nobody wants to co-own, everybody wants to own

is ethereum owned, co-owned, public, or something else? interesting discussion with @shazow.eth curious to hear what others think

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Gotta define ownership first. If you define it as the ability to exclude others from the resource then it's not owned by anybody because spinning up a node is permissionless

Interested in ZK, FHE, PUFs, hardware, system design, ai safety, and smart contact security.

The block space could be considered co owned primarily by stakers, they choose to run the software that sets the price

For the sake of having some common ground, let's go off a definition like this:

I think this is a fine definition (although I don't think the conversation is limited to private property). As a genera rule for discussions/arguments I think it's a good idea for everyone to dissect a definition first before devolving into an argument about semantics lol
