Sorry. I understood you wrong. You mean they only mine blocks with transactions from certain addresses?

Yes this would be technically possible. But I guess the blacklisted ones would convince the miners to include their transaction by the height of the fees. In longterm only an open market will keep bitcoin mining profitable. A state has other measures to keep us in line than using valuable real energy to do so.

mmm 🤔 make sense. thanks for answering

Thanks for the zap.

i also found this video interesting about #quantum computing being a threat to #bitcoin

Quantum Computing is a threat to everything. Nuclear codes, bank accounts, power grid etc. But when shit hits the fan I think bitcoin has the best properties to adapt to it fast.
