Re: WARNING scammer r0ach now shilling for the Monero hoax
I was too sleepy at the tail end of that marathon day yesterday when this debate heated up at the end with 4 against one sleepy one.
smooth et al, you forgot another key point. You argued the high difficulty would only cause the miners to win a block every day ~200 minutes instead 2 mins (assuming the more plausible 100X hashrate attack), but the miners will leave because they become unprofitable (as the block reward doesn't increase but the length of time they need to mine for the same reward increases by 100).
So the your mining hashrate actually drops to 0 also under the attack scenario.
Duh!
PWNED.
PWNED. REKTD.
