Would be interesting to do a comparison of the cost of a 51% on bitcoin vs 1/3rd ethereum.

Читать полностью…False equivalence. If the current crop of over-leveraged bitcoin miners went out business, then hashrate would fall, resulting in a difficulty adjustment, which would attract new miners, that weren’t over extended in their hardware capex.

Читать полностью…> debatable second point
I recall Solana required control of 1/3rd of bonded SOL. Is it a similar threshold for Ethereum?
But those ASICS could be bought by other massive companies, further centralizing the supply.
And that second point is debatable.
This is unfortunate and it’d be great to see these centralised hashrate factories go out of business, which is looking increasingly likely.
In terms of security, proof of work is the only consensus mechanism that’s isn’t (as easily) financially subverted and controlled.
You’d need magnitudes less issuance to achieve roughly the same amount of economic security (if you strictly look at $ value).
Читать полностью…There is no comparison. Bitcoin miners going out of business is neutral to true Bitcoin Maxi’s, it’s the way capitalism is supposed to work. If you aren’t competitive anymore, you deserve to die and you will be replaced by someone who is competitive. Bitcoin won’t die because there is the difficulty adjustment if many miners go under.
