It’s not just the nodes I question, but the transactions. Putting enough transactions in from a bad actor can help identify other transactions. I’m not super up to speed on how they make their mining templates either.
I probably should have said that it can not easily remain decentralized. I believe because of the flexible block size in monero, it doesn’t provide good incentives for miners. If it was used a lot, I think the blockchain size could grow very rapidly. Ultimately I don’t think the rewards to those running the infrastructure are good enough. Bitcoin pays more when demand is high, monero pays less by allowing the block size to grow. But I’m not comparing the two. I am concerned that monero isn’t achieving what it intends to achieve, privacy.
When I have synced monero nodes in the past, it didn’t work to my satisfaction. Call that an opinion.
