The article explains most things very nicely but I have questions on two specific points mentioned by the author. I hope someone can explain me this:

  1. “BC can not die because it has EDA”

- In my understanding, even if BC has EDA but there are no miners to mine the coin then isn’t it possible that BC will still die?

2. “Hostile miners are mining BC to keep the hashrate above 8% to prevent the EDA to kick in. An attack like this, however, will only postpone the DA to 2–3 months maximum”

— If the hashrate is high doesnt it mean more blocks will get mined in a given time? In that case, doesn’t it mean that 2016 blocks will be mined faster and DA will come quicker than expected? Can you please explain why do you think DA will get postponed by 2–3 months if the hashrate is high or above 8%?

Thank You
