Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, initiated a discussion on Warpcast about long-term network status nodes (i.e. permanent communities rather than temporary gatherings) and asked participants what features they would like such nodes to have. User millie-x proposed the idea of establishing a sovereign/independent legal system and judiciary, to which Vitalik responded and asked how such a legal system would improve the lives of those residing within the network status node.
