I am so hungry. For example, I posited a way to continually increase the difficulty by always structuring the attackers blocks to make the fastest block solutions in the discarded 20% set, thus skewing the statistics of the hashrate. I wrote the caveat that I hadn't studied the implementation to see if this was feasible.
I have an admittedly basic understanding of cryptocurrencies.. but can you please provide a little more detail into how this might be possible? Wouldn't you only know the fastest block solutions after the fact?
