(comment) Right-wing politicians in western Europe sometimes refer to Orban as a shining example of nationalism. This article shatters that impression, in a way that is digestible regardless of political pref...

(comment) At least the miners decided this (ZULUPooL, Mining-Dutch, ViaBTC). I don't understand why, it seems like a stupid decision. The community then went along with the decision.

(comment) The article conflates the notions of "(hard) fork" and "split". Specifically, IFP activation is a soft fork - intentionally designed this way to exploit the coercive nature of soft forks. The ABC te...

(comment) Bitcash is a pretty good name suggestion, "backward-compatible" with the traditional bit unit but simultaneously differentiating from a bit on BTC. Also bitcash is less confusing than bit w.r.t. the...

(comment) If the coin does not exist, there is nothing to keep. An exchange can't steal something that does not exist. Also generally you don't trade with the exchange, you trade with another user of the exch...

(comment) A lot of BSV transactions are merely intended to store data in the blockchain (in OP_RETURN outputs). See for example this report .

(comment) ABC's governance plan looks like a copy of Zcash without any significant innovation. Hence I see no point in executing this experiment.

(comment) I think adding replay protection sets a dangerous precedent that threatening a 51% is enough to change consensus rules in a way that interrupts the entire Bitcoin Cash economy. Additionally, the fea...

(comment) bchn nodes will not accept ABC blocks any more. This is technically incorrect. Jonathan Toomim is right. To ensure a clean split, it would be advisable to first mine 10 BCHN blocks (which ar...

(comment) Rick Falkvinge's Letter from the CEO was not that bad. Things went wrong because someone started to act like the non-ironic actual CEO of Bitcoin Cash.

(comment) I see little reason for a split. ABC is still welcome to sign the statement too and stay on the Bitcoin Cash network with everybody else.

(comment) The thing is that this DAA is also correcting the coin emission drift which hasn't been the case in past DAA updates. The parties aren't disagreeing on whether or not to correct drift but on what...
