I know, it probably comes from bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/660/132, but the author of this answer (which surprisingly has a positive score) don't understand what he say and recognize it himself in the comments. Please replace your second paragraph by “With 51% of the network hash power, it is really easy to reverse transactions.” | |
