I noticed, that only two accounts forging last blocks. Can we state, that NODE PoA is easy gamed?
It is easily gamed in a small population just like if BTC had been a second generation concurrency and there was already competition for cryptos it would be easy for a large hashing pool to come in and mine all of the BTC. After the population grows doing this kind of manipulation will become a loosing game, a REALLY BAD loosing game. If people would just keep their nodes logged in after 5 days they would accumulate about 500k node worth of activity and once these guys lost a few of those large transaction fees this would stop. The problem is the pool of nodes is small and people aren't sticking around for the 5 days needed to make this a bad bet. The other thing is if there is enough competition for gaming then it quickly becomes a ponzi scheme in which a few gamers earn the node of the rest of the gamers and then price them out of the game. If you stick around a while this will stop. I also think the Devs are working on a short term solution to this problem till the node pool grows but until the update comes out this is the situation we are left with.
I proposed to Silk to decreace reward to every NODE sent. Now it's 1 NODE = 1 point. So sending 30k I can easily overrun people who had client open for over 8 hours. 90k - and people who are sending no txs have no chances, because points reset every 24 hours (if I understant correctly).
My understanding is the tx points reset every 24hrs but not the time. The white paper was kind of vague on this point (understandably since it was only translated to English not written in English). If you are correct the only way to beat the game is to play, this will remain true even after the pool grows, a very poor structure if you ask me and I will probably not stick around if that is the long term plan. If I am correct you only have to wait it out. We will see, code is not out and Devs will have an announcement on Monday.
