Maclin isn’t the first person to try and break the Bitcoin network. An exchange called Coinwallet.eu previously threw $48,000 USD in Bitcoin to the winds in an attempt to fill the network with tiny spam transactions and slow things down for everyone. By comparison, however, Maclin’s attack was extremely cheap, simple, and effective.
Instead, Maclin wrote that he has serious gripes with Bitcoin, centering around well-documented concerns over the ridiculous amount of energy the Bitcoin network consumes. “The main thing is that bitcoin network spends much more resources (electricity, hardware, human efforts) per transaction than current centralized systems,” Maclin wrote. “Bitcoin exists now, because of bubble-ponzi scheme.”
Whatever everybody else thinks about things like the recent debate over a code change that divided the Bitcoin community, it’s the core devs who ultimately do the work. It’s “strange,” Maclin wrote, that Bitcoin users expect the devs to do everything for them.
Was meint ihr dazu?
Weiss jemand von euch wie es um den Fix der malleability Sache steht?
Komisch, dass sich viele an dem Stromverbrauch stören.
Da gibt es deutlich sinnloseres...
