So, I have a question related to Bitcoin and/or Monero.
What protects these chains from attacks like DDoSing?
I know the distributed nature and strong cryptography make it effectively impossible to actually crack the network but with AI bots dominating the web these days, what stops some force (namely state actors) from tying up the network by, say, sending and receiving sats en masse between a huge botnet?
Geeky, albeit genuine, question.
