RE: The Problem with Byzantine Generals
We need a definition of participation rate.
If "100% participation and 21 blocks" means 21 blocks produced in a row with no block missed, when the time is in the middle of a round, due to witness shuffling, the 21 blocks can be produced by 11 witnesses only (one witness produced one block and the other 10 produced two blocks).
Good point, must be two rounds
so 126 seconds?
We calculated odds of attack at one in a trillion so won't change it.

I think it's important that users are able to opt out of the multiple beneficiary payout enhancement scheme if they wish. Otherwise this feature will turn the entire ecosystem into a giant corporatocracy.
I would like to hear your thought about this.
Another issue I have with a mandatory ( non opt out) multiple beneficiary payout is that companies can and most definetely will censor content that was published outside of their website in order to force them to pay the site comission. This feature gives way too much power to corporations and is not in the spirit of steem unless it is OPT IN-OUT ofc.
Sorry to "spam you" but this is important matter. I don't want you to miss it.
EDIT: The OPT in-out option could be accessible through CLI only to ensure that most user give busy a % but the option to opt out should be available to prevent abuse from companies.
