I didn't say typical, I said every. Currently a raspberry pi on shitty adsl can run a full node. What's wrong with needing a high end pc and good connectivity to run a full node?
People that want to, can. People that don't want to, won't, no matter how low spec the machine you need. If nobody uses bitcoin, all the security in the world provides no value. The value of bitcoin is provided by people using bitcoin, and people will only use bitcoin if it provides value to them. Security is one aspect only. And the failure to understand that is what has led to the block size debate.

This failure is perfectly exemplified by the above statement. If a typical personal computer cannot run a node there is no security. e -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJY3uJ8AAoJEDzYwH8LXOFOrBoH/1VdXQObKZ2JPHL387Sd8qT4 zzWt8tKFD+6/uCS8re97h1lZcbwb3EzBOB1J15mJ3fqTOU/rPCitN+JZAMgpw/z9 NGNp4KQDHo3vLiWWOq2GhJzyVAOcDKYLsY8/NrHK91OtABD2XIq9gERwRoZZE4rb OPSjSAGvDK8cki72O7HpyEKX5WEyHsHNK/JmBDdTjlzkMcNEbBlYMgO24RC6x+UA 8Fh17rOcfGv6amIbmS7mK3EMkkGL83WmsgJKXNl4inI1R8z5hVKRqOFMPxmTDXVc dEHtw8poHOX1Ld85m0+Tk2S7IdH66PCnhsKL9l6vlH02uAvLNfKxb+291q2g3YU= =HPCK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
