Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

More nodes. Every delegate should provide as many seed nodes as possible and shareholders should cast votes for those who controls more than others.

short tutorial – how to setting up a node – would be useful for users who want to help IMO!

.. which, however, is just a denial of service and not disruptive for the network

Eclipse attack is a good opening move for a double-spending attack against a single merchant.

Provided by volunteers and delegates. I encourage everyone to help!

So, it's possible to add 153 seed nodes controlled by me and make it easy to do an eclipse attack? Neat...

Initially the clients connect to a random subset of seed nodes.

How are nodes added to the set?

so maybe a short tutorial – how to setting up a node – would be useful for users who want to help IMO!

Initially the clients connect to a random subset of seed nodes.
Then they acquire peers.
The desired number of connections is 20.

PS: delegates desired number of connections is 50 .
These values could be modified by the users at runtime.

What is BitShares network topology? Is it standard Bitcoin's "connect to 8 random peers"?
