same with Credit Cards


from the video above it states each transaction is verified by a miner so wouldn't any hackers just need a server acting as their own miner to get their transactions through? (even if they cant pass all their transactions through their own server) and to better get their fake transactions through get enough servers together so that they can "verify" the majority of bitcoin transactions?




anyway seems neat but way too early




edit: or if the coins are truly secure and limited; couldn't they feed their own servers with the necessary information to mine coins so that they get the majority of the coins available?


i dunno
