Thanks for the explanation! I have a few questions:
- how does the punishment work ? Do all nodes see that a malicious actor changed the chain and write the bad ideas in some ledger meaning "these nodes just lost X ETH" ?
- But if the malicious actor owns 2/3 of validators, what does he care what other nodes do ? They effectively control what block is accepted
- is there an advantage to run more than one validator, if you have the money (EDIT: and you don't want to attack the network)? Basically, does having more money gives you more (power, control, anything) ?
