Also, with PoS coming in a few days, the game changes. IIUC, stakers will be obligated to validate all (valid) transactions unless they are willing to forfeit their staked ETH... No preferential treatment anymore.
(This is still new to me, please correct me if I'm wrong)
- intrasight 4y agoIf the vast majority of stakers agree to OFAC regulations (which appears to be the case) then the end result is censorship.
- everfree 4y agoWhat gives the appearance that this is the case? Even if the "vast majority" of stakers agree with the regulation, the regulation is ambiguous as to whether stakers are expected to refrain from including TC transactions in their own blocks, or actively orphan all blocks that include TC transactions. The latter hurts their staking revenue and effectuates a soft fork. (Staking revenue is hurt due to the inactivity correlation factor that the network uses to calculate rewards.) If the regulation only demands the former, then the network will continue status-quo, except that TC transactions may take a couple minutes to be included instead of 12 seconds.
