My question is this:
Let's say their are no checkpoints , rolling or coded.
Someone buy the old private keys or at some point just actually owned over 51% of a coin total.
Say they try your attempt , but it was 3 months earlier when they owned coins.
The Blockchain has 3 months of confirmations ahead of them at a rated say 1 minute interval.
How do they ever catch up , with the block height of the main chain, won't they always be ~3 months behind?
* Now if you say it is possible to trick the time setting and somehow condense those 3 months into a day, please provide details or proof on how that is done.*
Because block production has zero cost, and there is no way to objectively verify any given block as being created at time T.
