Abstract
In spite of increasing attacks against crypto-currency platforms, involving staggeringly large amounts of money, there has been surprisingly little research into how the blockchain infrastructure at the core of these platforms could be enhanced to improve security. This study examines security weaknesses in public blockchains in an attempt to gain a clearer view of the vulnerabilities.
