Given that there is large incentive to hack BCH protocol & steal funds and the fact that it hasn’t been done can be taken as proof the protocol works.
It might be counterproductive though. You hack it, steal a bunch, it crashes from the news, now what you stole is not worth much.
true, incentive is not equal to the market cap but is still many millions (10s of millions?) before people catch on. how many people check their crypto holdings (actual wallets) daily?
True. I would probably skip 5% off each wallet, assuming I could crack all the wallets. Maybe less. Might be awhile before it's noticed or figured out.
certainly, depends on what the attack/vulnerability is. & of course there have been times where trust is misplaced in untested wallets or other software & crypto were stolen.
