+ | Don't forget we are dealing with open source software. It’s not as simple as you might think. We can modify the logic but anyone can just change it back by building a custom JAR. For it to be foolproof, the limit has to be **validated** by every single node on the network. In other words, every one of the nodes on the network has to be able to determine if any other nodes have multiple minting keys attached to them, so that they can collectively disallow those minting keys. In practice, this is very difficult, if not impossible. | ||

+ | Proof of work is a viable solution, because each minting account has to include proof that it has used a certain amount of hardware resources to be eligible to be included in a block' | ||

This algo is GPU and ASIC resistant. It shouldn’t really be possible to game it because it’s limited by the speed of writing to/from RAM. So it’s the throughput rather than the amount of RAM. | This algo is GPU and ASIC resistant. It shouldn’t really be possible to game it because it’s limited by the speed of writing to/from RAM.

+ | FYI: This JAR runs proof of work in the background regardless of how many minting accounts there are on the node. So it will run the same with zero accounts as it would with 10 accounts, as it's just a simulation of what happens when proof of work is being done 24/7. |
