What's to stop other sha256 miners with lots of hash just mining blocks with few transactions in them. This is completely within the rules, they could even mine empty blocks. They can come & go freely. This is my concern. W

Would TAAL & partners just refuse to build on these blocks. Do you see what I mean. These games could be played by people to disrupt TAALs business model.

Other SHA256 miners still dependent only on block reward have a biz model dependent on BTC number go up. TAAL is expecting a bloodbath at halving. They will buy up a lot more equipment during this time via shares. No SLAs live yet, but ill reassess then.

TAAL will snap up more equipment for sure. I'm not worried about it, I'm just pointing out that hash still matters. If you require a certain number of blocks per day to meet your fiat contract obligations, then you require a certain amount of hash.

It doesn't have to be a BTC miner. Could just be a competing BSV miner offering similar contracts who have more hash than TAAL, which could impact fiat based contract obligations. What happens if they miss settlement times. I'm just thinking possibilities.

If TAAL have an SLA with 1-day settlement, they just need one block per day to fulfil that. How much would a competing BSV miner have to up their hash to prevent TAAL from winning a block?

Yes i understood.. but they're already getting multiple blocks on BSV per day. What im saying is BTC hash leaders won't be after the bloodbath. Quite possible TAAL will become a hash leader as well as tx processing leader.

Absolutely. 🤞 they do become the leader in terms of hash. I own a few shares 😉 Let's hope we get a bloodbath. Interesting to see how this plays out. It may take another halving to truly kill BTC. 🤞 this one inflicts the fatal blow & it limps on at best.
