Would you hire a security company again, if they refused to protect you when the push comes to shove?
That's all miners are. Mercenaries hired for 10 minutes at a time.
- ses1984 5y agoYeah exactly. Not sure if you realize the implication of what happens if you arm a bunch of mercenaries and then fire them and turn your backs on them.
- inter_netuser 5y agoThis has already played out. The breakaway hostile fork is now worth 2 percent of the original work. So..nothing?
- ses1984 5y agoI’m pretty sure that shows that miners follow the money. They will mine whatever chain where they can sell the block reward to the highest bidder. Anyway I don’t think reality is as simple as your last comment suggests. There was a lot going on at the time including a lot of misinformation.
