1  Other / Beginners & Help / Consequences of a 51 % attack? on: March 12, 2012, 08:03:38 PM
Hi!
I'm wondering what would happen if a hacker had control over more than 50 % of the networks hashrate. What could he/she do to the network? Can he move people's funds without their permisson? How long do a hacker need to control the network to make his changes irreversible?

Thanks in advance!
