What if he does it without being detected? There are probably a bunch of wallets from back in the day whose owner lost their key. Take some coin out of those.

There are probably a bunch of wallets from back in the day whose owner lost their key. Take some coin out of those. Then no one knows. Sell it. Move on.
- wmf 4y agoA 51% attack cannot take other people's coins. It can only double-spend coins owned by the attacker and there's no way to do a 51% attack without people noticing.
- pcthrowaway 4y agoA double spend would sort of be taking other people's coins though. Once you revert the first spend, the recipient loses their coins.
- vincnetas 4y agoyes, but you cant take random coins from random walets, you can only take what you transacted recently.
