Hi, Mark.
We were asked on the bitcoin-documentation mailing list about a month
ago to work on something like this and we're getting close to a pull
request for the Bitcoin.org website. There's a preview here:
http://dg0.dtrt.org/en/mining#lucky-attack
(Remember, it's a preview and still being actively written/edited.)
Discussion about that doc belongs on the bitcoin-documentation mailing
list. Here's the particular thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bitcoin-documentation/PKwBcroWGGg
Thanks,
-Dave
