"The obvious counter is a PoW algorithm swapout. All who have a stake in BTC have commensurate incentive to follow the functional side of the fork." | |
The point: if a party has any stake in BTC, they have commensurate incentive to follow along on the branch of any given fork that continues to function. | |
Tweet #2: https://twitter.com/evoskuil/status/1225352981811347458 | |
"Nope." (link to https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-system/wiki/Proof-of-Work-Fallacy) | |
From the included link: "There is a theory that mining services are subservient... According to this theory miners then suffer a catastrophic loss due to the unrecoverable capital investment in highly-specialized hardware." | |
Note: this link, and the reasoning it contains, is not relevant to the point raised in Tweet #1. In fact, Tweet #1 does *not* argue in any way that users can "foist a capital loss" on miners. The link is entirely irrelevant to Tweet #1 and the point that it makes. In other words, it is orthogonal and irrelevant. | |
Tweet #3: https://twitter.com/yojoots/status/1225460942277877760 | |
"What are you saying "Nope" to, specifically? I am not claiming that red-team suffers some catastrophic economic loss or anything along those lines. Please elaborate on what "Nope" is supposed to mean here. Thanks." | |
Note: the question asked in Tweet #3 has remained unanswered. Presumably this is because @evoskuil realized that Tweet #2 is irrelevant and fails to address the point made in Tweet #1, but is afraid to admit this fact. | |
Tweet #4: https://twitter.com/evoskuil/status/1225509193404354565 | |
"Until you attempt to support a point you have stated, there isn’t much else to say." | |
Note: this is comically ironic, considering the fact that @evoskuil has *still* not supported the "point" that was stated in Tweet #2. |
