| Jan 20, 2018 at 21:41 | comment | added | Nekrataal | The inflation distribution is handled by SCP, and SCP is responsible to do it right (if you not trust scp, you don’t trust stellar). What a pool (or user with more than 54M lumens) does after inflation received is out of scope from “inflation operation”, and should considered like any other payment operation | |
| Jan 20, 2018 at 21:37 | comment | added | Nekrataal | Yes, but your statement is true for every operation in crypto, because you need to access the private key for “steal” the inflation. Btw you are not stealing the inflation, you’re stealing from inflation pool wallet (like user wallet). The inflation operation is not subject to security issues (apart from SCP issues not discovered yet) | |
| Jan 20, 2018 at 21:32 | comment | added | pantheon52 | What you have stated still does not prevent me from stealing all those inflation rewards. The inflation pool can still be hacked, and in this sense, can I manipulate the way those rewards are sent out before they are sent out? And if so can the SCP do anything after it has sent out the rewards already? (i'm talking about the website redistributing it to the wallets, not the voting mechanism. Everyone already voted on the community pool leader) | |
