You meant to say "threat". This is what threat model is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_model Nobody here discounts governments as a threat. As to the "proper threat model", you can't construct one since your attacker is essentially unbounded. For example, any large government could easily obtain 51% of hash power and then only accept transactions from "certified services". _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
