I suspect it's an approximation of much lower level deterministic processes that we don't understand yet. One serious issue is renormalization, a crude mathematical hack that nobody likes but has turned out to be a very useful wor

Running BGP with 4-byte ASN's is well supported by all major vendors by now. The issue is policies that use ASN:XXXXX communities which is 2-byte:2-byte. There is an RFC to extend this to 4-byte for the ASN part but that is not widely

It will be interesting to see what happens with ETC if ETH miners switch to that after the merge. Does hashpower follow value, or does value follow hashpower?

I don't know (or care) about how he got that ASN but ARIN does occasionally recycle returned 3 or 4 digit ASN's, including very recently: 20220607|arin|US|asn|888|1|assigned|66e25d155d3f3d57ff208733b59f8cc8 20220607|arin|US|
