This is somewhat ironic because the developer of KGW claimed to have designed it to deal with this very problem.  Our experience lends support that it can not only be exploited but that it can actually be leveraged as a Denial of Service attack vector for thinly supported chains. The reader can watch the blockchain on its official explorer at https:\/\/www.blockexperts.com to see evidence of the \u201cfits and spurts\u201d the chain suffers from in terms of the cadence between blocks.<br \/>[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/2give.info\/\" target='_blank\"' rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 2GIVE Website<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1ytrq66dNvYJ0Za9ty6hLpL3ddJ8D_PkBMa4pBJxKhW4\/edit\" target='_blank\"' rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 2GIVE Whitepaper <\/a> <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract In 2015, the Minnesota nonprofit organization Strength in Numbers Foundation (SNF) agreed to take over maintenance of the Givecoin blockchain (GIVE).
