Does Bitcoin use Tor?
Tor provides anonymous connections that are strongly resistant to both eavesdropping and traffic analysis. Bitcoin can run easily on the Tor network.
What is a Tor attack?
The attack tricks a user's web browser into sending a distinctive signal over the Tor network that can be detected using traffic analysis. It is delivered by a malicious exit node using a man-in-the- middle attack on HTTP. Both the attack and the traffic analysis can be performed by an adversary with limited resources.
Is 51% attack on Bitcoin possible?
Is a 51% Attack on Bitcoin Possible? The Bitcoin blockchain could suffer a 51% attack by a very well-funded attacker, but the cost of acquiring enough hashing power to do so generally prevents it from happening.
How does a 51% attack work?
A 51% attack occurs when one or more miners take control of more than 50% of a network's mining power, computing power, or hashrate. If a 51 percent attack is successful, the miners responsible essentially control the network and certain transactions that occur within it.
