Which makes me wonder how easy it would be to take over the network. Buying 30,000 RasPi is reletively inexpensive.
What’s stopping say Michael Saylor buying them and tacking some poor bastard with setting them up, then propose a massive change in the network. I think a lot of people believe it only takes arguing on X…
That would be a hard fork. The 20,000 OG nodes would keep chugging along with the OG Bitcoin. And the new Bitcoin doesn’t have the numbers to compete and probably other compromises.
Maybe but I’ve never seen much discussion about a bad actor (not Nicolas Cage) attacking the network in such away.
I mean you’re right, the original network would run but it could be as niche as BSV…
