Come on now... this is literally the main value prop of a block chain.
- firstplacelast 9y agoIt’s something I’ve wondered too. If no one uses for a long time, why would anyone be incentivized to store that block chain? Could anyone explain?
- JetSpiegel 9y agoWhat, that it magically creates network-accessible storage? What is a peer-to-peer system without peers?
- chrisseaton 9y agoI think they mean that anyone with value invested in Ethereum blockchain (anyone holding ether) is incentivised to stay a peer. They don't need to care about the game, just about ether in general. Nobody thinks it magically does anything. There's an incentive built into the system for people who have nothing to do with the game to keep the blockchain and so the game data alive.
