i use this regularly now. highly recommend over zoom.

The prompts shown literally invite the LLM to complete the copyrighted text by providing unedited selections and asking the machine to finish those. Even if this is problematic in …

Perhaps you are being a bit cynical? There are certainly no problems that can't be solved by giving more money to government initiatives like the MaRS Centre in Ontario. These inst…

You missed the last paragraph. The dominant strategy for users is indeed to broadcast two nodes.

the irony is that POW is actually more complex here, which is why it is vulnerable to these attacks

The sybil-proof mechanism here is not POS but a variant of POW.

I think perhaps you should read the paper if you want to have a deeper discussion? An understanding of how the mechanism works should make it clear how the solution enables outboun…

Do you want your transaction fee to pay for mining, or do you want it to pay for the servers that run the network? If it pays for mining, who pays for the servers that run the netw…

You seem to be concerned about censorship attacks -- attacks that necessarily involve orphaning work in some capacity -- either orphaning blocks produced by honest nodes, or orphan…

You're not describing a sybil attack. You're talking about censorship. If you want to address that, your best strategy is to incentivize people to run access points that do not cen…

> There are no excess hops in the attack I am describing. As above, you're not describing a sybil attack. Adding a bunch of 1st hop nodes to a network doesn't mean that those nodes…

> However depending on the architecture that is the only motivation needed and depriving others of rewards; in the long term this could result in centralization of routing nodes (b…

Author of the original paper this write-up was based on here. The sybil attack as a theoretical problem is defined in the "Red Balloons" paper ("information propagation without sel…

The attack vector you are describing doesn't work. If an attacker owns 1010 nodes and collects inbound transactions on 1010 nodes, then they have to relay those transactions to a s…

Saito isn't an obscure blockchain. The formal proof of its sybil-proof properties is also chain-agnostic. https://github.com/SaitoTech/papers/blob/main/sybil/A_Simple... It would b…

thank you for sharing this

Chiming in because we have an open source game engine on Saito ( https://saito.io/arcade ) which imo is the future of crypto gaming but is usually overlooked by people who want to …
