Good morning Jeremy,


> Another interesting point: if you use a musig key for your staking key th=
at is musig(a,b,c) you can sign with a until you equivocate once, then swit=
ch to b, then c. Three strikes and you're out! IDK what that could be used =
for.

You could say "oops, I made a mistake, can I correct it by equivocating jus=
t this time?".
Three strikes and you are out.

> Lastly, while you can't punish lying, you could say "only the stakers who=
 sign with the majority get allocated reward tokens for that slot". So you =
could equivocate to switch and get tokens, but you'd burn your collateral f=
or them. But this does make an incentive for the stakers to try to sign the=
 "correct" statement in line with peers.

Note the quote marks around "correct" --- the majority of peers could be co=
nspiring to lie, too.
Conspiracy theory time.....

Regards,
