Yeah. Isn't this a major problem with all of these alternative implementations? The 50% problem will always be an issues in small deployments.
It's still a problem in the largest deployment. Does anyone have a "solution" to this?
In this specific case, it seems like what they really should do is have a set of trusted nodes for ledger replication.
- bizzleDawg 10y agoSurely the best antidote to the 51% attack is to have a large population of nodes so that an attack would have to be prohibitively large? W.r.t. having a set of trusted nodes, that's fine, however does the blockchain add anything in this situation?
- bluejekyll 10y agoNo. That's actually my point. This industry probably doesn't want to invest in always having 51% of the nodes, so trusted central ledgers makes more sense to me.
- sanswork 10y agoThe solution is to not use PoW.
