People are always saying it would take hundreds of millions of dollars an hour to attack the network. In fact it could essentially be attacked by simply using it for what it was designed for.
Well, as it turns out the biggest vulnerability with Bitcoin Core is just using it. This is because the more you use it, the more you cannot use it... I mean transaction fees are already through the roof and lots of transactions are being dropped from the mem pool.
You can basically DoS attack it by submitting a couple dozen transactions... The blockchain basically performs a DDoS on itself just from regular use. How crazy is that?
I wonder if that can be submitted as a bug bounty?
