RE: How Expensive is it to Take over the (PoW) Network of Bitcoin, Ethereum or Monero? Why We Might See More 51% Attacks in the Future
$200k to make $18 million? Seems like there will be a lot more of such attacks. Is the whole proof of work model now obsolete? Re-steemed.
I don't think the model is obsolete. Other models also have disadvantages. What most likely will happen is that we will see hybrids of PoW/PoS or other consensus mechanisms. Also, within PoW there is still quite a lot of things developers can do to make it more difficult for 51% attacks to happen.
