有一种预感,这是比特币社区的大事儿。专门开个帖子讨论一下。
事情是这样子滴。
今天媒体发现了一篇论文,论文的作者是康奈尔大学计算机系Ittay Eyal和Emin Gun Sirer两位学者。论文指出,比特币网络安全有重大的安全隐患,过去认为比特币网络需要多数人作恶才能被摧毁,但是现在发现必须要更严格的大多数遵守规则才行。根据他们的分析,只需要1/3的算力联合起来作恶,那么比特币挖矿的去中心化特点就会迅速瓦解。

The problem is with how people "mine" bitcoins. Mining is how bitcoins are created. Most people don't mine bitcoins anymore. They buy them or take them as payment. But some people are in the business of mining coins with special bitcoin-mining computers ...
