Dec 19, 2017 at 13:14 comment added user3223162 I have accepted your answer, even though the incentive questions remain unanswered. It might be a good idea to edit my question not to include these issues and ask a separate question.
Dec 19, 2017 at 13:13 comment added Daniel F Then there are also swarm nodes, which contain only a segment of the tangle.

Dec 19, 2017 at 13:06 comment added Daniel F That was an answer on full nodes. Full nodes only contain the full tangle from the moment a snapshot was made to the present. Permanodes contain no snapshots, they have all tx ever made.
Dec 19, 2017 at 12:56 comment added user3223162 Very precise answer on permanodes, but could you comment more about the transactions that full nodes see, do they see the entire tangle or just a shard?
Dec 19, 2017 at 12:43 comment added Daniel F This is a snapshot raw.githubusercontent.com/iotaledger/iri/dev/src/main/resources/…
Dec 19, 2017 at 12:40 comment added Daniel F The snapshot contains all addresses that have balances on them and their balances, everything else is erased, so the Tangle builds up newly from there on. You have no history, don't know how those balances ended up in that address. Permanodes have that history.
Dec 19, 2017 at 9:10 comment added user3223162 To paraphrase, full node contains all the transactions before a snapshot, not just the transactions that reached the node before a snapshot
