Has anyone wargamed a 51% attack on Bitcoin? How would it go down. What defensive measures could be taken.


Sure ,
it starts with coercion of the top 4 mining pool operators to 51% attack the network and doublespend.

The defense would be spreading out the # of mining pools that together have a collected 51%,
preferable to a minimum of 51 pool operators, however community is clueless and won't do anything.

So the security risk will be there until a successful attack.   Smiley
