- Non-segwit transactions require 51% of the hashpower and a private key to steal. Segwit transactions just require 51% of the hashpower.
Just the first line in your post sold it for me. What in the actual fuck.
Hmm. Where have I heard that before?
51% attacks require nothing more, and they can do anything....ANYTHING.
They can make every bitcoin address contain an mp3. The whole discussion about Segwit is bollox.
Of course if you are running a full node you wouldnt accept the mp3 invested junk, but then, non segwit people dont run nodes, they rely on miners.
Blanket statement is ignorant falsehood.
