ahh see what you mean. you're talking hash power. I was talking voting on a forum. yeah... r/bitcoin pulled that shit, counting nodes, shame r/btc is doing the same...
Spinning up dummy nodes is no different than having a bunch of socks "voting" on a forum. Ppl make fun of CSW for ridiculing PoSM but he's 100% correct. "The community" is a myth.
Exactly, that's how astroturfing can indirectly affect the miners. That's why you see these scorched earth Narratives. They're trying to get ppl to sell/buy to influence mining.
