By the way, there's a common misconception about our full nodes (I explained that in one of my Steem Pressure posts):

Importantly, a full node means here something different than in the Bitcoin realm, where Bitcoin full node is pretty much something that a Steem consensus node can do.
Here, on Steem, the word “full” doesn’t refer to anything related to the blockchain - it refers to the fully featured set of APIs enabled within steemd.
