Proof-of-power (and PoW/PoS) as state without statism

in #proofofpower7 years ago (edited)

More state, not less state. I have made some posts about exactly that, "bitnation" used the "stateless" concept, I never have, and have now distanced my work from "bitnation" for that reason among others. Blockchains are clearly state technology, as "network-states" they have in theory more state than nation-states ever could have because they run on computers + mathematics/cryptography without biases. The Nakamoto consensus around a permissionless ledger is state without statism, what Paul Emile de Puydt defined as "panarchy" in 1860.
