How do you use 51% of people? How do you determine that someone is a different person from someone else online? Are you going to collect everyone's IDs? Who is going to store those IDs?

Determining individuals is basically impossible to do and is easily gameable by individuals such that some people get more power than others without those others necessarily knowing.

Also, Bitcoin doesn't use 51% mining power for anything except 51% attacks.

filesharing, take a picture of your eye/fingerprint, gg wp. (it is already built into the ardor/bitswift network) The filesharing can check for dupes on the blockchain, so you can only have 1 account, in theory.

here is a eye captcha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4x0vOAu0lQ
you can do the same with fingerprint

here is the file sharing https://youtu.be/Y7TLFyK_3Pk?t=965 I explain it briefly in this check out www.bitswift.network wallet (login top right).  p2p exchange, file sharing, decentralized voting, asset creation etc.

Have you forgotten when FCC flooded themselves with fake comment which don't support net neutrality?
Imagine what would happen if "51% of the people" system is used to run Bitcoin network (or any government activity) Roll Eyes

51% of the total people on the network may not amount to 50%> of the total hashing power, it depends on the amount of energy being expended and computing power.
The idea is not to use any or launch an attack on the network.

51% of hashing power is also 51% of the total energy.
Energy is something valuable in our world, and will continue to be for as long as we can foreseen.

It is very plausible that the secure of the network is based on that.

51% of people doesn´t make much sense, as you can´t be sure if people are real, like achow101 said.

As I read somewhere in this forum, democracy is vulnerable to 51% attack. People can be bought and manipulated.

Hashing power is for hardwares not for humans.

It doesn't matter how many people there are or how many machines you are running. What matters is how powerful these machines are.

Title says it all

Why is using 51% hashing power stronger than using 51% of the people on the network?
I don`t think it is.



Why not use 51% of the people on the network instead of 51% of the hashing power? in a new Crypto  

I guess fiat morons would just dominate it anyways without time as the medium of exchange same as the current system but instead of buying computers they just buy people.
