Hi ,
I read actually a nice article about the PROOF of WORK.
Why no one creates a DDOS Coin? The Miners might be the people who are part of the DDOS and be refunded for this
with Coins. The Site which gets DDOSED Could be for example voted by the community. Someone who wanted to do a ddos
could pay some coins to let it voting. If the Voting got more than 50% than the site will be ddosed.
The Article I read was really interesting, but now i dont find such a coin.
I have never encounter a ddos coin and I don't think there is one existing now,but I don't want to have a coin like that,in my opinion ddos is bad I am a website operator and having a site that's target of ddos is very alarming and can cost you money,why would you do harm to a site ..
I just read this article about ddoscoin
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ddoscoin-an-incentive-to-launch-ddos-attacks/It probably does not require a lawyer to determine the legality of a coin like this. If someone was to implement this cryptocurrency, it could safely be said that encouraging people to perform Denial of Service Attacks for financial gain is illegal.
Then do your homework Rob.. there was one made and a topic for it in this section not long ago.
