51% Attack Stream
On Oct 13, 3:00 CDT I will be doing a 51% attack against a relatively large cryptocurrency (to be announced at the time of the attack) as well Einsteinium (in order to do a real world test of the Komodo Platform mitigation system).
The reason for this is twofold:

To show how easy these attacks are and perhaps be something of a wake-up call to small coin to adopt mitigations to these attacks.
Educate people on the nuts and bolts of how these attacks work and discuss possible mititagions.
