In section 4 on pagge 3 of my paper,, I reference that a majority of CPU power when controlled by honest nodes will grow the honest chain faster than the competing chains.

This does not mean that they will blindly follow the longest chain. That would allow an attacker to merely gain through luck, it would allow a short burst of transactions and not an ongoing process of making decisions.

The notion that the honest chain will grow faster and outpace competing chains does not imply that the honest chain is always and necessarily longer at all points in history

In acting as an honest node, the operator makes a decision.

They choose to follow one chain or to reject a chain if they believe that it is not following the rules.

This is not an automated process by definition.

computers don't vote

say this with me again

computers don't vote

computers don't decide

computers don't have an opinion

people make decisions

As nodes act to maintain the validity of the network, it would be possible for an individual who has been falsely deceived of funds to take action against a node that does not act to ensure the honest chain grows fastest. In this, node operators will be demonstrated to hold a fiduciary duty to the network users. Whilst this is limited to ensuring the validity of transactions, that process also requires that nodes reject invalid blocks such as those containing double-spent transactions. The user taking action against the node operator would need to demonstrate that the node operator knew of the transaction that was being received. The user could poll the various nodes and check whether the transaction had been received and whether other information concerning double-spent transactions had been seen. If the node responded that no double-spent transaction had been seen on the network, the user would have evidence that could be used in taking action against any node that continued to build on an alternative chain containing a subsequently double-spent transaction.

I covered this in my LLM thesis.

This is vicarious liability

The node operator who does not interact and does not take action can be held liable for the lossees of other individuals on the network.

Security Basics: RE: Defamation and the diffculties of law on the Internet.
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008

This post goes to those cowards who sit behind anonymity on the web and cast
doubt and aspersions about people whilst hiding. I note that most defamatory comments are anonymous. Cowards!

An anonymous poster (not this list, but the person I suspect does subscribe to this one) stated that there are doubts with my qualifications. Anonymity is the shield of cowards, it is the cover used to defend their lies. My life
is open and I have little care for my privacy - so in my case this is an easy charge to defend.

SANS GIAC
This is the daftest to challenge and easiest to contest.
http://www.giac.org/certifications/gse-compliance.php or go to

As I am the ONLY GSE-Compliance (verify if you like) it is an EASY validation.
I do not use it on my title - long enough, but I am a SANS/GIAC Technical Director as well. This is harder to check, but email Stephen Northcutt if you like.

I have about 25 GIAC Certs - so please pick on them all you like.

Computers don’t make decisions. The notion that contracts can be automated and seeking a legislative and judicial response to acknowledge that code is law is merely a means to shirk responsibility.[1] Individuals who create systems that profit through the operation of computer-based systems need to take responsibility for the effects of the systems they are running. The duties that go along with running a system associated with a profit-making activity include ensuring that the system acts within the laws that apply to its operation and the rules associated with the application being run.

[1] See Tim Wu; Lessig.

Whilst a node can come and go at will, the operator of the node decides to either follow the honest chain and support this against any attacker, to leave the network and come back at a later point in time, leaving any potential profit that is to be earned behind or sides with the attacker and becomes vicariously liable for the actions of the attacker.

DeFi is NOT automated - it is always and only set by HUMANS - ones who want to hide as they are all criminals!

There is not a single non-criminal use case that DeFi provides - every single thing DeFi does is more efficient and better when not controlled by anon hidden actors.

There is no GAI, or general Artificial Intelligence.

We are not within 40 years of creating one, we have no idea what consciousness is, we have no idea where to start. And, AI as we have is is not a path to consciousness. Ever.

So, any AI is just an algorithm that people create, that is tuned to mostly deliver a statistically standardised result.

Most of us want the same common ends. We want people in poverty to have a way to achieve more to learn more, and become educated.

The majority of us want a clean and sustainable world, where forests will still be available in the future, and the air will be clean for our children.

Most people, and by this, I mean nearly everybody, want those underprivileged to have a means to work their way out of poverty and engage in society to gain benefits and experience social mobility as they achieve all they can.

Some people only want what they can for themselves. For those, I have nothing to offer. For the others who want to see a better world, what we should be doing is not fighting but openly addressing the questions that need to be addressed.

The issue is not race or white privilege or any of that other trash. It is poverty and how we address it through society at different levels. You cannot just say that someone is poor. You have to ask why they are poor. Is there something that is stopping them from gaining or doing more? Do they have opportunities to grow?
 
Can we compare that with other groups such as migrants? For example, in the USA, when we look at migrant groups from Africa or places like Haiti, they compare with migrants from India or other nations.

White privilege does not exist. Privilege because of wealth does. My children are not white but rather mixed. That does not mean that they have white privilege; it means that they have wealthy parent privilege. I was white trash despite the efforts of my mother. We were poor, and we had less than most people in poverty, which is a lack of privilege in itself. So, you cannot simply say privilege because someone is white or privilege because someone is anything else, but rather, you have to look at things on a case-by-case basis. You need to investigate what is impacting the individual, not the group.

Marks stated that the theory of Communist and Socialist regimes could be summed up in but one sentence - the abolition of private property in all forms.

When this occurs, they will want to make things better for their own children. That is the use of their capital. It is a better use than investing in a yacht or a holiday or more expensive bottles of wine. These are the trade-offs that people make, and paying for education for their children is one of those things that people do with the alternative of having another Aspen ski holiday.
 
To simply say that this is wrong is to downplay some of the other aspects of life. It is to ignore what people can achieve and to allow them to be rewarded for it. When we take away the ability for people to make their own wealth and capital then we take away the incentives for people to work hard and build a better society.

Equally, we don’t want people just going after money for money sake.
 
Markets are about the development of capital goods and services. There is this widescale confusion at the moment that exchanges and financial systems are markets. They are not. Markets involve the trade of goods and the trade of services. Markets involve delivery to the consumer. The intermediary systems may be necessary, but equally, when they become widely distributed and a part of society as a democratised ideal, these are no longer markets but a widescale universal casino.

Stop thinking about how you can get rich instantly.
Stop thinking about how without working you can be rich.

I am rich not because I can invent something and retire.
 
I am rich because I will never retire, I will never give up.
 
I am fifty years old and I am still in university.
 
I have been in university since the 1980s and I will be in universities when I am in my 80s

Not because I just want to have idle knowledge but because I need to know more to build more and to deliver what I need to deliver to society.
 
I have money and because they have money I have a duty.
 
I don’t have the right to sit on my ass and do nothing.
 
I don’t have the right to stop working.
 
I have money because I have the obligation to work harder and longer. I have been entrusted with money from society because I have the ability to use it to create and build. And as such, it is my duty to work until I can no longer work.
 
That is the attitude you need to have

When things get hard.
 
Work harder. Study more. Use the skills that God gave you and find a way to solve the problems that you have. Don’t despair. Don’t worry about the bullies in the assholes who will try and take you down.
 
Do better than them and that’s how you beat them
