Spread the punishment. No but seriously, how are the bitcoin nodes going to be validated?
That's what we have to find out. And that's where the fame will come from, IF we find out.
Cryptoland has a problem, who will find a solution?
That's a recurring theme around these parts.
So basically the only reason we're doing this is for publicity?
Ofcourse not.
If we can't find a way to validate/secure this (or any future) service, then the service will simply not go public, and be put away into the "bad ideas basket".
I thought that would be obvious?
Actually, I too have been thinking about this again after reading a couple of posts above.
Whether we like it or not, nearly $1bn of VC money has gone into Bitcoin. Yet the node count is falling and heading into risky territory.
It's actually in all our interests, all alt coins, to support Bitcoin until there is sufficient public recognition of crypto being more than Bitcoin.
I guess this is an example of selfish cooperation. 'I will help not because I want to, but because your success helps me.'
There is also the practical aspect that nearly all alts are traded in BTC pairs. If you want to exchange your SPR for $, you have to go via BTC. The entire crypto infrastructure currently relies on Bitcoin transactions financing it.
Will it get some publicity? Who knows. The underlying issue is that Bitcoin needs full nodes to secure it before negative press starts to impact everyone.
