RE: EMERGENCY HARD FORK: Appx. 16M SWIFT WHICH BELONGED TO THE INFAMOUS SMARTNODE EXPLOITER ARE NOW REMOVED FROM THE TOTAL SUPPLY

in #swiftcash6 years ago

Apologies if I missed the explanation, but what is preventing this from happening again on the new chain?

Sort:  

You mean the exploit? It's pretty difficult to do things like that in a blockchain that works based on Proof-of-Stake. The attackers will be need lots of stake and by hacking the chain, they will damage their own investment first.
