I must be missing something.
What's the point of an altcoin if it could be blocked by government anyway - I mean, you seemed to be saying earlier that the US government could pull the plug on the internet backbone if things got desperate enough for them?
I said it is much more likely they would just filter protocol of crypto-currency.
In the logic of escalation as needed, the threat of blackout I think would first be used to induce a country to comply.
See the distinction is the threat is something the national government can address by complying. Whereas, with the improvements I suggested, the government could not comply because the pools are anonymous.
If the powers-that-be blacked out a country that had tried to comply but couldn't possibly comply since technologically impossible, that would backfire.
