Biggest Myth: Bitcoin is Unstoppable!

NgeBlog Now - There is no harm inwards solar daytime dreaming peculiarly when you lot alive inwards the crypto-world. History ever repeats itself. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 monetary monster tin never tolerate to a greater extent than or less other monster inwards its territory but when it does, its solely every bit per its prescheduled will.

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin has a lot of security vulnerabilities but I volition beak over the most possible i hither that fifty-fifty scares Satoshi Nakamoto (Nick Szabo) every bit he mentioned this possibility 3-4 times inwards his white paper yesteryear maxim inwards the introductory paragraph:

NgeBlog Now - The organisation is secure every bit long every bit honest nodes collectively command to a greater extent than CPU ability than whatever cooperating grouping of attacker nodes.

NgeBlog Now - The CPU ability that drives the bitcoin blockchain, comes from the miners. These miners assist to run the system, all the same at the same fourth dimension if all the collective figurer ability of these miners is combined nether the umbrella of strict authorities regulations through ability as well as force, the bitcoin network tin easily live brought nether total control.

Every authorities has extremely skilled as well as good equipped surreptitious agencies as well as all these agencies oftentimes combine ability to accomplish a global agenda.

NgeBlog Now - For illustration let’s suppose bitcoin is non created yesteryear NSA or NSA has lost command over Bitcoin puppets, inwards such case, tin this network endure to perish on NSA away? Is bitcoin genuinely unstoppable? Practically as well as theoretically, NO!

NgeBlog Now - How difficult practise you lot think, would it live for NSA to respect the world’s biggest Bitcoin mining farms as well as exchanges as well as convey them downwards to their knees yesteryear enforcing strict criminal penalties?

NgeBlog Now - But wait! Don’t nosotros already know the listing of biggest mining pools (groups of people mining together every bit a unmarried unit)?

By doing a quick inquiry as well as thank you lot to Bitcoin wiki as well as the raw information from bitcoin network analysis society Blocktrail, you lot tin easily respect the listing of most pop as well as largest bitcoin mining companies, their founder names, locations as well as their computational power.

NgeBlog Now -

NgeBlog Now - If NSA succeeds (which it is capable of) inwards controlling to a greater extent than than 50% of the bitcoin network's computing power, as well as so it tin easily exclude as well as modify the ordering of transactions. This allows it to:

• Prevent all transactions from anonymous people, so everyone has to register with the government, yesteryear providing existent identities inwards monastic tell to transact. i.e. Absolute enslavement.
• Prevent to a greater extent than or less or all transactions from gaining whatever confirmations.
• Prevent to a greater extent than or less or all other miners from mining whatever valid blocks.
• Reverse transactions that it sends spell it is inwards control. This has the potential to double-spend transactions.

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin community oftentimes claims achieving 51% command over the blockchain network is almost impossible because this would quest immense amount of computational power. They intend such because they receive got assumed the assail would come upward from to a greater extent than or less Hollywood inspired hackers or to a greater extent than or less immature excited Chinese/Russian/Korean hackers or at worst the collaboration with unlike governments.

NgeBlog Now - But they neglect to realize that bitcoin mining pools, farms, exchanges as well as online services all operate from planet earth as well as so does local tidings agencies.

NgeBlog Now - Agencies literally don’t receive got to practise much efforts because bitcoin miners are already divided into groups as well as finding these groups as well as bringing them to your terms as well as weather condition is only a slice of cake.

“A 51% assail is impossible” according to every bitcoin enthusiast because they are badly encephalon washed as well as blinded with greed. Such assail is non only "easy" but it has "actually happened twice" inwards 2014, by a mining puddle called Ghash.io.

NgeBlog Now -
Bitcoin currency could receive got been destroyed yesteryear '51%' attack

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin has stared downwards an existential threat, afterwards a consortium of miners briefly gained plenty processing ability to theoretically destroy the currency.

NgeBlog Now - For a few hours on Friday, mining puddle Ghash.io controlled 51% of all the processing power beingness used to perform the calculations that perish on bitcoin secure....

NgeBlog Now - .... It's non the outset fourth dimension the "impossible" assail on bitcoin has been scarily close. In January, Ghash hitting 45% of the network, as well as was forced to "take steps" to preclude 51% from beingness breached.

NgeBlog Now - — Guardian News

If a grouping of miners tin easily accomplish 51% computational power, its funny when they utter the give-and-take “impossible” out of arrogance as well as ignorance. I gauge I receive got shown plenty proof. Show this fact to whatever bitcoin user, the adjacent fourth dimension you lot take away heed him scream “Impossible!”

What would occur to Bitcoin if 51% assail takes place?

NgeBlog Now - The bitcoin network is gratuitous as well as opened upward as well as if such an assail successfully takes place, at that topographic point is no bitcoin potency to halt them from doing so. As a termination the probable confidence inwards Bitcoin every bit currency would live lost immensely as well as it’s value would reject rapidly. What would follow adjacent would live a Bitcoin domino effect, of quickly decreasing bitcoin price, miners quitting the network, bitcoin hoarders selling off their BTC, merchants halt accepting Bitcoin as well as thence the currency getting devalued to over 95% of its value inside weeks!

NgeBlog Now -  

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin’s difficult Fork (exact replica with few changes) called Bitcoin Gold late was attacked with a 51% assail inwards May 2018. Bitcoin Gold confirmed that the aggressor had gained bulk control of the network’s hash charge per unit of measurement as well as used that command to reorganize the blockchain as well as reverse transactions!

NgeBlog Now - Guess what happened next?

NgeBlog Now - [yellow]The aggressor had sent himself over 380,000 BTG worth over $18,000,000 inwards a serial of transactions consistent with double spending behavior. [Source]

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin Gold too uses a secure mining algorithm called Equihash though Bitcoin uses PoW. Despite that security, to a greater extent than than $18 1000000 funds were stolen every bit reported through a successful double pass attack.

NgeBlog Now - Cryptocurrency is ever vulnerable to 51% assail as well as this is why Nakamoto Satoshi (Nick Szabo) warned nigh the possibility of such assail inwards the starting paragraph of his Bitcoin whitepaper.

NgeBlog Now - Wait the even out does non cease here...Bitcoin gilded is non the solely cryptocurrency network hitting with a 51% assail this year. The same calendar month (May 2018) ii other cryptocurrency networks were hijacked with a 51% attack.

• A miner succeeded achieving 51% of the network’s hash charge per unit of measurement to manipulate ii of Privacy-centric cryptocurrency Verge’s (XVG) 5 hashing algorithms to maliciously mine to a greater extent than than 35 1000000 XVG, worth $1.75 million inwards only a few hours.[Source]
• Japanese cryptocurrency Monacoin was too hitting yesteryear this major assail afterwards a miner gained every bit much every bit 57 portion of the network’s hash rate. The assail caused a fiscal harm of over $90,000. [Source]

NgeBlog Now - Such ‘secure’ are these electronic currencies of the future....

NgeBlog Now - I telephone recall Bitcoin every bit the mother of all scams because it has perish the purpose model for people to practise money out of sparse air as well as convince thousands of innocent investors to pour their difficult earned money into something that is nix to a greater extent than than only to a greater extent than or less vulnerable figurer code or software to live precise.

NgeBlog Now - Bitcoin’s massive mining hashing charge per unit of measurement may audio secure but solely for the fourth dimension being, the mining pools receive got non come upward nether the influence of surreptitious agencies. It is every bit per the volition of NSA, what has it planned for the hereafter of its sponsored Bitcoin.

51% assail tin drive plenty panic inwards the bitcoin ecosystem that people could ultimately halt using bitcoin every bit currency.
