What "serious questions" about Drivechain #BIP300 have gone unanswered? Not necessarily a question for OP, but for anyone.

I think the biggest questions have long been answered. Whether the answers are satisfactory or well-understood is another matter (and given the lingering confusion/concerns about SegWit and Taproot I think we should keep in mind that there will always be stragglers here).

My attempt to explain why Drivechain's 51% attack problem is unlikely to be any more a concern than 51% attacks are today:

That said, there are certain minutia/nuanced details/edge cases that I think there's not yet consensus on. I don't know the degree to which not having consensus on these could be considered showstoppers, but worth pointing out and discussing anyways. Here are a few from me:

Are there scenarios where BTC users should allow/tolerate miners stealing from hashrate escrows? e.g. if a Drivechain is "harmful" or "unpopular" and users aren't taking their coins off it.

I say "never", @Truthcoin says "sometimes".

If a drivechain suffers a persistent chain split, which chain should BTC users allow/tolerate miners processing withdrawals from?

I think the OG chain should be the de facto legitimate chain, but this might have to be decided case by case (increasing potential for disagreement).

If the miners attempt the unthinkable, stealing from a hashrate escrow, should Drivechain-interested mainchain economic full nodes use the 3 month long withdrawal window to try to coordinate a mainchain UASF to stop the theft?

@Truthcoin & I say "yes", @zeropassio says "never".

(The drivechain community is much bigger than the few people I mentioned in this thread, I just don't want to speak for others without certainty. Also, 240 characters.)

Any other questions/concerns about Drivechain #BIP300 or blind merged mining that I didn't ask here or aren't answered in the resources I linked a few tweets upthread?
