That graph doesn't tell me how much it costs to launch a 50% attack. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I want a table with the name of the crypto currency in one column, and the cost in USD to launch an attack in another column.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> but I want a table with the name of the crypto currency in one column, and the cost in USD to launch an attack in another column. Doesn't the cost depend on who you assume the attacker is? The required hashing power doesn't have the same acquisition and operating costs for all potential attackers.
- sanxiyn 8y agoTrue, but even crude order-of-magnitude estimate would be useful.
- mike-cardwell 8y agoOf course, you're correct, but that's just an implementation detail. Each currency would need an explanation of what resources the calculation was based on. E.g, n instances of a blah node on Google Cloud Platform running software x in config y for z hours.
- Zalastax 8y agoFiguring that out sounds like a fun but non-trivial project. Since crypto currencies have different mining schemes one would need to keep track of the hash/$ ratio for each one. I guess the simplest way to do so would be to cross-reference the different mining market places that exists. Do you have other ideas for figuring out the hash/$ ratio?
- mike-cardwell 8y agoYes. It would require a bunch of up-front and on-going work to keep this website up to date. I guess that's why it doesn't exist.
