General Discussion / Re: Consensus on the list of delegates
« on: February 01, 2015, 11:40:01 pm »
The non-colluding delegates would include the vote transactions in blocks...

Would they still include these transactions if the delegate who is being voted out promised to pay 1 milion dollars if they didn't?

I'm analyzing a situation when delegates bribe other delegates in exchange of keeping their position in top 101. Every rational delegate will accept the money. There can be some delegates who will reject the money but depending on the offered amount the number of such delegates can be less than 10-20-30. In this case the other (majority) will ignore their blocks if these blocks contain voting-out transactions.

What do we get here? We get that if mining is too profitable then delegates may get enough money to "buy" permanent position in top 101. Any expert in Game Theory here?

it would be completely apparent what they were doing.

This what I'm asking - how is it possible? It may be apparent for 100 shareholders who saw their votes not included into the blockchain but not for the other 900.

Votes are included into the blockchain by delegates. I'm curious what may happen if votes are about to fire 51 delegates...

What ensures that the shareholders agree on the list of delegates? If a delegate can be kicked off for misbehavior then the list can change instantly which is hard to achieve in a distributed system.

I wanted to know, what did you mean by 'move ahead'?

To dig deeper into BitShares internals.

I'm trying to find out how BitShares work but some things are not clear to me. Unfortunatelly, these things are fundamental and I can't move ahead without understanding them. Could anyone answer two simple questions, please?

Do the shareholders have the same list of the delegates? If they do then how the consensus is achieved?

Hi, guys. I have come here to state that a lot of nxters don't support the point of view of those who posted that nonsense about great satan. I hope u will forgive them, they became upset when saw that Bitshares' market capitalization had jumped above Nxt's one.
