Isn't the cost generally substantially higher than 1% if directly using the blockchain [depends on transaction size and urgency/timeliness I suppose]? But yes, you are right there is a competitive pressure/force at work here.

Seriously? Is this the quality of discussion HN is regularly becoming? You want me to make an assumption? Is that how you operate in conversation - assumptions to fill in the gaps when something isn't clear? You realize that their sayi

So this is the very beginning of an argument. "Serious virologists" isn't proof. Which virologists think it's natural, and which think it's unnatural? Now lets see the data and thorough reasoning by each, and see th
