Whoa. Must be some pools out there.
It's actually an attack, the actual hash rate is much smaller.

I have 1PH to throw at it, how could I stop the attack? I've pondered this a bit but curious of others take on the matter.
That’s what happens when no coders become vibe coders
Ideally, you would reorg his blocks out and make the network progress as it should.
Fabian has a [PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31117) that allows you to reorg them. However I couldn't get ckpool to work with it. I've been meaning to write a proxy myself for a while, but never find time 😂
Will look. Needs sv2 support so may be tricky.
Wondering how much hash is necessary to accomplish this. 🤔
I think 1PH already achieves a lot, this can find one block every ~3h. You can reorg a lot of them out
Word. I'll give it another go tomorrow. Was debugging some Sv2 stuff today.
Hashing to a modified Sv2 node with the TN4 spam stuff on.


Nice!!!!
It finally dawned on my why this works. Since they have diff 1 blocks in their chain if I ignore and find a fat work block, I become the chain with most PoW.
It didn't click for some time. Lol
Yes! You can reorg all his ~12 blocks with just one.
