using your example all cryptos are centralised if you use crypto without mining them?

No, the context is networking between blockchains.

If they're networked via a hub, then the network is centralised.

This is true even if the hub is blockchain-based.

In such a scenario (e.g. Atomic, and also sidechains in a different way), a central blockchain records transactions between all other blockchains. Thus, even though the central blockchain is internally decentralised, its position in the inter-chain network is as a centralised entity.

See what I mean?



i understand what you mean, but i'm not convinced.

taking atomic for example - without the peers of the network (miner) nothing would work. i think there is no stronger definition of fog computing and decentralisation.

i think it really depends on the viewpoint and understanding of the definition of centralisation.
so i guess we can agree to disagree Smiley
