Since this is science please make no discussion about how crypto currency is bad, I think we are all in agreement it's a giant waste of electricity used only for cp and drugs. Let's discuss only ways crypto currency could be destroyed. Would introducing fake crypto currency destroy the value enough to make it worthless, or would there have to be a more brute force method of destroying the program itself or possibly targeting mining rigs with viruses? I'm not a computer expert that's why I'm asking you people.
I'll be honest I don't even think the NSA has the resources to conduct a 51% attack. An interesting route to explore is poisoning the blockchain with illegal material, prompting a state response against miners, but this hasn't really done anything so far, and I don't think the specific theoretical examples outlined in that post are super plausible.
Is it even possible to add an image to bitcoin's blockchain, not gonna argue the morality of putting cp to get the government on it.
yes, apparently
