Title: 0.45 BTC bounty to kill 51% attack proof BIGcoin (low diff).

I'm responsible for the marketing of this 51% proof coin.

I'm releasing a bounty of 0.45 BTC to anyone who does a double spend attack against this coin. In other words, 0.45 BTC will be paid to the user who unconfirms a confirmed transaction (12 blocks). In another word, anyone who forks the chain from latestblock - 12 and if that fork is selected as the main chain.

Currently the difficulty is very low. It remains between 2 and 4 (Blake algo)

Before you attack, you need to specify in this thread which transaction you will unconfirm one day before you do the actual attack.

This bounty will be valid for 5 days starting from this moment.

This bounty has now expired.

An unclaimed bounty.

Indeed 51% proof.

Actually there is a vulnerability (we call it 'edge attack') which we'll fix in the future; but it's something very hard to commence (practically impossible).
