I am writing the "validators contract" for tendermint right now. It will have this functionality.
- Mtinie 12y agoIn this initial allocation of nodes, will one node equal one individual (with a verifiable identity)? If it does, I expect that it would reduce the likelihood of a Sybil-styled attack during the early days of the network -- with the risk of introducing a different vector, direct coercion of the node owners. Is the plan to make the hard-coded genesis nodes as geographically diverse as possible?
