This begs the question: couldn't the Chinese government intentionally delay even small (outgoing) blocks to give Chinese miners an advantage (with either benign or malicious motives)?

- tlrobinson 9y agoThat's basically what the "selfish mining" attack is, isn't it? I think the interesting thing about the government doing it is it doesn't require any coordination between miners within China. They wouldn't even necessarily know it was happening unless they looked for it.
