(surely not pigeons if we want fast transactions)
I qualified it as "fast" pigeons. Genetic engineering will help.
You’re notorious (at least with me) for that pigeon comment which dates back to (2014?) discussions of offchain versus Cryptonote onchain anonymity. Recently I had tried to find your original comment but I could not. Did you delete it? Or was it in a private message only?
Have not deleted any comments. Don't remember whether it was PM of posted.
You’re still arguing the network access attack on block producers, which is not my point.
Fair enough, the comment earlier suggested that it was (at least initially).
My economic point remains that the block producers will attack each other or be attacked by non-network-access means if ever a DPoS chain reaches $1 trillion mcap which I pointed out in my prior post. Actually @r0ach was the first person to make that prediction in 2015 or 2016 afair.
I don't know how block producers can attack each other. They don't need to be directly connected to each other. Unlike Dash masternodes they don't need to have any fixed or public location or IP address, just some mechanism to deliver their signed blocks. As far as non-network means, I don't rule that out and in fact find it reasonably likely.
(I have nothing against Dan personally, just the $200 million token sale and the lack of focus on technology first)
Token sale is ongoing daily for several more months. I don't know how much has been raised but I'd guess well over $200 million. Wasn't the first chunk alone $200 million? Maybe buying from themselves is a valid point too. Its all very non-transparent, but probably a lot.
