Ok I admit that one was meant to be obscure bcs of its preliminariness.. basically referring to the fact that DK’s ability have a 50% security threshold despite being parameterless might be unique to probabilistic proof-of-work consensus models. And there’s another (very recent)…

**Michael Sutton Discusses Unique Security Threshold in Probabilistic Proof-of-Work Models**
In a recent tweet, Michael Sutton, a prominent Distributed Systems Researcher and one of the core developers of Kaspa, shared insights into the nuances of probabilistic proof-of-work consensus models. Sutton acknowledged that his previous statement was deliberately obscure, hinting at complex aspects regarding the security features of decentralized systems.
He specifically referred to DK’s ability to maintain a 50% security threshold, which he noted could be unique to these types of consensus models. This observation points to the intriguing dynamics of security mechanisms within blockchain technology, especially as they relate to parameterless systems like Kaspa. Sutton hinted at the potential implications of this finding for the future of distributed ledger technology and the architecture of decentralized networks.
His comments underscore the innovative work being done at Kaspa, where the development team is focused on enhancing the robustness and efficiency of the platform. The exchange around DK’s mechanism sheds light on the ongoing research within the field and the continuous evolution of consensus models.
