There isn't much that can be done to stop these accounts from sucking up the commons other than downvote any rewards they get.
Oh, there is LOTS people can do ....with just a little organization, and the will to do it....
Hive is sitting on a double sword - which also happens to be set in a foundation, that's built on sand.
I'm all ears.
How do we stop those accounts from reaping the pool?
Leak their IP and MAC address combos to the dark web with a paragraph explaining the weaknesses of the hive keys and the estimated accountant value of each IP and Mac combo.
That might do it.
Hijacking accounts happened real early on the chain, they changed how keys were made and restored the stolen accounts.
If that will work, it would be nice to know now, and not after an attack.
Well Blocktrades is legally required to log that info and guilty of crimes if they don't have that info.....
So we can do a compliance check on them to start, if they pass then I'd say we have to make our own Hive front end and we would also be legally required required log that info....
It's not an easy line to walk.
The odds of them coming for us are not that good, there aren't enough of them.
Nothing in the interwebz is private.
It doesn't forget things that we do forget.
If they wanted us all they have to do is come get us.
Everybody is a felon at this point.
Even if only in court, a ham sandwich couldn't get a not guilty nowadays.
If the consensus is distributed widely through many jurisdictions the blockchain currency will not be considered a Security. If there is a consensus amongst any group of people on the network who have influence over distribution (or financial options for trading) they have expectations of them that are cut throat and unforgiving.
Being unwelcoming to any group of people on a network is setting the pace for a securities auditor to perform an audit of the blockchain and they will not like what they see with the new users spamming twitter with false claims about investment and being paid to blog.
Meh, it would be barbara streisand all over again.
I know there is more centralized stake than they let on, at one time stinc had 80% of the coins, an audit would just help the rest of us.
The sec won't be able to shut down the tech, unless we let them.
You don’t understand 90% of what you write. Stop embarrassing yourself.
