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?

He thing there is.
Seriously all rigs are scatter over the world not on one place.
If there were on one place you dont need EMP you can blow up with any explosive.
