RE: NOTE: New information changes everything. Do not vote on the other post.Announcing the Steem-based IPO of Calibrae. UPDATE: see new post that uses vote counts
Can you briefly explain what exactly the seed nodes do, and are they the same as p2p nodes?
I want to help bring these issues to light, but still need a few gaps filling before I feel I have sufficient knowledge.
Other than seeds, how far wrong is this picture?

yeah, that's pretty much the structure, except I do intend to quickly move it towards where you cut out that steemit part between the clients and the rpc nodes - the RPC nodes will directly serve up the web application, as soon as I can make it that way.
There will then be many possible web access points, anyone can run, simply by hosting a simple, easy to install interface, and this interface will basically just keep a cache of all available RPC nodes, that are kept up to date, and randomly assign them (or maybe, better, chosen by the client side according to the RPC with the lowest ping).
There will never be a Calibrae corporation registration. RPC operators will, however, be free to run their own cluster systems, and register corporations, and get banking charters, if they can, so they can become direct fiat gateways.
Calibrae will remain fully decentralised, though as an organisation, centering around the database it lives on.
I approve, but still what are seed nodes? I don't understand their purpose, and can't locate the info!
Will you run condenser initially then, or never do so do you think? What about approaching the busy.org and chainbb devs, and just skipping condenser? No idea about allegiances. is the esteem creator (I forget who that is) a pre-miner who would be misaligned?
'seed node' is a node which is simply replicating the data as it comes in, and serving it back out on request to other nodes.
Yes, it will be running a fork of condenser, rebranded to the name Shimmer.
If good-karma wants in on the IPO he only has to make a note here. He is not a preminer, his account was created in July last year, well after the full public launch. He did a lot of genuine work though his beneficiary thing with the client was not very nicely done.
Thanks
