RE: Dan Larimer Cannot Censor Accounts with 51% of Hashes
First off she wont know.
You failed right there. The success of an ongoing, persistent, indefinite attack can't rely on the victim's not finding out about it. That is a recipe for a failed attack, and boom Alice is uncensored. It's easy to discover these attacks. Everyone will know something is up when the chain keeps re-organizing every 2+ blocks. They will spot who is behind the 51% attack and identify it as such, with these new 2+ block forks suddenly coming out of nowhere and reorganizing the chain, and possibly causing other havoc, not just to Alice.
The rest of your post is based on this same fallacy, so isn't worth responding to.
After months and maybe years having being fucked over.
And also, here we are again, BOTH OF US ULTIMATELY AGREE with @Dan . The deference is to what degree of fucked is Alice. In my opinion she is 100% fucked and in yours she is 60% fucked with a slight chance of doubling her money she cant spend anyway.
So what are we arguing about. Censorship doesnt just need to be outright silencing someone. censorship is also possible by making that person life a living hell.
We both know and agree this is possible. IE Dan is right. You agree, and I agree. The only things we have been arguing is to what degree of fucked she is. That's all. This entire argument you propose is 100% accepting what Dan said as truth and countering it with.
And don't even give me crap about how this would "destroy the mining pool or Ethereum" There would be a propaganda campaign to smoke bomb this fucker like nothing wrong ever happened and it would be business as usual forever.
Nope we don't. @dan can't censor Alice. She gets to spend her funds, twice if she is greedy. Downvoted you to make sure my position is clear.
