This is all speculative- but would sending hashes to a website's IP or something be enough to be considered dos?

No I don't intend to DoS anyone. I just wanna know if it can be done.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Sure you can send hashes to some random website. But it's not going to be any different than sending random data. In either case, the effectiveness of the attack mostly depends on the bandwidth you control (and the bandwidth the target has).
