You could be right. Knowing who owns the pie is currently impossible. Even if it's as you described, it'd still be biased. A more satisfying bias than what I presumed, but I get the feeling that Q wants to look after the grunts as much as the generals, if not more. A completely subjective viewpoint, but there it is. So I think it's a temporary part of the op that will fade away. Obviously just an opinion. By all means, mine away. It's not like I am advising people to stack something else; I'm just skeptical that it's the end solution.

Distributed ledger systems have been around for centuries at least. But tech has definitely made them much more robust. It's a good thing overall.
