To complete a fraudulent transaction, or a 51% attack on the #bitcoin network you would need to have more than 50% of the hashing power of the entire Bitcoin network right?
The fact that the Bitcoin network is Decentralized on a global scale can prevent this.
But how do people that run their own node know that their node isn’t “compromised” in a way?
Is that a dumb question?
