Hi Memo. Would love to see token ID and token icon added to the token pages so it's very clear in what a user is buying (& if it's real or not). Please let me know if I can help in adding that.
Good idea with all this useless tokens mushrooming all over the place.
A malicious pool can pay to rent the POW by whoever has the general purpose HW and do what they want with it, there is no need to actually own any hardware, ASIC or otherwise to get-
-Majority POW power, all it takes is paying above market rate to rent the hash in a pool. There is no way around that. However, there are non-51% attack reasons why ASICs are bad.
I think this attack would be way too uncertain. This is why banksters choose to subvert Core and the communication channels.
I agree that it is not a good attack, it is expensive and seems criminal from the outside, and does not ultimately give the ability to bend the coin in a desired direction.
