take 3 out of 5 runners away from the race and put them into a new circuit.. does not mean the remaining runners suddenly run slower at 25 seconds
This is a completely flawed analogy. If you take 60% of the hashrate away to mine a malicious chain in secret, then why on earth would the remaining 40% still be able to find blocks at the same speed? That is absolutely not how bitcoin works, like,
at all.
a pools work on its own block. meaning if there are 5 pools
EG
20% pool A - average block speed 2min-20 min
20% pool B- average block speed 2min-20 min
20% pool C- average block speed 2min-20 min
20% pool D- average block speed 2min-20 min
20% pool E- average block speed 2min-20 min
there would be 5 pools all competing to make a block with in that time. and every block session there is a winner.
its not(unlike what OELEO subtle insinuates) where the network hashrate work together on a single block or whatever silly analogy his is plying about having a competing attacker subtracts hashrate from the pools making them slower or where out of the aaverage 6 blocks an hour a attacker pool owns 3-4 out of 6 blocks
in a re-org event. an attacker pool doesnt show as any blocks in the network until the attacker gets height, and suddenly a re-org of many blocks takes over the chain. where the blocks leading back to the target block chosen to be edited sudenly all appear as being done by the attacker pool.. but only if the attacker pool has acheieved heeight by having enough of its own hashrate to compete to race and overtake the honest network
anyway back to the example of the 5 pools (A-E)
taking pools CDE away. does not make pools A and B to suddenly take 5-50 minutes
the pools still solve their blocks at their candidate block attempts same times they would have.. because they are doing their same work.. other pools dont impede work done by another pool
the difference is which block out of the candidate blocks becomes the accepted winning block and what becomes the stale block(late/loser) depending on the candidates race results
i will emphasise this.. OELEO seems to think a attacker pool with XX% of network hashrate has stolen hashrate from each and every pool making each and every pools attempts slower.. im sorry to inform him that this is not how things work in reality.
pools keep their miners. so their work they do within their pool stays the same. meaning if they averaged 2-20minutes before they average the same after.. if they averaged 8-12minutes before they average the same after..
its the attacker pool that has to accumulate its own hashrate to produce blocks within a suitable time to outpace the honest network. meaning having its own hashrate to compete
meaning a attacker pool having 50%, 60%, 70% of the network is not taking 50%, 60% 70% of block shares away from the network each hour.
If you take 50/60/70% of the hashrate away to mine on a different chain, then the remaining hashrate will absolutely find blocks more slowly. You honestly think if 70% of the hashrate disappeared right now to mine a different chain in secret, that the average block time would still be 10 minutes with only 30% of the hashrate remaning?
you need to learn the difference between POOL hashrate and network hashrate...
network hashrate drop does not cause honest pools hashrate to drop.. pools still perform the same work for their block candidate
you really do need to learn the word orphan..
orphan means loss of parent.. its a word in the english language that has existed for centuries
if a parent has never been declared then its just an invalid block.. or in old english 'b*stard'
stale means out of date. (loser of a race)
