Title: Prevention of the 51%-attack Post by: Schwede65 on December 03, 2011, 02:53:24 PM A little question by a non-coder: ;D
Is it possible to change the code of all currencies that a 51%-attack can't be enforced?

In a worst case scenario we can always point nukes at the server sites identified as primary attackers. ;)

The way I understand it is like corporate ownership -- if you let more than 51% out of your control, someone might buy it up and take over. Since the BTC model hands out "assets" to whoever wants to buy more computers, it's possible for a takeover. Expensive, but possible. |
