can attacker and honest node in double spend ever tie? in bitcoin white paper there are only attacker and honest nodes.
you have p, and q for probabilities.

in double spend attack, in bitcoin whitepaper, can we talk about possible tie of attacker and honest nodes ? is a tie possible and what does it mean if it is possible ? in terms of block chain and blocks ?
Bitcoin consensus is never final, but instead just becomes increasingly stable as more blocks are added.

In the example in the whitepaper a successful attacker will spend some amount of time "tied" but this tie will eventually be resolved by additional blocks. If the additional blocks are on the attacker's fork then it will resolve in the attacker's favor.
