will do a deep dive on griefing factors [Track 2]

This event took place on Thursday, March 31, 2022 at 6:00 PM UTC.

Will discuss griefing factors, a notion introduced by Vitalik Buterin related to sabotage that considers attackers that are willing to "grief", namely lose money themselves in order to harm others. A griefing factor measures the amount of harm that such a grief accomplished compared to its cost. I will analyze examples of griefs in prominent cryptoeconomic systems and present mathematical properties of griefing factors with a focus on the degree to which design choices can be made to reduce the risks of griefs.
