General (maybe stupid) question: Would it make sense to increase the number of delegates (etc) to more than 101 ? Why not use 10000 of them? Wouldn't that change the odds of having trouble in the network?
a) in BitShares 2.0 the shareholders can decide for the "right" amount of delegates
b) please do not think that more delegates means more security. The reason is that once 51% of all delegates agreed to a chain (signed blocks in a row).. than we effectively have a checkpoint (a state that cannot be changed, i.e. non-reversable) ... with 1000 delegates you will need to wait for 501 delegates to sign blocks .. while with 101 you only need 52 .. taking 10 secs per block ... yada yada ...
c) though, an increased number of delegates would make collusion of delegates more difficult
d) it would not great trouble .. just an inconvenience for the end-user ..
