Who will record this "evidence" to the blockchain? Anyway there will be two versions of the blockchain. In one of them attacker's stake was not slashed and there is no any "evidence" of his malicious actions.
- woah 6y agoThe "evidence" is two blocks, with the same block height, both signed by the attacker. Not sure what these two versions of the blockchain you're talking about are. Signing two blocks at the same height with the same chain id is the slashable offense. It doesn't matter what's in them. If the attacker wants to have his own blockchain off in the corner where he has all the money, nobody cares.
- ishishkin 6y ago> Not sure what these two versions of the blockchain you're talking about are. Really?! One version is "Vitalik's fork" and another one is "non-Vitalik's fork". Which one of them is a valid chain? Any idea? Assume the attacker is Vitalik and there an "evidence" of his attack. Who will dare to slash him? Vitalik won't include this evidence into "Vitalik's fork". If Vitalik wants to have his own blockchain, nobody cares, isn't it?
