At the cost of *greatly* strengthening aggregation.
Suppose there is currently many makers, all with roughly-equal bonds.
Suppose I were to approach two of these makers, and offer to aggregate thei=
r bonds.
The combined bond would, because of the V^2 term, have 4 times the weight o=
f the other makers.
Thus, approximately I can earn a little below 4 times what one other maker =
does.
I offer 1.5x what one maker does to both of those makers and keep a little =
below 0.5x to myself.
So:
1. I earn without putting any of my money into bonds.
I just need starting capital to pre-pay for the rents.
2. I get to learn a little below 4x more CoinJoins than other makers.
This increases my earnings further since I can sell this privacy inform=
ation, and I also get an advantage compared to other non-aggregating spies.
It seems to me not to fix the root issue, i.e. makers who make for the purp=
ose of gathering privacy information, even if it might fix sybil attackers.
Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
