Attack Type
PoW Attack
Mining Device:
A % PoW attack would need 0.0147 Ph/s. PoW attack requires adding 0.0147 Ph/s to the existing 0.0147 Ph/s network hashrate.
New network hashrate will be 0.0294 Ph/s.
In order to acquire a 0.0147 Ph/s hashrate, it would take 1 ALPH Miner AL1 at a cost of $41,800 USD to buy it.
Electricity consumed by 1 ALPH Miner AL1 in 1 hour is 3.51 kWh.
Cost of 1 hour electricity consumption for 1 ALPH Miner AL1 is $0.35 USD.
To carry out the attack, additional costs for facilities and cooling are estimated at % of the cost of the miner.
The additional facility cost is $2,090.02 USD.
Total PoW attack cost: $43,890.37 USD.
PoS Attack
Current total staked is 9,705,289 DCR.
An internal % PoS attack would need 0 tickets.
0 DCR is needed for the attack (9,705,289 DCR * 50%).
Total PoS attack cost: $110,481,859 USD (9,705,289.38 DCR * $11.38 USD/DCR).
Current total staked is 9,705,289 DCR.
An external % PoS attack would add 9,705,289.38 DCR to the total staked.
New total staked will be 19,410,578.76 DCR.
The projected ticket price is 476.75 DCR (A 103.91% increase).
Total PoS attack cost: $110,481,859 USD (9,705,289.38 DCR * $11.38 USD/DCR).
Total attack cost: $110,525,749.2 USD
