Last moth, in turn of unfortunate events, Bitcoin Gold (BTG) succumbed to the malicious double spend attack when a miner gained 51 percent control of the network, making it the third altcoin to suffer losses from such kind of attack after Monacoin and Verge.
51% attack refers to an attack on a blockchain, usually bitcoin’s, for which such an attack is still hypothetical, by a group of miners controlling more than 50% of the network’s mining hashrate, or computing power. The attackers would be able to prevent new transactions from gaining confirmations, allowing them to halt payments between some or all users.
