04:29:10 What do the devs think of Dr. K’s proposed POW improvement for Monero? Work shares. He is working on a PR. 04:29:10 https://x.com/douglastuman/status/1964183013656305670?s=46&t=WeY1AyuT6Ir1FNBKKq_Beg 04:48:16 I read the paper about work share:- and I understood, Work shares don’t kill decentralization in Monero they can actually strengthen it. By forcing miners to reveal partial work, selfish-mining becomes unprofitable and small CPU miners get their fair share. The danger isn’t the idea, it’s the implementation: if shares ar [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/m67ntrIKMmxVd3BN ] 05:03:46 However, Dr. K or Quai documentation do not explicitly detail how they've addressed the traditional DoS risk, where attackers spam the network with worthless low-difficulty shares, so this issue still remains from days of fruits 05:06:15 he absence of documented DoS safeguards doesn't necessarily mean none exist I just didnt find anything 07:53:38 @chowbungaman:matrix.org: Without commentary on their improvement to PoW, I strongly disagree on their premise for PoW. They claim with PoS, the stakers have to let you in. That's true here too with PoW. The whole issue with Qubic is they're attempting to capture consensus and prevent people from joining. Yes, PoS can be captured, yet that isn't unique. 08:23:45 ... that's why I proposed the Eigentrust family of algorithms as finality layer. Stake replaced by a reputation score which can not be bought with money but must be earned over a long period and can be slashed quickly. needs testing though.
