[en] Many attacks presented on Bitcoin are facilitated
by its real world implementation, which is rather centralized.
In addition, communications between Bitcoin nodes are not
encrypted, which can be explored by an attacker to launch
attacks. In this paper, we give a brief overview of possible routing
attacks on Bitcoin. As future work, we will identify possible
central points in the Bitcoin network, evaluate potential attacks
on it, and propose solutions to mitigate the identified issues.
