The other miners will not be aware that this malicious miner has find the correct hash(win) since he has not propagate it, so they will still try to find the correct hash and some second later one of them will find it correct and propagate it, then cycle will repeat again without anyone knowing that this malicious miner has win second before the one that has ...

We say this because the history of transactions (the blockchain) is secured by mining power, and mining success is a probabilistic. Given a certain amount of hashpower, we expect that we'll find a block within some certain amount of time - but it is possible to find the ...

The DAO hack exploited a badly coded smart contract.
The smart contract runs on top of Ethereum, so there are two layers involved here: the Ethereum blockchain and virtual machine (EVM) and the smart contracts which run on the EVM.
Neither the EVM or the Ethereum blockchain were exploited. ...

Segwit does not use a different signature algorithm nor does it change any of the properties of a ECDSA signature. Thus if you find transactions that involve the same public keys and the same R value, then yes, the private key for that public key is revealed.
However, what you are looking at is not the R value. In fact, you are not even looking at the ...
