That the notion of "a majority of Bitcoin nodes" is void of content, most of
the relay network being under the control of the same entity and supporting
functionality not contemplated by the Bitcoin protocol (such as selective
mothballing of specific transactions). This specifically means that "someone"
has the ability to nuke transactions out of the network irrespective of
whether they are validly signed or not, directly replicating functionality
already available to fiat governments in fiat payment processors such as Visa
or Paypal.
That a cartel of Bitcoin miners is deliberately and systematically withholding
blocks for an interval of about 20 minutes to a half hour, so as to ensure
themselves a (significant) advantage over any would-be competitors.
That neither above item makes sense or could long survive without the other,
meaning that necessarily the culprit is one and the same. Note for the record
that an entity controlling 51% of the network (as is by a large margin the
case with the Antpool/F2pool cartel) can safely withhold blocks for an
indefinite period – if a competitor publishes a longer chain all the cartel
has to do is keep mining on its own, eventually they'll prevail.

Witajcie,
Jest GodotEngine, który wygląda bardzo obiecująco.
są jakieś inne opensource silniki, którym warto się przyjrzeć? może coś
lepszego od Godota?
pozdrawiam,
