Then the node that had their stake forfeited simply allocates their resources to a competing blockchain where that didn’t happen.

- dane-pgp 5y agoI think you're suggesting that a rogue node disobeying the protocol creates a chain split, allowing the node to just orphan the chain where they got caught. That's probably true in general, but I was assuming that the random number generation would be decoupled from the process of actually building the consensus. As long as the loss of stake can happen and be finalised as part of the transaction history, then eventually the attackers will run out of money and the random number generation process can catch up and start generating more entropy.
