Thanks for your clarification nullc. I don’t quite follow:
* How will the light clients notice if they are on the malicious chain if it has the most work (for simplicity they see 1 malicious node and 1 non-malicious)? The light wallet surely goes with the malicious validator with the longest chain, when it sees it.
It’s obvious (to me) that the non-malicious validators won’t accept invalid blocks, but not so obvious to me why light wallets would follow the smaller chain.
This is at the crux of what appears to be my misunderstanding of light clients.
If you have a link, I would like to read more and it would probably save you time from repeating something you’ve likely said before.
