This is one of the downfalls of a distributed system. You basically need public votes. Without it, instances lack critical information about the validity of votes. You don’t have a centralized system with back door access to monitor and maintain things.

I went with it because I figured it had same peering defaults.

It does, which is really nice.

Doesn’t seem outrageous since mAh are the standard unit for phone capacity.

Your premise relies on two false pretenses:

1. That we have time to calculate how everything works. We don’t.

2. The system doing the calculations is affected by doing the calculations. This creates infinite recursion, which by definition means we can’t actually compute everything

If our universe exists within another universe, the outer universe could calculate and predict everything in our universe, but we cannot do it from within the confines of our own universe.
