    Bad Actors v Miners IFP Opens An Attack

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 04:41 PM PST

    At what point has ABC been given reasonable time to cancel the IFP?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 10:05 AM PST

    By the time this post is a day old, it will be 2 weeks since the initial ABC release which introduced the IFP. Clearly the IFP is controversial/unpopular.

    I didn't want to jump down ABC's throat in the first few days because it is reasonable to give them time to gather community feedback. But how long does gathering community feedback take? There is not a lot of time before pools and exchanges upgrade.

    If ABC does not recant the IFP very soon, then the only alternative is to start a counter movement, beginning with pushing for the ecosystem to adopt Bitcoin Cash node and stop running ABC.

    Countering misinformation with data -- how the automated rolling checkpoints could create a natural chainsplit if the IFP soft-fork is activated

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 09:59 AM PST

    The risk of a chainsplit due to the IFP ("miner tax") combined with the automated rolling checkpoints is highly significant even in the absence of intentionally malicious behavior.

    This fact is met with incredulity and scorn even among popular developers.

    This was also prompted by the false assertion that BCN would follow the 'longest chain':

    For exchanges and users, this client will follow the longest chain whether it includes IFP soft forks or not.

    This is dangerously misleading.

    Rather than give another high-level argument, I decided to run the numbers on the actual risk. To that end, I wrote a simple simulation. It makes some simplifying assumptions, but is generally conservative in that it probably underestimates the actual risk.

    Here are some assumptions:

    • The tax soft-fork gets locked in on ABC due to signalling at 2/3 hashrate
    • The ABC nodes reject any non-tax blocks
    • The BCN nodes do not reject them
    • The BCN miners do not pay the tax at least initially

    What do you think the probability is that a chainsplit will happen within one day if ABC miners have 2/3 hashrate and BCN miners have 1/3? If you guessed greater than 90%, then congratulations, you're right. (It's > 99% within 2 days.)

    In fact, the average time it takes for a chainsplit to happen with those parameters is about 10 hours, with an average of fewer than 10 blocks getting orphaned total.

    Even with ABC miners commanding 3/4 hashrate and BCN only 1/4 hashrate, the average time to a chainsplit is just over a day.

    Here are the raw numbers for the average time and orphans until a chainsplit happens:

    BCN Hash Hours Orphans 0.4 5.8 3.96 0.39 6.16 4.46 0.38 6.6 5.06 0.37 7.1 5.77 0.36 7.64 6.41 0.35 8.33 7.49 0.34 9.03 8.45 0.33 10.18 10.0 0.32 11.05 11.17 0.31 12.37 13.0 0.3 13.89 15.15 0.29 16.24 18.04 0.28 18.33 20.86 0.27 20.98 24.11 0.26 24.88 28.77 0.25 29.66 34.58 0.24 37.33 43.72 0.23 46.81 54.67 0.22 60.5 69.43 0.21 74.54 84.24 0.2 98.13 107.52 0.19 146.08 155.97 0.18 199.75 205.13 0.17 272.91 268.44 0.16 423.32 396.75 0.15 759.05 669.78 0.14 1134.56 946.42

    Yesterday I posed my own question to /u/NilacTheGrim:

    Parameters: ABC has 2/3 hashrate, BCN has 1/3.

    How long do you think it takes before BCN locks in a chainsplit with p >= 0.25?

    The answer is around five hours, rather than his answer of "173 days".

    As is apparent from the data, one way to mitigate this risk is to make the signalling threshold for the tax much higher. Even with BCN miners having only 15% of hashrate, the probability of a natural chainsplit within two days is around 10%.

    After ~90-95% hashrate signalling, the risk of a chainsplit is negligible in normal conditions.

    So if you take only one thing away from this, it's that the 2/3 hash signalling is FAR TOO LOW to prevent a natural chainsplit, due to the automated rolling checkpoints and "unparking" PoW penalty in ABC and BCN.

    Alternatively, if BCN removed the automated checkpoints and unparking PoW penalty, the risk would also be minimal in normal conditions.

    Again, this analysis is in the absence of an intentional attack. The risk only increases with the presence of any malicious actors.

    (Thanks to these fine comments and posts.)

    Does anyone know or track where newly-mined coins go?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 05:55 PM PST

    I was just thinking about the upcoming halvenings of both bch and btc. I think that if you want to predict what the effect of that will be, a highly relevant question is, what currently happens to most newly mined coins?

    Are they being sold otc to hedge funds? Dumped on the market? Hoarded? Does it matter less than I think it does? What do you think?
