My point is that if there is a lot less cpu power on Mars, then the Mars nodes will ALWAYS lose the "create the longest block chain" race.  So the New York nodes will ALWAYS have the advantage. @p{par}

And it is nice to say the New York vending machine "shouldn't accept a Mars coin within several hours,"  but, in my experience, "shouldn't" doesn't cut it.  If the New York candy machine CAN make the sale and keep the coins, it WILL. @p{brk}
