Title: Satoshi speaks about Bitcoin, 2008 Post by: MoonShadow on November 27, 2010, 04:56:43 AM Stumbled across this post from Satoshi from two years ago, explaining his views on botnets, the double spending attack, and the blockchain attack. According to this, the blockchain attack is just another form of double spend as the attacker would not only have to time his attack but would only be able to capture coins he recently owned.
