alt Hacker NewsNo, I'm saying it's not clear at all who is in a better position. I'd even argue that the miner hiding his block is in a worse position.
But I'll stop discussing that with you. It's pointless and you're way too condescending.

That's just an intuition. You keep saying "having a headstart doesn't help, because those are independent probabilities". Which is wrong: having a headstart does help. How much does it help, and is it worth it? That's the whole question. And it would require more work to answer it.
