    "My intuition is that not only will this cartel initiative go as planned, but that it will result in solid price gains for BCH and go down as one of the most important innovations in Bitcoin. Voluntary, time-constrained, free market solution to one of Bitcoin's greatest problems."

    CRYPTO DEV DIGEST: BCH Infrastructure Funding Alternative, New CashShuffle Build, OG Reemerges

    The miner tax is nothing, but a dressed up 51% attack

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 02:21 AM PST

    With Bitcoin Cash being a minority SHA256 hash power coin and the miner centralization in China this has been a long time coming.

    I hope we can weather the attack, otherwise I think it would spell the end for mining as a way to secure crypto currencies in favour of other approaches (such as trust webs or POS).

    As to the idea itself: If you believe in centralized monetary systems, just use fiat issued by central banks. They have big "dev funds" ;)

    I hope Roger and Amaury realize how much damage this is doing and retract their support for this 51% attack.

    I also hope "selfish" and ideologically pure miners join forces to use the 12.5% decreased earnings of the attackers to defeat them and earn more. (Attackers could use the 12.5% to mine of course, but that is also the case in a normal 51% attack)

    Alternative ways to fund developers:

    • Donations.
    • Companies using the system and therefore having developers work on it. (See Linux environment)
    • Students and junior programmers earning experience. (See Linux environment) I understand Amaury wants to eat; all he has to do is "retire" to a crypto related job and earn good money. Then repeat this process with newly educated programmers over and over.

    Programmatic protection from 51% attacks:

    Allow nodes to configure certain blocks to force-orphan. This would allow users to easily orphan long forks caused by 51% attacks.

    I hear Bitcoin Unlimited are big on configurability, I think they should add this option in May.

    Node operators (ie. users and hodlers) are and must remain the ones in control as Satoshi wanted it.

    Roger Ver's Conundrum

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 03:22 AM PST

    The word "Tax" is a red herring

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 08:59 PM PST

    what this is, is a 51% attack by a cartel of Chinese miners to steal 12.5% of the block reward for themselves and drive away the competing miners.
