Little nitpick: it's 2/3 needed now, not 50%.
If a bad actor misbehaves before controlling 2/3 then their stake gets eroded or even erased as punishment. Even merely being offline can result in stake erosion.
- lawn 4y agoNo I mean 50% as in nobody can ever remove you from the 50%. But to your point, who should decide who the misbehaving actor is? In what situation can you punish the network with only 1/3, as compared to 1/2 as with Bitcoin?
- Fatnino 4y agoThe punishment is baked into the protocol I think. If the protocol sees a node trying to create a fork that node gets spanked. I think all actions are signed now. I don't really know, I just read one article about it this week. I've personally cashed out and checked out a long time ago.
