03:43:40 Would this be the right place to find someone to discuss my proposal with me? 03:43:41 I posted to https://monero.town/post/6526877 and https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/136#issuecomment-3191634811 03:43:43 It was responded to in both places, but after having considered the criticisms, including fully reading the github discussion, I do not understand how they apply. 03:43:45 Combined with something related to the miners sign the blocks idea, as far as I can see, this idea would provide the following benefits: 03:43:47 1. Increase cost of flash attacks by an arbitrary amount without punishing long term committed miners. 03:43:49 2. provides the solution to make miners signing blocks sybil attack proof (or at least does not allow a sybil attack to by pass the above penalty. 03:43:51 3. allows for potentially limiting the percentage of total hash rate any one identity can contribute, which could be a pressure to break up large pools without preventing the use of p2pool. (it doesn't force this however, merely forces a more complicated command and control infrastructure.) 03:43:53 I know that the devs are all very busy, but this is not leaving my brain even after much thought on my part as to why it was dismissed, so I would love to have a two way discussion to help me understand why this wouldn't work. It'll help me sleep better if nothing else. 03:43:55 Thanks for considering.
