Re: What if a large number of miners were suddenly forced to shut down?

95% of miners are suddenly offline.
Be it a new law or an EMP strike. What would happen to bitcoin? Huh

That is impossible to happen and even if it would, nothing impotant would happen Wink

, new miners would rush for free money.

So you are saying there is an equivalent of 95% of todays hashingpower somewhere in a warehouse just waiting for this to happen?

No. I just asked a hypothetical question.
