Good Lord Icy, you're really such a shit, you know? (I know, I'm in the mood to compliment today) Please read the wiki on Zooko's Triangle, I quote "
Several systems which exhibit all three properties of Zooko's triangle have now been created, including: " etc... look it up to see these systems. You can add Dash to it by the way - Duffield and many others have broken this stupid short sighted "rule".
And toknormal is absolutely correct. The blockchain is NOT secured by math, the math performed is only a form of competition for the right to secure the blockchain. The way Dash secures the transactions instantaneously is just as secure because the selection of the quorums are dictated by the hash of a previous block, which collects 10 MNs that meet with certain requirements based off of that block hash. These requirements are designed to randomize the selection further. If the transaction is accepted, then it is locked. If any miner tries to include a different competing transaction, that block is rejected.
By the way, I wish we knew who you really are, because I'd love to see Dash sue you for slander and defamation... on all of our behalf! Especially the deep pockets you work for. Man, we need to start some serious investigating
Oh, be nice!
I read up on Zooko's triangle in 2011, during my efforts to support Namecoin. But you don't know that, because you didn't show up until several years (epochs of Bitcoin time) later.
Pointing out toknormal's idiocy (in the form of fraudulent self-serving assertions) doesn't make me a terrible person nor amount to "slander and defamation" (it's adorable how you for the sake of puffery cluelessly conflate the redundant former with the inclusive latter term).
One does not simply break Zooko's triangle.If one desires to make such an extraordinary claim, one must also provide extraordinary evidence (usually in the form of a peer-reviewed, mathematically exhaustive whitepaper). Dash has done no such thing, thus you have zero basis to dispute (much less condemn) my healthy skepticism.

Did you learn that True Crypto Fact at toknormal's Academy for Gifted Domestics? You've really gone up the Duff with that howler!
You and toknormal should be the founders of your own Armchair Cryptographer think tank!
FYI, your precious "quorums" are intrinsically susceptible to Sybil attack, and more so due to the Masternode HYIP scam, which (bizarrely and inexplicably) *subsidizes* adversaries by reducing their (opportunity) cost per offensive.
