Feb 24, 2017 at 16:03 comment added Akhil F true, but without PoW, its trivially easy to create a new block with an invalid state change. Thus I could create a a block where I send all the money from an exchange's wallet to my staked account, thus becoming the largest voter in the staked pool.

May 21, 2016 at 22:01 comment added studycrypto "If a light node wants to know the balance or contract state of a given account, it can request the value from other nodes in the network alongside the minimal subset of Patricia tree nodes that prove that the given key/value pair is actually in the state."
May 21, 2016 at 21:58 comment added studycrypto github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Block-Protocol-2.0 In Ethereum, a ''light node'' can be defined as a node that accepts block headers, and performs the verifications in (2) with the exception of the transaction and stacktrace trie hash verifications but does not perform the verifications in (4) and (6), similar to the headers-only verification that light nodes do in Bitcoin. Light nodes would thus store the state roots, and perhaps some portion of the state, but not the entire state.

May 21, 2016 at 21:26 comment added Akhil F how can a light node determine the weight of a blockheader without access to state?
