(Administrating a decentralized system?) And what would prevent an attacker from setting the difficulty very low or very high to interfere with the system?<br/></div>My understanding is that every Bitcoin client has the same algorithm (formula) built into it to automatically adjust the difficulty every so many blocks. Not only that, but I think that Bitcoin will not accept blocks generated at a different difficulty, so if a modified Bitcoin client tried to send out more easily generated blocks, all the authentic clients would reject the fake blocks.</div> text/html
