I appreciate this kind of factual scrutiny. Although this article is focused mostly on PoW/BTC, similar problems exist for PoS chains. It's pretty ironic that a large percentage of PoS/staking nodes run on AWS. Side note: Cre

That's amazing, I haven't heard of these terms before. I looked through some of the solutions posted here (GitLab Merge Trains, mergify, ZUUL Gate) and they are awesome. I just felt that merging into main without having 100% confi

Even if that would happen, it's very different from today. Because these centralized verifiers now have an incentive to perform well. 1. I can ALWAYS choose to transact on L1 with others. This option is non-existant in our current syst

Yup, hit the nail on the head. A related thing that's bonkers to me is how much progress there has been in ZK cryptography. But people just dismiss the field, saying "ZK existed since the 80s it's a fad", and post yet an
