say in Q3 2022, main net 2.0 is launched and lets say there are close to 8000 people capable of running a node, but main net 2.0 onboarded only 1000 nodes, will the soft node program be still running for the remaining 7000?
We don’t have all those details yet. This process will be fluid and determined likely as we go based on he fast builds are completed and many other factors. We will have to wait for the team to tell us progress etc.
My understanding was that the ability to setup a mainnet 2.0 node will eventually be open to anyone, so there will be a selection process long term?
No selection process for when Mainnet goes live ....it will be an open public network
Mainnet 2.0 will not have a limit on how many nodes are onboarded other than the theoretical limit of how many 250k dag nodes there can be with the supply
Atleast intially. Basically you can keep horizontally scaling out the network without increasing the total supply of DAG by increasing the computational parameters / value of DAG and then lowering the DAG collateral required to operate a full node or a light node, thus increasing the total number of nodes possible without increasing the supply of DAG. Then like 20 years from now, in 2042, you have a tiny fraction of a DAG that equates to 1 DAG of computational space in 2022. This of course aligns very well with the inevitable ubiquity and lower cost of hardware as we progress to that point, lowering the barriers to entry to be a validator even further to the point every participant who interacts with the network can also be a local state validator by operating a light nodes. The diversity of hardware devices that are eligible / compatible will also increase over time and encourage a very wide distribution and decentralization of validators.
