Remove 32 Node Providers

Agreed and I get it, but I guess your name is now on it as a supporter though. Kind of hard to take back.

I’m not worried about that. I trust that whatever proposals my followee votes on - no matter how obscure they may seem- are for the betterment of the IC. I did follow CodeGov for years, until it rejected Dfinity’s proposal few days ago to move nodes away from critical subnets. Reject based on geographical coefficient decrease

@timk11

The Nakamoto coefficient is the minimum number of entities (such as countries, node providers or data centres) who would need to collude in order to launch a successful attack. In each of these proposals the regional and country Nakamoto coefficients decrease, and the number of countries containing 3 nodes for each subnet increases, thereby leaving the network more susceptible to attack than before.

And also…

@wpb

I also know that he can jump to conclusions and sensationalize reality with conspiracy theories

Instead of trying to discredit Adam and leave the network in a vulnerable state, CodeGov could have helped the NPs prove that IC is decentralized if it is already. If the NPs net can’t prove that, their rewards ~1.8mil$ a month (estimated) is a bit too much for the service provided. In crypto everything is considered insecure and centralized until someone proves it is not and others verify it. The defense I’ve observed the last couple of days has it flipped, stating between the lines - “We are decentralized until Adam brings evidence we aren’t”

It’s probably not a coincidence: (1325 node providers × node cost ) / 3 ~= DEX TVL. In other words, DEXes are holding as much value as it would cost 1/3 of the node providers to carry out an attack. Attackers would loose as much as they would gain. Instead of that, our canisters should be protected by the value locked in 8y ICP neurons, I believe that was the original goal. The value the ecosystem can hold will be a lot higher. So something has to change. I am sorry if Adam & my comments disturb the peace. Adam so far seems to be the only one who can move things forward on that front. That’s why I am following his neuron.
