The bottom line is that if the attack chain isn't accepted, you still
have your stake age, and there's nothing stopping you from trying again.


And that, in a nutshell, is why deciding chain priority by "coin days destroyed" is a basically broken idea.

It gives the attacker the opportunity to generate more priority in the attack chain, simply by spending the double-spent coins at a later point in the attack chain.
