It's a sad fact that the total amount of (reachable)nodes have been going down for quite some months. I am happy to contribute with my full node and will surely continue doing so. It's a temporary solution bumping the minimum fee to 0.00005BTC per KB, but I would prefer to see this restriction being aimed at transactions below 0.001BTC. And everything above this can be sent without a fee if the person so wish.

Bitcoin Node Numbers Fall After Spam Transaction 'Attack'
The number of reachable nodes has declined further following an "attack" that overloaded the bitcoin network.
Last week, an unknown actor sent a deluge of spam that left bitcoin's nodes – the clients that store and relay transactions – with upwards of 88,000, or 1GB worth, waiting in their collective memory pool.
