In this part of the spec it says that you shouldn’t be connecting to an external node.
Running a full node on our platform is a rather involved process, generally requiring special hardware, staking and constantly updating your code to retain your network access. What’s more a node is randomly assigned to a network shard and can only act as a client to other shards.
Generally the way people are going to be interacting with the system is using a client which talks to any node. This client allows the construction of transactions and verifying cryptographically what transactions have actually been run.
Could you talk me through what exactly this rule is trying to prevent, so I can work out how best to apply it to our system?
