People are claiming that “not a single serious journalist” thinks doxxing @npub180c…h6w6 was unethical. Is this true? Certainly there must have been at least one “serious” journalist who has weighed in… help me out here https://image.nostr.build/2550ded9f4f60f49dc7f5e17e1a6c2d78205bd0f5a795b5322729f0ef2015227.jpg

I have some objections to this analysis.
The "wildly contradictory" arguments that you point to are precisely the problem: Fees could be so high that only rich people can use L1 (plebs sure aren't going to spending $50 every transaction) while at the same time even these higher fees could represent a such a small fraction of total market cap that it doesn't keep things secure.
My understanding of the drivechain idea is that it's aiming to aggregate huge volumes of lows fees up to main chain. It's not clear that it would work exactly as planned, but it does represent a possible Goldilocks arrangements that doesn't fall back onto Saylor's silly "oh but rich people pay to transport art and pay real estate agents 3%" argument. I'm having trouble picturing high value investors needing to settle $10 million a few times a second.
Certainly, we're not relying on high value investors constantly making L1 transaction to keep Bitcoin running?
If Bitcoin where to obtain this sort of global store-of-value status such that trillions of dollars was changing hands every day, handling transactions off L1 would have become the norm. If I'm a rich folk settling $10 million in a single transaction, it's not the security of PoW that I'm most interested to pay for, it would be the handling of keys and this sort of thing that your average Walmart heiress isn't going to be confident with - so this will be handled by boutique Swiss bankers, who would devise their own ways to skimp paying the billions of on-chain fees.
The problem with putting the security assumption on high net worth investors is that they are the easiest to capture, they don't care about censorship resistance. If the blockchain is captured by a monopoly miner or a cabal of corporations, it need not cease to be a store of value, as long as these high net worth investors continue to believe it's a store of value.
Also, no need to pile on to this "VC-backed" ad hominem: Either it's a well-thought out idea (since 2015) or it's not

L1 miners can win sidechain blocks the old fashioned way, by inserting the side chain blocks into the block they find. Or they can use the auction if they want.
It’s good to separate the two BIPs I think 300 might have some decent use scenarios that don’t rely on the shoddy game theory in 301

2023-09-02 19:38:40

Quick comments and summary on the #drivechain discussion between Paul and Shinobi yesterday
Shinobi's argument: It's easy and riskless to reorg the sidechain, so this will happen, perhaps frequently. This is not disruptive to the L1 chain. Therefore there will be a significant discount between the bids for the sidechain block and the nominal value of the sidechain block. This induces L1 miners to obtain the blocks directly, instead of accepting bids from sidechain miners, which are deeply discounted.
Paul: OK, fine, but the discounted value of the block should be near the opportunity cost, so not a huge difference.
My comment: Actually, the discounts and risk of reorg are quite different depending on whether you are an L1 miner or a sidechain miner, have more hashrate than other miners, are willing to collude with other miners, or have deep pockets in to destroy opponents in a dollar auction or war of attrition. Larger corporate miners or coordinated pools have a distinct advantage and can be more aggressive and less defensive in reorging the sidechain.
Shinobi: Now L1 miners who mine the sidechains get a premium over those who are accepting bids. This gives these miners a distinct advantage. In particular small-time miners are unable to run a sidechain node will be left out economically speaking, which tends mining towards centralization.
I didn't quite follow Paul's response, it seemed to me like he was saying, "well that's just how it works" and not recognizing that this would be pushing smaller miners underwater, and that this is a bad thing.
