[CVE-2018-17144]

> This article is wrong and plain ol' fearmongering. A coordinated denial of service on network nodes is theoretical at best, as it would require a series of further, orchestrated actions on the rest of the blocks to achieve it.

This requires no action other than pushing a specific binary to an unpatched node in order for it to crash.

The cost of producing the binary is one time, approximately $80k USD depending on luck.

[HashBasher]

Wouldn't the cost be significantly higher than $80k since the miner would have to keep his machines on for quite some time at a loss in order to mine a full block?
