I fail to see how oxen is decentralized when it requires 15,000 coins to set up a node.

Post Body

Why do I have to buy the coins and stake to support the network with a node? I liked the idea of session storing message data on a network of nodes temporally, but after digging into how to actually set up a node, it seems unlikely this thing is decentralized. There are very few members active in this community and with a high barrier to entry to begin a node screams that session and oxen are not as decentralized as they say.

I do like session more than signal because no phone number are required, but other than that, it might be just as centralized.
