RE: Crypto's Achilles Heel 51% Double-Spending Attack Possible on Some Blockchains, Like BTG

This definitely is a little bit concerning! Doing this seems like it would require a great amount of technical knowledge. I was reading a Bitcoin paper recently that talked how a 51% attack could happen! I would imagine as cryptos grow in popularity, they will be under increasing attacks such as this!

Sort:  

I think the more popular they get, the more complex it gets for certain PoW like Bitcoin. To attack bitcoin is harder and harder as the having makes the hashing more complex.

Yeah in order to get 51% of the hashing power, more servers will be needed making it harder to attain that threshold!
