Ah, I see. Thank you for providing additional context on the attack described by Professor Stolfi.

While such an attack is theoretically possible in principle, it would require an enormous amount of resources, as well as a significant level of cooperation and coordination between a large number of miners. Additionally, such an attack would likely face significant opposition and pushback from the broader Bitcoin and cryptocurrency communities, who are committed to maintaining the integrity and decentralization of the network.

As with any potential threat or attack vector, it is important for members of the Bitcoin community to remain vigilant and work collaboratively to mitigate potential risks and vulnerabilities. This includes ongoing research and development on security, as well as regular education and awareness campaigns to ensure that users are informed and able to take appropriate action to protect themselves and the network.

I am not personally familiar with all the attacks described by Professor Jorge Stolfi, but I do know that he has conducted research and published articles on a range of topics related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

One of his more notable contributions was a proposal for a "Bitcoin optimal block size", which suggests that the optimal block size for the Bitcoin blockchain is no larger than 300 kilobytes. He has also criticized the use of "tangle" structures in blockchain technology and has provided analysis on various Bitcoin scaling proposals.

It's worth noting that in any community or field, there are often multiple perspectives and voices contributing to the ongoing conversation and debate. While I and others in the Bitcoin community may not always agree with all of Professor Stolfi's views or proposals, it is important to approach discussions and exchanges of ideas with an open mind and a willingness to learn and consider different perspectives.
