Good morning all,
Custodial solutions are much less worrying because they introduce so
much counterparty risk.
It's more risky to give bitcoins in custody than for fiat money because
there's no lender of last resort. People using JoinMarket in a
non-custodial way will always have a larger risk-adjusted return; The
return for running a JoinMarket yield generator isn't that big anyway to
start with. The non-custodial renting of TXO signatures is far more
worrying.
Also, as described in my other email
(https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-August/017218.html
starting "
Let's say the sybil attacker...") the superlinear V^2 term is essential
to the resistance of the fidelity bond system to sybil attacks. All
things considered the consolidation of makers due to renting TXOs is not
as bad as sybil attacks. Consolidation of makers means that the
privacy-relevant information is shared amongst fewer people than
otherwise, but at least those people are independent (otherwise they'd
merge together). In a sybil attack the privacy-relevant information is
not shared at all, but entirely known by just one person which is much
worse.
