A 51% attack can make you believe you were paid, while you weren't. Full node security right now validates everything - there is no way you can ever be made to believe something invalid. The only attacks against it are about which version of valid history eventually gets chosen. If you trust hashrate for determining which UTXO set is valid, a 51% attack becomes worse in that you can be made to believe a version of history which is in fact invalid. -- Pieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
