Completing the attack would cost more than a million dollars, and is relevant mainly only in situations where an autonomous system relies solely on an SPV proof for transactions of a greater dollar amount."

Completar el ataque costar\u00eda m\u00e1s de un mill\u00f3n de d\u00f3lares, y es relevante principalmente solo en situaciones donde un sistema aut\u00f3nomo se basa \u00fanicamente en una prueba SPV para transacciones de un monto mayor en d\u00f3lares."
