... but where did all that hashpower go, into a landfill in China?
That worries me (a bit):
More than 54% of bitcoin’s hashrate ~ has dropped off the network since its market peak in May. If someone were to collect all this hashing power, it would be enough for a 51% attack.
So, why did Cøbra not show up? And why does he want to hide his identity?
Allow me to quote gmaxwell:
I’m sure you’ve all read about Craig Wright (Faketoshi) attempting to prove ownership of bitcoin.org & claims he wrote the bitcoin whitepaper & is Satoshi.
Was he claiming that he owns bitcoin.org? Seriously, if he owns, then why isn't he changing the DNS servers of that domain? Or from where the hell he claims the ownership?
He vaguely alleges it was stolen from him. Of course, he's absurdly vague because he knows nothing about Cobra or the history of the domain (beyond whats been posted) he's currently unable to usefully construct any forgeries to support his lies. It's a safe bet that a big part of why he's obsessed with doxing cobra is to facilitate taking the domain by force.
Thanks for that info, was not aware of it.
It's just that I get angry at CSW having a free run at the courts and winning cases due to lack of representation of the Bitcoin side.
