A large group of outdated masternodes is being deliberately maintained to keep the network forked up. Someone(s) is putting a lot of money into causing this.
Not sure it would even work. The old nodes are so large in quantity, punting them would still result in nothing but a fork as there are so many they can simply persist their own ecosystem.
My point is, unless they are overwhelmed by percentage, that won't happen. They'll just keep promoting their own fork with their own payments.
Thats the point. Its not feasible. If they get rejected, they consider the rejects wrong and go their own way on a fork that accepts. You could do that if the bad actors were, say, 10% because theyvwould island by probability. But at 45%+ they can propogate their own reality no matter what a new version dictates. Think of it like half of the population of a country refusing to obey a new law. Ther is nothing that can be done with mass defiance like that.
They are 45%. They make their own food and water.
Until they can be sufficiently outnumbered, I can't see a way... even considered banning the vins from being declared valid MN... essentially doing what you have been doing... but still fork, just for another reason. Might buy time for consesnus... but still, onyxnet will exist...
Centralization of voluntary action? Gain nothing forcible. Centralize for no benefit...
