[POLL] call all the "time-travel in the blockchain" attack "Zeitgeist attacks"

[Lolcust]

Zeit is time in German

Relevance of Geist is, well, obvious

Not exactly sure why this matters. Point? Lulz?

Does GG have plans to address the 51% exploit that exists?

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?

[Lolcust]

Not at this point, but should an actual proposal for a sufficiently versatile scheme emerge, I would definitely consider it.

Why not call it the Apple attack?

Zeitgeist was a shitty movie and 'time-travel attacks' sounds much cooler.

Personally I am going with the time warp attack.
