If I were you I would quit right now and either rush to grab a 6th grade book on Physics or change that whole topic to visit Sri Lanka and witness a rock like a thousand others in the world. Oh wait, even better, why not build a Pyramid like the one in Giza at the North Magnetic Pole and fit it with mining gear, free electricity, and free cooling!
Now, why are paying 8cents per kWh in Sri Lanka if you have this magical rock? I would have expected it to be full of drilled sockets by now.


Whatever you do next, don't put a Geiger counter next to a banana, or you're going to bring forth the fall of the Banana Industry just as you're destroying bitcoin now with your revelations.


Sorry for your coins not reaching ATH like bitcoin but the energy problem in Pow pales in comparison to the monopolies that can rise with PoS


I don't think it even glows or they would have already smashed it to pieces and used it as lamps.

I think it is safe to assume that you are some kid who has just come across a bunch of spoofy bullshit on youtube and has also found interest in crypto. Internet can be crazy that way now that you don't have to go to a library or a laboratory to test what people are telling you. All you need is a video, some more videos about Tesla and other geniuses. Bet you love the Ted Talks, right?

First things first, Welcome to the forum.

Second thing; when Sci-Fi talks about an unlimited source of energy to power a super advanced civilization, it only means that the civilization has found a way to harness nearly unlimited energy. Say, from cold fusion, a Dyson sphere or in your case, unlimited energy with a throughput of multiple Gigawatts derived from a stone. (I'll not go into the details of how much continuous throughput you will actually need for a power source to match Bitcoin's hashing power). The point is that even an "unlimited source" of energy is not free. So your hypothetical 51% attacker will still have to buy all those resources.

You see, no blockchain is infallible. Its only the "cost" of an attack that determines its security. Why do you think all of those 1000 chains did not see people putting in billions of dollars? Because people with wealth are not stupid. The steps to attack a PoW chain will include raising capital, buying insane amount of miners, connecting to the network without anyone noticing (a 50% surge), paying for all that energy and then finding a time to attack.

And then, Attack what?? Crack open the 1 Million Satoshi vault?? Not possible. All you can do is a re-org and a double spend. You need to find yourself a "buyer" stupid enough to buy billions of worth of BTC and not look into the state of chain at that time.

For PoS, all you need is to buy enough of the crypto so that you are the biggest staker. That is ALL you need to attack a PoS chain. Happens all the time with smaller chains.

Now stop watching silly Youtube videos or you will end up thinking that Earth is flat. We have those loonies in our forum too. Even they don't believe that PoS is better than PoW for the foundational money of crypto.

If you have unlimited free energy, you don’t have to have 1 million ASICs to launch a 51% attack. You would only need one giant ASIC. Yes. It will be expensive. But, the return on investment is much higher. ~

Watched it. I have a counter argument. He said “ we kick those bastards off the network, rework the protocol around them”

Then the attacker will simply join the forked blockchain again and continue to double spend again. The amount of power needed will also be a lot less this time. How are you going to rework the protocol around them? You can’t.

There is no threat to Bitcoin, everything is fine. This will not happen in the coming years.

If someone discovers a free, unlimited energy source, launching a 51% attack would be just a matter of seconds. And that is exactly what has happened.

There is a sacred rock located in Ranmasu Uyana, Sri Lanka. You can check here:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranmasu_Uyana

This rock is said to have the oldest carving in the world. Older than the pyramids. What is interesting about this rock is that it emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy. This place is referred to as a Stargate.

You can use an EMF detector and check the electromotive force emitted by this rock. An EMF detector is used to measure the electrical action produced by a non-electrical source.

EMF detector will show even very small changes in energies. And if you take an EMF detector and measure the electromotive force produced by this rock, you can see that the EMF meter's needle immediately goes all the way to the other side, which means, there is very high energy emitted from this rock. Potentially unlimited and free energy. You can check the video here: https://youtu.be/B-W-nQOQdq8

This rock is guarded by a fence to protect people from the energy it emits. EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux. Potentially unlimited. A Stargate in simplest terms is a gate to the stars. And there is an infinite number of stars in the ever expanding universe. This rock (star gate) emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy.

With the right resources, anyone can easily utilize this unlimited energy to launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network. The cost of launching such attack would be incredibly low. The energy emitted from this rock can be easily converted to electrical energy with the right resources.

Discovering an unlimited energy source is a breakthrough. A breakthrough like that would have a lot of ramifications; not only to Bitcoin network but also to every human being on planet earth. But, my focus is only on Bitcoin.

If anyone properly utilizes unlimited, free energy, he/she can easily launch a 51% attack on all PoW coins with very little cost.

This sacred rock is just one way of tapping into unlimited energy. There are so many other inventions and discoveries that can generate unlimited energy for very little cost and resources. All these discoveries are hidden from the public by the powers that be. And this is the biggest threat to Bitcoin and other PoW coins.

The Solution

PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.

If there is only one known flaw in the bitcoin code, that will be THE flaw that will be exploited one day. It will always be prone to exploitation. Bitcoin’s final block is estimated to be mined in around 2140. Do you really think someone is not going to come up with a brilliant invention that can harness unlimited energy for very low cost? Even if someone finds a way to harness unlimited energy in the year 3000, it is still a problem for bitcoin. Remember, longest chain always wins.

All of these are hypothesis. We can't ignore any dire circumstances but we can't move forward if we keep on focusing on them.
It's more likely for the world to end than for a single person or company to find a cheap unlimited energy and exploit it to do a 51% attack on bitcoin. If anyone do find that, they'd rather sell it than to dedicate their research on destroying bitcoin.~
