@NickSzabo4 unless they are a super powerful like the permissionless block chain of Bitcoin.

@NickSzabo4 damn, I stand corrected.Any remedy? -
@MyTsonictsunami Need more variety and redundancy in random gossip "broadcast" protocol, which may mean _smaller_ block sizes. -
@MyTsonictsunami OTOH reducing variety and redundancy by increasing the blocksize makes Bitcoin more vulnerable to this kind of attack. -
@NickSzabo4 are side chains a possible answer? -
@MyTsonictsunami Sidechains don't address this problem. -
@NickSzabo4 smaller block size seems to be at odds with where core devs want to go. -
@MyTsonictsunami Core devs representing over 90% of commits want block size increases to be slow for this and other good reasons. -
@NickSzabo4 10-4, thanks for the info.
