one entity (the supplier) hosting all of these and in full control, is defeating the purpose of why nodes are suppose to exist.

3 words
Decentralized public ledger.

the supplier is trying to centralise the ledger.. even if he puts them on different ports and IP addresses, its all still in one single physical location with one single physical controller.

you mean a year  

but you have to make it easier  

Morblias is actually helping out people for free to make things easy. But, I doubt, how far a node provides extra support for the network ? Nodes will ultimately relay a Tx, but miners are responsible to include it in a block. We already have enough nodes. Mining should be more distributed. We are having polarization in the mining front.

p.s. Probably some better version of Abe will help in growing more API services too, which is required.

My computer uses a full node but it's nice to see a community project to have more nodes around
One of the real concerns with Bitcoin is the lack of incentive to build nodes but if you can name it then who knows some people might go for that idea haha.

The project wants to integrate a variety of provider pools to permit a more geographically distributed network. Linode and DigitalOcean have locations in North America, Singapore, the Netherlands, Japan and the United Kingdom. Weinberger has plans to integrate Google Compute Engine, which would add a few more locations to the list.

This is nice though since we need more Africa nodes.

It's not "adopt a node", it's "fund a node". I have a full node running and would love for someone to adopt mine
