The developer disrupted the BTC test network - Jameson Lopp created more than 165,000 blocks in a week, under normal conditions this would have taken 3 years .

The specialist carried out a so-called “grief attack”, which involves creating a huge number of transactions that increase the network workload and interrupt other operations.

Lopp stated that the main purpose of the attack was to demonstrate the most vulnerable areas of the blockchain , and not to try to disable it.

The video shows an unsuccessful attempt to synchronize a test node, which fails due to the creation of thousands of new blocks.
