Show Notes

In a crazy conversation from last night's meet-up, I learned of discussion of a purposeful re-org, a 51% attack, on the #BCH chain by 2 miners.  After a few hours scrambling to pull details together this morning, this is what I've discovered so far.  Don't miss this Guy's Take episode all about the #Bcash 51% attack!
