For those of you who know a bit more about the topic. Is this ban going to stop the large-scale cryptocurrency mining that occurs in China? Isn't it actually something interesting for the rest of the world, as mining could become a bit easier?
- jraines 9y agoI don't know, but that's one of the two "real" questions: 1. How will China treat miners? 2. Will they go forward with blocking node communication at the port/GFW level? Re: 1, if they shut down / limit mining it's nbd. If they co-opt it to try & launch 51% attacks it's a big problem, but not, I think, insurmountable and would be a tactical error.
