Thanks for posting this. Great video, it should be required viewing.


Edit: maybe blockcypher was behind the attack.

Avoid the XT shills, they only want to destroy bitcoin, their hubris and greed will destroy us.

What massive attack? Someone dumped $5000 per day down the drain to prove that Bitcoin can in theory handle 200 tps. {Backlogged}

They most certainly did not bring Bitcoin to it's knees and in my view it was just a failed attempt to bump up transaction fee's or to promote bigger block sizes.

We will never know, who it was or what their intention was for sure, but it was not very successful.  If they want to throw money down the drain, let them do it.  Tongue
