I literally don't understand how a small pow blockchain like this hasn't been 51% attacked yet, maybe as it's not yet listed on crypto51.app or something?
It's worrying to think how little it would cost to do an attack, it's a shame as this used to be a solid community project. It's ripe for another community takeover imo.
May I offer that the information on crypto51.app is not entirely accurate, neither in detail nor in principle. Do take a closer look and you'll spot plenty of inconsistencies.
I assure you that in case of Zero there are both logistical and technical reasons why such an attack is not feasible. Zero is the pioneer in unique parametrization of the Equihash algorithm, since its very launch two years ago. We are in communication with other members of the Zcash and Equihash ecosystems, including those that have been attacked, to investigate independently every detail and evaluate mitigations that have been put in place since.
Zero always has been and remains a community project, fully open sourced and constantly in search of contributors of every kind. Having been involved for twenty months now, I feel that the current team is the most committed and experienced. Join us on Telegram if you have further questions or would be interested in pitching in.
Tearo.
Regardless of the accuracies of crypto51.app and available nicehash, with such a low hashrate in comparison to equihash coins that have been 51% attacked, I fail to understand how a decentralized pow blockchain can be resilient to this, unless it incorporates pos for example. Could you elaborate on the mitigation put in place? Thanks, I'm not a Telegram fan.
