You could fairly easily argue that building on a chain that includes sanctioned transactions is also "processing" them. Therefore miners would need to fork the chain to remain in the clear legally or just stop mining altogether.
- thesausageking 4y agoThat doesn't make sense legally and regulators have given their blessing to the approach for Bitcoin I mentioned. I personally think even going after stakers is a bridge too far, but in that case the staker is profiting off of the illegal transaction and they're also directly participating in processing it.
