Go onnnn. What is this “loyal network” of which you speak?

That is my cuddly name for “loyal miners” who just mine Feathercoin, and don’t try to coin hop to manipulate the Difficulty calculation.

paxos is a very useful distributed voting, but it lacks one big thing for coins the notions of attacker node that is one of the problem of coins.

someone can setup millions of voting nodes to say yes so win the concensus but those node are attacker node. coin own in POS is a way to minimized this and replace it by who own more coins. the actual POW is who work hard enough to find the solution.

Just saying that distributed consensus with adversaries, however defined, is fairly well researched. I am sure POS or POW can be incorporated. CCs strike me as an area ripe for application.

I’d like to see this happen. While ACP has been something to add security against good old 51% and was something that I liked. It does centralize FTC which I think is ultimately what is holding it back from its true market potential.

Will be replaced by ACP DCP , Is it true ?

I agree. It’s that big chunk of news that will get the nay sayers talking.

How are we coming along with this?

Just wondering if it was all still in the works.

I think, it is still in the queue, but other things cought more focus, e.g. new website and the fluctuating difficulty

For sure ahy. The new site taking priority was the right way to go. The difficulty issue should be the next. After that, eliminating ACP would be next I suppose.

ACP should not be eliminated. Only the number of trusted ACP centers should increase.

One step towards decentralisation is better than none. Personally though I’d like to see it entirely decentralised.
