Thanks David. I think have a basic understanding of how the xor space and concensus system works (your Google video is still the best/easiest explanation I think), but the attack Peter Todd was referring to as requiring proof of redundancy seems to be more about whether swamping the network with vaults can undermine this (e.g. if the vaults are on one server, or belong to one entity which might turn them off). This then comes down to the 50% (bitcoin) or 75% (SAFE) resilliance threshold, for which SAFEâs main strategy seems - correct me if not - seems to be to keep bad actors below this threshold. Hence discussions on growing big quickly, Proof of unique human, account captchas etc.
I took your statement about âproof of redundancyâ to be something more than I think it is, which is I think something I already was aware of, rather than something new I picked up and wanted to learn about.
I donât want to draw you into explaining this unless it really is something I havenât grasped and can then use to go and explain to critics including Peter Todd. I followed him up on reddit but he has not responded. I really appreciate you taking the time you do to answer the way you do BTW.
For now if you can just confirm âproof of redundancyâ is not new in the sense I thought, but pretty much as Iâve described here, that will suffice. If not, Iâd love to know more but it can wait!
