the reorg-proposal, verify any evidence, and make a judgement or prompt
the end-user for a decision. For example, a phone wallet app may prompt
the user with a security warning, while a refrigerator may accept any
reorg-proposal signed by +½ of the original validators.
reorg-proposal signed by +1/2 of the original validators.
No non-synchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm can come to
consensus when ⅓+ of validators are dishonest, yet a fork assumes that
⅓+ of validators have already been dishonest by double-signing or
consensus when 1/3+ of validators are dishonest, yet a fork assumes that
1/3+ of validators have already been dishonest by double-signing or
lock-changing without justification. So, signing the reorg-proposal is a
coordination problem that cannot be solved by any non-synchronous
protocol (i.e. automatically, and without making assumptions about the
