Unpopular opinion: maybe we should be cheering governments to kill mining because it would put mining into the hands of more plebs.

That’s part of my thesis, if government does kill major mining, and everyone is running a jPro or an S9 or a few or even some Bit Axes, the game changes.

The game changes completely.

If it's just after a difficulty adjustment and we loose 25-50% of hash power suddenly it's blocks every 20min instead.

Been thinking about this attack for a bit

Yeah, but we survived the China ban pretty soundly. Not saying it’d be the same but I know it’s survivable.

Hashrate could theoretically drop to near 0 and it would correct itself, would just take a little while until difficulty adjusted

My old AntMiner USBs are waiting... 😄
