Bitcoin also adjust difficulty - but does that every two weeks or so. would it make sense to mine for a sibling for the last block before the difficulty increase while everyone else mines for a child block with increased difficulty? thus having twice the relative hashrate for 10 min every time difficulty increases.
- game-of-throws 4y agoNo, this attack wouldn't work on bitcoin. Bitcoin chooses the chain with the most total work (which is blocks x difficulty), not the most blocks. Else someone could fork the chain from a block sometime in 2009 when difficulty was very low and outpace the rest of the network.
