That’s good food for thought. My first guess would be that the superpower that continues pushing hashrate will make a ton of money exporting chips, much like exporting weapons now makes hella money.

What’s your idea?

I'm not sure - it strikes me as our greatest weak spot. Chip manufacturing isn't globally widespread, just look at the problems the US is having trying to bring the ability and skills needed back home - Taiwan is the global leader...if there's war, or trade blockades...

Ideally we'd be able to decentralise the skills and capacity to manafacture chips, but for now, perhaps, stockpiling would be wiser.

In the spirit of decentralization I vote for stockpiling and working on decentralizing manufacturing. I never dug into this rabbit hole. Thanks for the pointer.

Well, if I'm not alone in worrying about this then I won't sleep easier but I'll know I'm not the only one 😆 you're welcome.

That’s the way! If enough people talk about it then smart and rich people will be able to implement Solothurn sooner or later
