RE: Double-spend Attack on some Proof of Work Coins stopped by Bittrex

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Anybody care to go into more detail on explaining a double spend/51% attack? Interested in knowing more for sure. Will do a little digging myself obviously.

Sort:  

Nice that you got interested, read here for start - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Double-spending and then go digging more in google

Will do! Thanks so much. Down the rabbit hole I go :)

See you in few days haha.
At least its weekend ;)

Hahahah, I need to avoid too many rabbit holes this weekend. Heading out to Italy for the next couple weeks...Wife probably won't like my face in my phone screen ;)

What you can do is to get a beanie, a bluetooth earphones and a pair of sunglasses. Put all your research into a big word document, do text-to-speech and just listen to them on your earphones that are hidden underneath your beanie.

Oh and the pair of sunnies is to hide your eyes when they become wider with excitements...

Hahahah. The public will have no idea im learning about blockchain...instead they'll wonder why this crazy guy keeps having his mind blow lol

Yep, that wiki article cleared everything up. Thanks again!

Thanks for providing the info about double spending, makes more sense now
