A collection of coins and theoretical cost of a 51% attack on each network

This is why coins like Ethereum Classic needs like 50k confirmations which is a 1-2 week waiting period for deposits, since blocks take like 15 seconds to mine and a 51% attack on the ETC network is relatively affordable compared to BTC/ETH, so fake chains sprout up very often and many transactions would be reversed

Just goes to show the fatal flaw of POW for anything except Bitcoin and Ethereum. Interestingly, it costs more to 51% attack Eth at the moment.
