Comment on How I Accumulated 2M Stellar in Less Than 24 Hoursparent

Comments

People have tried and failed to pull them off.

Evidence? None? Oh you poor dear.

If I had 51% of the Bitcoin network, I could break it. You are once again relying on willful restraint.

The fact you don't realize its the same concept makes me not care what you think, honestly.

I'm not going to bother to reply further.

You're conflating stealing money with breaking shitty systems. You can (and should) break shitty systems without stealing money from people.

You stated: > Why the flying fuck would I show restraint towards a system that claims to be designed for the safe storage and transport of money? You bet your ass I, along with ten thousand others, tried to find ways to game/break Bitcoin. And guess what? We can't, because it's well designed.

If you had gamed Bitcoin, you'd steal real money. Much like the person that claims something exists that can't be found except in his posts...ya, best of luck to you but this is a waste of my time.

Evidence? None? Oh you poor dear.

Evidence is abundant. It would be immediately obvious if someone pulled off a 51% attack, because somehow service would be tangibly disrupted. That's the definition of a 51% attack. Otherwise it's just mining as usual.

If I had 51% of the Bitcoin network, I could break it.

No, you can't. You can prevent transactions from going through, double spend, and cause mischief in a few other ways, but you can't steal other people's Bitcoins or anything of that magnitude.
