I borrowed the “1-click node” terminology from John Woods, but “1-click nodes” understates the requirements for consensus participation. As I have discussed above, we need robust node management solutions that target different use cases:
- retail - single machine solution
- large stake pool operators - enterprise-grade node cluster solution
The retail scenarios you described are why we need robust, user-friendly node manager solutions for retail. The path to true decentralization is through retail running their individual nodes, not retail delegating their stake to large stake pool operators.
