Topic: BSV undergoing 51% attack right now!!! (Read 254 times)

Funny thing about BSV is that I think the hate even actually comes not from Bitcoin but from their own father, Bitcoin Cash. It's always funny to see how those people who split off then fought among themselves and discovered on their own how ugly and built on hate and rubbish all their socalled philosophies are. Worthless coin proven super worthless.

If I was a miner or a company having lots of mining power I would be working with others to just 51% attack all these shitcoins in a circle. No need to even hold any of them just short them on leverage at derivatives and then attack. Make profit and move on. Hehe it might even be more profitable than actually mining Bitcoin.

LOL this coin is always getting attacked, the hate is real!
I read like they had three or four re-orgs in the past one week or so.

Pretty tempting, but I think there's no exchange that can process their deposit/withdrawal atm, probably more delisting will occur as well.

Yes, that is certainly possible. Let them fight among themselves, I don't care. 

Could it be the same attackers as the fight for the BCH ticker? I mean, who else has that amount of mining power to make a 51 percent attack.
And they had history of battling just for the ticker symbol.  I'm just speculating but it's possible, right?
BCH is going downward to the ranks and if there is a chance they want to go back up, why not attack the other fork so some supporters will switch to them and they can gain momentum once again. Fingers not crossed.

This type of shitcoins will face such type of attack situation putting malicious nodes in control of more than 51% network power and mine and make changes in block.This was coin which was not supported by many miners and exchanges in the initial days also and was being promoted as scam coins in the market along with others.The prices tumbled down 3-4% but still stands above $130 but not having any interest in them.

BSV is an outright scam supported by an ego-maniac enabled by a sole supporter Calvin. Both of them are the exact anti-thesis of the kind of people that Bitcoiners are.

Bitcoiners are about the cypherpunk ethos. You will see them tackle intricate code and esoteric hobbies with ease but they won't boast to normies and use technical jargon or their achievements to bewilder their audience. A true Bitcoiner/ Cypherpunk will most of the times go out of his way to explain things and make it easy for everyone to understand stuff. (ELI5). As a creed of men and women, they value praiseworthiness more than purely praise. So, when you see someone like CSW and watch him boasting about his achievements, its an obvious red flag that such a person cannot do any good.

BSV is supported by a bunch of exchanges and Calvin who has been defending the scammer all along. Most people who now remain within this ecosystem are either nutjobs are people who have too much to lose by accepting that its been a scam all along.

Its just common sense that if a network can have 14-blocks deep re-orgs after claiming to be based out of patented research and what not, it is simply not worth your time or attention. To anybody still in BSV, my advice would be GTFO till it continues to be propped up and you can get your money.

I wouldn't buy that shit project. It is tainted. It has many enemies and it is in a weak state because of its low hash rate.

You may make huge profits though. It is a bit of gambling. Lots of people made huge money buying shitcoins before. Maybe its your turn to win.

Wrong. Exchanges earn on your fees not by speculating on extremely risky instruments. Short on bsv seams like a 100% win trade but its illiquid asset with centralized supply, highly manipulated with massive pumps that will most likely liquidate you sooner than you will take profit.

Big exchanges that support shorting BSV using derivates:

FTX, Huobi, Gate.io, kucoin, Poloniex, OKEx

Oh well, I'm sure we all know that sooner or later some entity will try to attack any bitcoin clone for that matter. And it just proved that the network is not that secure as compare to BTC BTC. Although I read that it has been fixed already, and the price wasn't affected that much.

I'm just curious as to who is the entity behind this attack, maybe an individual or group of people trying to discredit BSV or its founder. But we all know that it didn't have the support of the community though, so it doesn't matter.

"Attacks on BSV and similar cryptocurrencies are "cheap and straightforward to perform" because they use the same algorithm as Bitcoin but are not protected by a large hashrate"
Kim Nilsson via coindesk

Duh! 🤦

Well, I can hear the sound of many anti-BSV laughing all the way when they learned this news. I have to admit that I also never developed a certain liking and love for Craig Wright and his latest claim for the copyright of the Bitcoin Whitepaper is something beyond me to understand. Now that BSV suffered a 51% attack, maybe this is sending a strong message to Craig Wright to stop making big mess in the crypto industry.

Do you think that any platform offers a short for such kinds of coins? Especially when they collapse. Exchanges are not interested in your profit, so when something is wrong, they shut all opportunities to earn on it.
In terms of hacking, it is not easy to take control under 51% of the system, so it must be a serious hacker who managed to do that. We had better stay away from this project

So all the exchanges may halt the BSV in their wallets for atleast a week from now because previously the same thing happened on coinbase and other few exchanges when the coins faced 51% attack. Surely BSV is going to take an effect which also may affect other coins with low market cap.

I think now is the best time to pull up a chair and break out the marshmallows and popped-corn.  Sit back and relax while (He-who-shall-not-be-named-but-claimes-to-be-he-who-he-is-not) rides in on a Stallion of the purest breed and manages to slay the Dragon, or some other convoluted excuse.

BSV in trouble?

Priceless...  Butter and salt anyone?

"it pays to be good" - in terms of 51% attack - only if you have something to lose. When you attack BSV its free money. To mine BTC you need same equipement. BTC hashrate is 200-500 times bigger than BSV. Means that 0.2% of bitcoin hashrate (one big farm) can jump to BSV for 3 hours double spend as much as they want and come back to mine BTC.




No one cares. -4% is nothing for such bad news. BTC dumped 2.5% that day. BSV is dead and everyone knows that.

This is not a grave news. Majority hate BSV anyway. But this 51% attack is a big threat to other altcoins out there. We all knew whose behind this project and Ive seen countless of haters of their founder.

One thing that could blow is the possible marketcap decrease since bsv is also a top major coin with lots of volume. Traders gonna love shorting during this scenario.

You can read the complete story here. The price is still holding at the moment but it might fall later today. The attack went over 3 hours and all exchanges that received BSV at that time might have double-spent, this is concerning.   

This is compliment news for all the BSV shitcoin and the fake Satoshi enthusiasts who were once advised not to join the BSV but choose to due to the act of profit-making. I think this attack is enough to make people believe Craig frame everything he said about been Bitcoin creator.

Is yet to know but 51% attack is always carried out by a project opponents

Pity😪
Miners ain't tryna be nice
At least they should have maintained thier fidelity
Its pays to be good ..
Some rigid security team should be set
Are these Miners some kinda Tyrant or what?
