Title: [POLL] call all the "time-travel in the blockchain" attack "Zeitgeist attacks" Post by: Lolcust on September 13, 2011, 11:25:45 PM Zeit is time in German
Relevance of Geist is, well, obvious :D And it sounds nifty Title: Re: [POLL] call all the "time-travel in the blockchain" attack "Zeitgeist attacks" Post by: Cosbycoin on September 13, 2011, 11:31:45 PM Not exactly sure why this matters. Point? Lulz?

You mean the Fundamental Exploit of 51% as described in Satoshi's paper or the "attacker with 51% screwing up diff without invalidating blocks"? The former can be sort-of addressed with a clever implementation of licensed mining, I suspect, but that is my bellyfeel nothing more. The latter is solved already, like, at the moment of reset.

You have any intentions of creating licensed mining?
