RE: Soliciting feedback on pre-emptive methods to protect Hive against a malicious court order ...
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
What about the provision that no more than 4 witnesses from a given jurisdiction can be in the top 20? I think that precludes a court order from any given jurisdiction being able to compel of fork, since 4 witnesses cannot force a fork.

Thanks for the suggestion.
This type of brainstorming is exactly what I was hoping to encourage.
Whereas it takes 17 out of the top 20, a coordinated governmental attack would be so improbable and, whereas government actions are very slow as @apshamilton mentioned, I think some prudent but simple countermeasures would suffice.
Also, limiting jurisdictions would require witnesses to declare their jurisdictions, which would actually aid a malicious government in identifying and targeting witnesses to attack.
This would require all witnesses to disclose their location or jurisdiction, as potentially any witness can get in the top 20 in a matter of one block (3s).
I hadn't realized this brainstorming, and appreciate the consideration.
