TTAv
(Time Travel Attack Vector)
I'll try not to take much of your time with this Idea:
Inspiration:
I Play an Old game, called OGame (ironically), for 20 years now,
and I developed and attack there called TTA...
Introduction:
BTC and Blockchain are two interesting concepts...
But I think BTC is in fact a trap...
And Blockchain is the main player here!
So:
Let's say, we've been mining BTC for what? 15 years... and now we have (A LOT) more performance then when we started...
What's stopping us NOW, from re-riting the Blockchain from the genesis block, with 'new' valid blocks?
and come up with a longer valid chain?
Let me Explain:
Say you have COIN1, that has been capped on performance untill now...
But NOW you can go BACK, and re-mine those first blocks at a lower 'performance cost', and still make them valid!
You could create a longer, valid, accepted chain than the one we have now...
I'm assuming all software clients have a preference for the longest valid chain from the Genesis...
I'm also assuming we coud "fake" some information along the way, and still come up with valid Blocks... like:
- Timestamps
- Transactions >> blocksize
- etc...
So my question is:
Is this too far fetched?
Or do you see this as a problem too?
Take Care,

Oh a Nakamoto but their Yasuke! I think you should go back playing your Ogame and let bitcoin be. It's better for everyone. You just invented something out of thin air, in order to do that, the entire bitcoin community should agree on the new valid chain which would mean the entire bitcoin community are criminals stealing bitcoins and cheating, that doesn't make sense. And if the entire community (consensus) is not on agreement, a fork will happen rendering the new cheating chain a total shitcoin like bch bsv etc.😉(Time Travel Attack Vector)
