Publish the two bootnodes; run-node.sh works with zero arguments now

Browse Source 
Founder approved publishing the network entry points. Both are public read hosts
outside the validator set, so their downtime cannot cost consensus, and their
addresses were already public through the services they serve. One runs Besu and
one runs Nethermind, so a new node's first two peers are two independent
implementations. run-node.sh uses both by default; --bootnode still overrides.
The mail path stays as fallback for the day both are down.

This closes the last gap between "one command plus an email" and one command.

Bootnodes are deliberately NOT published in this repository yet. The network entry points
available today are consensus or origin hosts, and this project does not print the addresses
of its own machines in public documents; a dedicated public bootnode, on a host that serves
nothing else, is the planned replacement, and this paragraph will then carry its enode. Until
then, write to office@aere.network with the subject "bootnode" and you will receive a current
enode by return. Everything else on this page works without one; discovery is the only step
that needs it.
Two bootnodes are published here since 2026-08-25. Both are public read hosts that are NOT in
the validator set, so taking them down cannot cost the network consensus; their addresses were
already public through the services they serve. The first runs Besu, the second runs Nethermind,
so your first two peers are also two independent implementations:
```
enode://7e8ff740b79bf28a6d7e46ea8d2317cea4a223e7af60be36e91e13dc7051f4cb29077631452e699a5e18e640a94fd6e370e9e51dd91ecba1f2ba9666e07ff01b@37.27.216.110:30303

```
`run-node.sh` uses both by default when `--bootnode` is not given. A written address is not a
live address: only your own `net_peerCount` proves they are up. If both are unreachable, write
to office@aere.network with the subject "bootnode" for a current enode by return.
`--sync-mode=FULL` is deliberate. Chain 2800 runs QBFT with a half second block period, so the head
was about 12.2 million blocks when this was written (2026-08-03), passed 14.6 million on 2026-08-19,
