Question on the likelihood of network partitioning #9

GPAv1 feedback GPAv1 asks: “how likely is it that 50% network?”

Reply The only way to reply to this question is by building a probabilistic model of the network which is an extremely time and resourcing consuming exercise that in the best case scenario just yields a statistical, but non certain, answer as any measurement of the present situation may not reflect the network situation in 1,2,5 year time.
