Are you asking for a formal definition that could be put in code? Sorry, there just isn't one. The same laws which apply to stealing tangible things and cash also apply to stealing cryptocurrency. In the very unlikely event that the pe

Exactly. You need overwhelming consensus to change the rules safely. Bitcoin is currently in a state of disarray because groups of developers, miners, industry and users disagree on fundamental aspects of the scaling debate. There are no

The point is, if the core team made a change that's widely unpopular, clients would just refuse to upgrade to that version. Discontent users simply switch to a different branch maintained by different developers. If there's enough

I don't think anyone could honestly promise that. The law is written in code, and clearly code can be changed by human intervention. It's even open source, so technically anyone can change the Ethereum protocol, at any time. Of

That's right, but all stateful ICs on the motherboard have a reset pin, including the north and south bridges when they were still separate packages. Even PCI cards will receive the reset signal simultaneously. Not sure what the hard d

The case Ted Ts'o describes is much simpler: DRAM returning garbage while the CPU is still executing instructions and sending commands on the SATA bus. This can't possibly happen even if the power supply is crazy bad, because the
