When blocks are full, anyone will be able to shut it down for an hour for $100,000. It will be slow for many hours after that.  That's your idea of security?

What's 100 grand to stop a six billion dollar network?  You just gave the banksters a kill switch.

Please show us where, among the numerous previous periods of full blocks, the network was 'stopped'.

It never happened.  End of story.

Edit: Also, what does 'shut it down for half an hour' have to do with 'security'?  When, during this fabricated scenario of yours, did people's coins get stolen from their wallets, or people magically have funds appear in their accounts?  Is it a security issue when my bankcard doesn't work at a debit machine because the retailer's internet is out?
