The big issue is the fork and fixing it represents a decision about who has and hasn't gotten paid so the fork is quite sticky for those who's transactions do not appear on the post attack branch to want to stick the the attacked branch. This was relatively easy when they did it in the early days of ETH after the DAO hack but AFAIK there's no on chain mechanism for a similar hard fork to happen to BTC. Even in ETH I'd be surprised if a similar response happened to a similar level of attack, voting power on EIPs was significantly more concentrated back in 2016. Any way you slice it there's still a centralization of power of when to activate any of these defense mechanisms. |
