It is CIA starting 51% attack.

It is their new data center in Ashburn, VA, near Langley, VA.

Could this be the end of bitcoin?  Lol too dramatic, but when the CIA takes over...

doubt they could do a 51% attack though, could they?
The government could do anything
Heck they created the encryption standard that bitcoin uses
They're not persecuting bitcoins or anything though
Otherwise coinbase wouldn't be open for business

Funny that people have no idea what a 51% attack is.

IF a 51% attack occurs you will see no increase in hashing power.
If a 51% attack occurs the attacker will generate 100% of block.
If a 51% attack occurs there will be a long (at least 6 block) reorganization.
If a 51% attack occurs the new chain will replace transactions of an existing chain.

51% = boogeyman for clueless Bitcoiners.
Bad crop harvest = must be the 51% attack.
Bitter winter lasting longer than normal = must be the 51% attack.
Downpour on the eve of a battle = must be the 51% attack.
The king has no sons and five daughters = must be the 51% attack.
Thank you... My thoughts exactly.
It was funny months ago. Now it's irritating.

They discovered 3 blocks in one ten minute period, and another 3 blocks in a 14 minute period.


My bad, guys. I left one of my block erupters on the Heart of Gold.

Haven't read all posts here yet but iblocklist may help you out.

If this is true we may get very cheap Bitcoins for a while (assuming I understand the consequences of this right).
