(comment) Splitting Bitcoin Cash yet again would definitely be an option of last resort only. I don't think anyone would like to see it happen, and I think we must really not assume bad faith on any side, b...

(comment) Bitcoin Cash Node reduces the split risk by adhering to uncontroversial consensus rules (the Bitcoin Cash consensus rules). If ABC miners want to split, or if ABC miners want to risk a split, we can...
