Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
Hehe, I can already see the first reputable witnesses leaving the bite ball ship as soon as the trade in drugs and weapons increases, the blackmail potential of crypto currencies first becomes known to a wider public, and the state's security organs are terrified. When, in the course of this, the media strike a big blow: "Strawberries, oranges, pears are prepared with needles. In the last two weeks alone, 23 deaths have occurred. Global blackmail gang demands 100 million USD to be paid in a crypto currency of a project called Byteball."
The publicly known witnesses then come into the focus of an enraged mob.
Threats... maybe even lynchings...
Have fun in the bite ball echo chamber.

Go on, why stopped? What will happen next?
What can they force those witnesses to do?
Convince all of them to censor some specific transactions?
Even if they manage to convince 7 witnesses to do something that specific, all of those 7 witnesses will be replaced with hard-fork.
Or you expect some witness will give up their position because of the pressure? They will be replaced by Byteball users.
By that time there will be plenty of witnesses to choose, or you think no new witnesses will stand up for that position then?
Maybe here is your answer why nobody cares about Byteball + BISQ + OpenBazaar.
