.
