Open in Web Editor NEWThis study investigates the architecture of the popular cryptocurrency platform, Bitcoin, and the underlying protocols that allow for Feather Forking attacks to occur - namely, Proof-of-Work (POW), Peer-to-Peer communication (P2P), and miner strategy. We also propose that the Blindly Signed Contracts anonymity protocol can be used as a countermeasure for such attacks while also providing greater privacy.
