Same as HUSH, they are not susceptible to 51% attacks

This request is destructive to all dPOW enabled coins, which obviously should be on the list - just above BTC.

If BTC is there all coins should be there unless you do not consider Arrr is crypto?

It should be just above BTC and same for others dPOW enabled coins. Realistic attack cost is hard to calculate, but you do not need to calculate it - just estimate, and estimation is surely above BTC attack price.

The minimum is sum of [price to reorg BTC] + [dPOW enabled coins] , which is > BTC reorg price obviously!

Only mark with * that the cost for dPOW is cost when attacker tries reorg after dPOW confirmation (on avg 10 minutes). Reorg before 10 min is cheap, after - expensive more then BTC.

But the key here is you verify tx after confirmation and then you are good and if someone reorged tx before 1 dPOW confirmation then simply sender gets it back and need to send again. As simple as that.
