Disclaimer: Im not saying this its what its happen right now, but its a possibilitie in the near future, so like the wise said " Prevention is better than cure "
I'm a little busy these days and need to find some links before I can post some historical facts about some of the attacks against bitcoin that let's just say look very suspicious... So hold that thought...
Also kinda bored of people describing this as an attack on Bitcoin when people are using the protocol in the correct manner (following the rules).
Wrong. They are not using the protocol, they are abusing an exploit. There is big difference.
Well, nice to see somebody have more info about this.
About the second quoted, man i cant believe some people here saying this its not an attack on BTC, i know maybe its not a coordinate or inittially its not an attack directly against BTC, but now in an abstrac way its an attack.
I dont understand people who say "its not against the rules" yes man, we know that but do you know the difference between law and moral? or do you know if something its legal not always its good?.
Let me explain the point with a simple example:
You live in a street with only one can of trash for the whole street. When youa re gonna drop your garbage to the can, you see the can its filled until the top and you cant deposit your trash, and this keep repeting everyday.
When you start to seek an answer for that, you see a neighbor of you put ton of garbage made by him in the trash can and full the can by only his trash. So nobody in the street can drop their garbage.
Well he is not doing nothing against the rule he its only throwing away his garbage. But you can see its not good for the community and also its not a good behavior.
