Question

Wouldn'T you have to DDOS multiple nodes, if not 1/3

of nodes, in order to halt the network? DDOSing a single node by flooding with transactions, at cost, would only halt that one node, but not others. aBFT at work no?

I dont think thats how it works

As long as every pair of honest nodes eventually syncs, and more than 2/3 of the nodes are honest nodes, then it isn’t possible for an attacker to freeze the network for as long as the attack continues.

Just the fact that network can only run at hypothetically 100k tps max, then you can ddos the network, not a node.

He has a point in principle with this right on this, but his math is off ... We debated it this weekend. 100k tps = 86 billion tx per day, so at $0.0001 per tx you could flood the system for $8,600,000 per day.... For certain attacks that might be worth it for a large corporation or government.... But congestion charges would make that kind of attack more expensive... A 10x hike in tx fees would have no impact on normal users buying NFTs and things, and it would be a significant but manageable (possibly reimbursable) cost for a big user like Coupon Bureau,... But $80 million vs $8 million per day would change the strategy of an attacker
