I know nothing about cryptocurrency, but couldn't someone use a botnet to bruteforce pass a version of that blockchain that just adds in a person with umpity-million cryptomonies? I mean, isn't that how it works is just "the version of the chain that spreads more is the one that 'wins'"?

I inherited 1200 acres of farmland and it’s a toss up each year whether the government is going to subsidize me for ethanol or pay me to just let the land lie fallow. I’m tired of the farm life and I’d rather just sell everything for 30 million dollars but then my bitch sister would get half of it whereas if I just keep farming I can cook the books to show her there’s little profit plus I use the same books to cheat on my taxes.

Not only that, but the fact is SNAP money goes back to farmers and what not because people are buying produce with the benefits. But yeah, that way they can't buy a shopping cart full of chips if they get a box of lowest bidder processed meat and vegetable slurry.

How can someone possibly live on that?? Definitely not enough money to just buy a small condo in a decent neighborhood and gently caress off doing nothing for the rest of your life.

Evangelicals got into abortion because it was a proxy fight against desegregation. They didn't care about it before, but Nixon went to the racism well and came back with a bunch of voters who will vote for anyone as long as they are sticking it to non-white people in some way. So there you have it, the rationale is the same as literally every other right-wing rationale. Be. More. Racist.

There's attacks you can do if you gain control of 51% of the computing power being used to calculate bitcoin hashes, but it's not something you can do with a "botnet". The calculations for bitcoin are now all done on application-specific hardware built to be able to rapidly calculate cryptographic hashes and nothing else. General-purpose processors can't compete, even if you took over thousands of people's computers with a worm and directed them to calculate hashes you wouldn't come anywhere close to out-computing all the cryptograpy specific hardware out there. Even if you did somehow get control of 51% of the computing power, the most you could practically do is steal from people by reversing your own transactions (this is called a double-spend attack, don't look it up the details are as boring and stupid as everything else bitcoin). You can't actually alter the transaction log and invent a bunch of coins (well, practically speaking you can't, theoretically it's possible to create a new transaction log that has what you want in it, but in order for the network to accept it as real it would have to generate the same cryptographic hash as the real log. Without getting too technical, I'll just say that all of our secure communication is based on the assumption that finding two numbers with the same hash would take eons and eons. If you came up with a way to do that calculation within an ordinary human lifespan then you've just broken all public secure communications and you'd make a lot more money stealing real money from banks and financial institutions rather than counterfeiting dumb internet coins. Well really you wouldn't even need to steal, if you solved that calculation problem you would win the Fields medal and also you could found your own information security company and be a kajillionaire).

duz posted:no stealing coins that way is hard/impossible, much easier to say you are starting a new ponzi and ask people to send you coins Not sure how easy it is now, but back in the days of the old GBS thread some goon said he was doing the most laughably easy ponzi scheme. Bitcoiners were desperate to do something with their coins so it was really easy for even new people on the forum to get small loans. Goon supposedly got a few loans on burner accounts and used them to pay off loans on a "main" account. After a few weeks of building up a reputation as a good borrower, he could get $500 loans and just bail on them with no recourse. He got told to, you know, not brag about criminal activities on the forum anymore so no idea how long it went, but yeah, it's easier to just scam people than try anything too novel.

Literally any new technology becomes a scam magnet in that sweet spot when everyone wants a price but only the early adopters understand enough to call bullshit. Napoleon Hill got his start running the equivalent of a for profit fake coding boot camp but with car mechanics instead of coders.
