@aral@lightcoin@romeroabelleira depends how you use the terms. In certain circles "decentralized" means fully decentralized. -

@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls@ioptio I find that overly-complicated. Maybe we need a term for “every node is equal” -
@aral@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls admin control over nodes is the key difference between distributed and decentralised -
@ioptio Ah, got the puppet analogy now :) Agree. Your terminology &@dsearls’s are reversed. +@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira -
@aral@ioptio@dsearls@lightcoin@romeroabelleira note that the graphic that you referenced is from Paul Baran 1964: http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_memoranda/2006/RM3420.pdf … -
@ryaneshea@ioptio@lightcoin@romeroabelleira Yes, sorry, I saw it via@dsearls so lazily reference that post :)
