Also, my node receives a miniscule # of bloom filter requests & generally < 10% of the connections are SPV clients. pic.twitter.com/SElbF1UwbZ
I think the authors made some poor assumptions. My understanding is most SPV clients only connect to trusted nodes owned by wallet creator.

@Jeremy_DeGroot @flyosity When they stop buying your units, it’s the manufacturer’s problem. Have to dump more money into R&D.
@Jeremy_DeGroot @flyosity Not exactly; it’s a bit self defeating b/c the more you sell, the ROI of each unit decreases.
@Jeremy_DeGroot @flyosity If you CAN manufacture them, it makes sense to sell if you went into debt to do so or if you think price will drop
@Jeremy_DeGroot @flyosity That’s why ASICs are scarce - there are few fabrication plants churning out silicon for SHA256 hashing.
@flyosity …unless, of course, they use the machines until they’re nearly unprofitable and THEN ship them out.
@flyosity It honestly makes little sense for someone who manufactures money minting machines to sell them to other people.
@flyosity Many have speculated that this is a common practice for ASIC manufacturers who “pre-sell” their hardware.

@balajis To be fair, there is no proof of a leak. Technically, there’s no proof that his account was compromised. It COULD be Satoshi :-)
@TriangleBitcoin Though miners have an economic incentive to ‘censor’ transactions at the moment due to block races & data propagation.
@TriangleBitcoin Censorship is hard to define in such a system; you could claim that miners choosing not to verify transactions is such.
@TriangleBitcoin Seems a trustless system operates by trusting no one trusts anyone, thus we trust everyone will check each other’s claims.
