What you Seem to ignore is that my aspiration is to fix the flaws and come up with a Better system and you Seem to focus on the past and currency Which is just a small part of the picture. Control of nodes is just a reference to some current implementation details. DAO was also just bugs exploited. Being able to alter the current State of the Ledger doesnt make it invisible that you did it, or prevents others from not agreeing with you.

Im thinking about civilations destroyed or Winners of war rewriting history, or powerfull companies and poltiticians covering up information that was already out there... eg recently we found out its easy to delete from waybackmachine. If you cannot Imagine we Can build true decentralized tamperproof systems or could ever have a neeed for one i suggest you study human history.

None of these are engineering or technical problems. They are all extremely complex meatspace-based problems that get solved (if they are even solvable at all, or even actual problems) well outside of the realm of computer code.

Bitcoin and Satoshi's Glorious Blockchain is, was, and always will be a solution in search of a problem.

Sorry i dont believe that. Its the only place it can ever get solved if at all. Putting trust in people has so far proved to be flawed. Again had you made eg waybackmachine immutable then we hadent seen recent discussions about who Said What. Again look at eg bittorrent... how succesfull have copyright holders Been at preventing filesharing...

In regard to bitcoin it works pretty well for a lot of things and not so much for others. Just as everything. Personally it served me well.

And Having background in lottery abd payment industries i Can tell you we are already using it.. current systems are a terrible mess Which Anyone who ever had to implement against visa mastercard banks etc can tell you All about. Private blockchain ledgers like in the mentioned corporations is already in use and even more in the future.

Admirable goals but lots of us have aspirations. You need to demonstrate how your suggestions can actually help, and at this point, explaining it is not enough, you and your community need to stop talking about it and actually do something. No other software requires so much vocal defense.

Yes because pow is all there is and Will ever be. Research have stagnated. The time is up and if we don’t show results now we never will.
