I'm discovering alt-coins.
Now, I'm on piratecoin.
{
"blocks" : 34167,
"currentblocksize" : 1225,
"currentblocktx" : 1,
"difficulty" : 0.14348426,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 355,
"networkhashps" : 11127177,
"pooledtx" : 1,
"testnet" : false
}
There is somehow calculated networkhashps, seems it is aproximation from difficulty, it is 11,127,177, ~ 11mh/s. I'm count on my own, 350h/s, however, cgminer show me 180Kh/s. Probably it doesn't counts in getmininginfo or recalculated somehow. Anybody?
I've seen persons with much greater speed, its called mining rig. 20-30 may be 100 GPU in a bunch.
What if such huge miner connect to such young alt-coin network, download whole of current blockchain, and start mining off-line. After 5 hours he come back to network, his blockchain will be with bigger difficulty.
Can he attack network in such way?
Yes, read for example CoinDesk: Feathercoin hit by massive attack
