Let me check this real quick.

If a miner proposes a block including something a major part of validators wish to censor, then they will do so, and having 400 or 100 will not change the needed ratio, nor will it imply nodes being taken down or not. A small correction, It'd would be estimated in the numbers of 200-400. Not a...

That's up for debate, i'm not sure you should especially debate with me out of everyone, but my opinion is that the danger to Core is not worth the small (small according to me) increase in censorship resistance. I think it's almost exactly the same security in that regard if you get all nodes...

I am not talking about why it is made. I am talking of how. I will directly quote the original paper by Satoshi: This, above, is textbook game theory. I will paste the first line of wikipedia to make sure we understand the same thing: "Game theory is the study of mathematical models of...

Thanks for the link, i appreciate it. If 10K or 4K nodes are all geolocalized and get taken down by whatever, as long as there is data replication somewhere, not everything is lost and new nodes begin anew. I don't believe there being 400 or 500 nodes will change much to the geolocalisation in...

Let me reformulate then, as i answered that point but i think we misunderstood each others. There is nothing inherent to the system or design that put whales at a benefit. The only reason that there might be a difference in yield is social factors. The system is fair but IF whales see a...

that's why we're polling, it's a divisive topic. Thus it is good that you speak your mind. My text below is also an answer to qwizzie. I do, however, disagree. The main features of decentralization are not just on and off, they are gradual qualities. And as with everything in life it's not...

I will pass on your advice to QE, i think he will appreciate it as it is very ground to earth thoughts.

off topic, but I did say it was extreme, that was poor wording, it's cautious. If the first whale is an exchange, then it's better to expect their number of nodes to slowly grow i believe. I will get back to you in a bit on the security indeed because it feels that there are many numbers which...

I will answer tomorrow

You understood correctly. QE and i looked at scenarios that are close to extreme. So yes, if a whale owned 100 nodes, then we'd have calculated for 120/140 nodes.

Good question. Me and QE are not saying you should or should not worry. in fact, if it was a solution which implied a risk that is too great i would have not let it up to discussion in the first place. We show the probabilities so that you can form an opinion by yourself. We want to show the...

I am unsure of the point you are trying to convey, but blockchain as a field is heavily based on game theory. Such analysis simply follow the path set forth by the whole field previously.

Mind that i'll try to answer to every statement seriously, and as such i'll quote you heavily so that you know which points i'm adressing. I said that the introduction of such an idea of 4-10K nodes is not related to PoSe as it's two different topics. It is although, of course, a point of...

Hello everyone! I am virgile, you might recognize me as that name on DIP 24 and other documents, i'm the resident mathematician or cryptographer of DCG or whatever other title you see fit of giving me. I was told by QuantumExplorer of a discussion happening on this forum. As you probably know...
