As I had argued upthread to you, that logic doesn't hold against the State's incentive to force KYC by regulating 50+% of the mining. The State incurs no ongoing cost, because it charges it to the collective. And that is why if the State is not limited in its power by permissionless individual power, then the State can drag humanity into a Dark Age of death and misery. And that is one of the main reasons I wasn't gullible enough to fall prey to
Satoshi's deception game.
Yes I addressed that later in the post. It remains to be seen whether non-concentrated mining is possible or if it is possible to create another design can achieve the same scope of security as satoshi's without assuming non-concentrated mining (or, indeed, if there is a proof this is not possible). If neither is possible then we will need to walk back the scope of security. I think you have commented somewhere that your design does weaken the security model in some way (relative to satoshi's idealized non-concentrated mining).
