with pooling protocols to phase out the artificial centralisation.
So how is the level of decentralization measured? I see many claims on
this list that such-and-such action will increase or decrease
centralization and sometimes people talk in absolutes such as something
being decentralized or centralized. Some of the arguments seem to make
claims without providing any kind of analysis or explanation.
Nothing is truly decentralized and decentralization is just an
approximation of having a collection of centralized systems interact in
some way. I would suggest coming up with some sort of metric so these
discussions can start from a baseline when discussing changes.
