Research Questions

  1. Does withholding blocks to increase the finality window and increasing the number and length of reorgs is Profitable or not?
  2. Does withholding blocks to increase the speed bound of consensus and then mining blocks very fast is profitable under a set of blocks with similar CPU speed?
  3. If the set of validators have similar speed but one node buys a new faster CPU that is N% faster, how much time he has a profitable miner until the consensus adapts to this new speed? What is the lowest price of rewards when this investment in hardware is profitable?
  4. Does a forced fork like a Chinese Firewall, the network splits into 55% and 45% of the nodes on each side of Internet, affects the Consensus? Can the two forks be reconciliated again?
  5. After Bootstrap period, how fair is the protocol? how much it diverts from equal rewards chances for each proportional stake size?
