North Korea have in fact taken control of Bitcoin in a joint effort with Russia

Jesus, I guess Europe have to join forces with USA to be able to withhold such attack Cheesy

Looks like the U.S. are gearing up to thwart the attack:

Knowing North Korea, they'd probably force their citizens to solve the blocks with pen and paper.

I would be more afraid of china getting pissed off that the bitcoin thing is still happening even though they said "NO!" If they decided to raid some plants, that could suck.

They're such a nefarious bunch of thugs that they will mount a 51% attack and corner the market on bitcoins in no time. We'd better hope and pray that they never catch on to us.

how exactly would they get the computational power to 51% attack bitcoin ?
the chances of north korea overpowering the worldwide btc network would be somewhere
between slim and none imo

they could potentially become a force. Instead of building nuclear missiles, they need to get into mining bitcoins. They are already the biggest counterfeiter of US dollars, what more lucrative than btc mining for them? China's right next door, NK can easily buy up Asicminer's 3rd gen miners. The government controls electricity which comes from hydro dams--but they do have problems with generating electricity. However, it's a cold country, near Siberia. Man, someone send a message to Dennis Rodman so he can alert the Dear Leader to this once-in-a-life-time opportunity!!!

Regular satellite image..

"The 3.2 million residents of Pyongyang receive only 1-3 hours of electricity per day"

And as far as I know, Pyongyang is the only place in North Korea with any civilian electricity.
