Could you please write for the ignorants on steemit, like me, what are nods, why should they be publicly available, why witnesses do something with nodes and so on. I can understand a lot, but woeshhh it went over my head, and looking for info on nodes now.

Ok, but i understood that witnesses were running nodes. How come with 50 witnesses we aren't completely covered for both?

There are three types of nodes (all of which run the same software but in different configurations).
There is also HiveMind that can act as a partial full node and is different than a typical steemd node.
All three run the witness functionality called consensus
