Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics
Leicester on Sybil Attacks in Crypto

Unless somebody had enough inside information to see that that's happening.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics
Leicester on Sybil Attacks in Crypto

Now, how would somebody have that information?

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics
Leicester on Sybil Attacks in Crypto

Let's take a random wild eyed scenario.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics
Leicester on Sybil Attacks in Crypto

Let's say that you had, let's say that Dow, right?

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

happened to be led by people who happened to be in direct contact with the CEO, getting information from the CEO, or maybe another different random situation.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

Maybe that Dow was in communication with the HR person or a community person, somebody who was inside, right?

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

They're talking to insiders.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

What if that exchange of information enabled that route where it enabled them to get access to information,

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

not because they were trying to do it but they were given that information and it gave them the idea to then overtake the vast majority of nodes so that they could initiate a 51 attack because in their minds they're trying to protect the chain they're trying to protect people they're trying to keep people safe they're trying to they got the best of intentions they're vigilantes

So that Dow again, and I picked a random state of Wyoming, but it could be any state.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

But that Dow, let's say they set up enough nodes to be able to execute a 51 percent attack because they're thinking they're trying to control.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

Because they're trying to prevent somebody else whose nodes are in, say, South Africa or Dubai from doing it.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

But the point is that the civil attack can impact any project where there is no, we have some form of transparency in terms of who's all the players at the front of it.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

I don't know that there's full transparency in any of them with the node level.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics
Leicester on Sybil Attacks in Crypto

I don't know if that's really fully clear.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

Some are, but not all.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

And even the ones where it is somewhat, you still end up having 51% of tax happened.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

Ethereum classic was a great example.

Crypto Talk Radio: Basic Cryptonomics

My point is that it can happen to any chain.
