Do you have an estimate for how expensive the attack will be? Are you renting hardware from the cloud? Any chance they will hardfork before you can attack?

I'm not 100% sure what coin i'll attack. If people donate I might try for Vertcoin which will be $300-500 to attack. But if I stick with Einsteinium it will be very cheap, maybe $20-40. They could hardfork but I doubt they will. It's also sort of hard to implement a solution that quickly.

  How about Bytecoin? I’m sure if you post an address you’ll get more than you spend in donations.

    Bytecoin would take maybe a thousand, 4 or 5 if we want to get a transaction confirmed in an exchange. I'll do the biggest coin I can I'll put in $50 of my own money If anyone wants to donate you can: bitcoin:18YvVAxEMYxowSYEmWVtY75ZUdKXXk2vQc

  A great site. I made a version of it in python a while back and wanted to turn it into a website but never got around to it. Glad they did it for me but a lil sad I never got the media attention it got :(

    Try CherryPy if you want to turn python code into a website.

      Thanks for the recommendation. For me, making it wasn't the hard part, the procrastination was.

        No problem, I recommend it cause CherryPy will take any object oriented application and turn it into a website, you could make it all RESTful if it makes it easier and just have a jquery ajax client or something to make it stupid simple. Been using CherryPy for years and happy with it.

Jesus Christ, the cost for a 51% attack on Einsteinium is only ~$12 https://www.crypto51.app/coins/EMC2.html https://www.crypto51.app/coins/EMC2.html
