“After an attempted attack yesterday, some serious hashing power was unleashed today at 11:46 am and attackers are succeeding,” said Lucas Nuzzi of Coin Metrics, referring to the Bitcoin SV chain.

Bitcoin SV (BSV) has reportedly suffered a “massive” 51% attack beginning around 11:45 am Tuesday, resulting in up to three versions of the chain being mined simultaneously.

Analytics provider Coin Metrics confirmed Tuesday afternoon that its FARUM risk management platform had identified the 51% attack.

This is quite interesting to see how this massive 51% can fully impact BSV and how the team of Craig Wright can be able to withstand it and make things right again. I hate to say that I love this news but we know how many of us don't really have any attachment to the self-proclaimed leader of this platform. Anyway, good luck to BSV.
