DDOS some of the biggest miners while simultaneously deploying a large force of compute power to exceed the 51%, even for a few minutes?
This is my best guess, and I'm legitimately curious if it's a believable threat.
- akvadrako 9y agoThis would be difficult because the hash rate doesn't change dynamically every block, so you'd need to make up all the hash power of the DDOS'ed miners. But you could just do the DDOS, then blocks would stop being confirmed and the value would plummet.
