theoretical threat
what IS that?

Something that looks dangerous on paper

dude, the math checks out. in some cases it is possible for miners to gain small advantages over others with less hashrate.

it's like blocksize. do we need 1 GB blocks now? no, we couldn't fill them if we tried. but devs need to build a system that can handle that capacity in advance of demand. play to win.

similary SM threat ought to be mitigated by design, well in advance of it becoming economically significant.

it's not,
it's a small world.

has NOT BEEN TESTED IN THE REAL WORLD.
in an economic environment.
