    Looking forward to discussing this with you in an hour - this is all very interesting. It appears that the blue line never goes above 37%. Given that the red line hits above 50% sometimes, it’s likely that this is probabilistic because the Monero protocol doesn’t measure hashrate

    I recommend checking out $Qi by @QuaiNetwork. It's a decentralized stable asset that tracks the value of energy. We've built a way to tokenize the energy input of PoW mining and use it as a stable value reference. qu.ai/litepaper

    Looking forward to continuing our research into scalable PoW together, and finishing your book! For those who'd like to learn more about Quai, you can read our litepaper here: qu.ai/litepaper For our more more in-depth peer reviewed research papers, check them out here:

    It’s still centralized - the world needs a solution to the stablecoin issue that is trustless. Bitcoin is great because it’s decentralized and I don’t need to trust a shady company to back it for me.

    Would highly recommend @mechanikalk Been in Bitcoin for a very long time and has some spicy takes that might make a BTC maxi cry... He's a gem worth the background check.

    XMR difficulty suggests ~5.23 gh/s with ~4.15 gh/s represented by known pools, so it's likely they got lucky due to the probabilistic nature of PoW consensus. @peterktodd I'd love to introduce to you a mechanism that prevents this kind of sub-51% attack called workshares and

    What an incredible post! Glad to work with you on educating investors about selfish mining in PoW! I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I did. Looking forward to the next part!

    Scaling still ultimately depends on latency and bandwidth, this just improves the efficiency of the transaction processing after you've already received them.
