Abstract(in English) The purpose of this research is to show that the full node operator of the P2P type system in the block chain can also be one of the parties to governance. We confirmed by simulation that the function of the block chain causes a kind of phase transition depending on the connection structure between nodes and the ratio of software versions that drive the nodes. Therefore, it was confirmed that operating a node of a specific version of software intentionally functions as a vote with control. We also conducted experiments on a full node cluster with 90 nodes for the purpose of preventing hard fork by SegWit 2X.
