Do i understand this well, and nobody knows for 100% how this work? Not even the topicstarter?
Why would u hold a old version from ethereum? This version was sick, ill, not worth it anymore. That's why the hard fork...
Good luck to this anyway, but remember, 99% from the people move to the new release/fork.
If so, ETH Foundation/devs accomplished it in a very deceitful way. Leveraging the hashpower of the silent
majority of non-voting miners to enforce the fork was incredibly dishonest. Inaction cannot possibly be construed as voting to change the protocol rules and migrating to a new system. Calling this "consensus" is incredibly insulting to everyone involved.
And the pro-fork vote was set to default in geth and other clients. Again, leveraging non-voters to enforce the fork. Disgusting.
I've also seen reports that in the case of one pool, miners voted against the fork, and the pool admins ignored their vote and built on the forked chain. Trying to find more info on that.
To top it off, consensus among exchanges --
not Ethereum users -- is/was being used to squeeze defectors on the minority chain by removing market liquidity from ETHC. There is something very disturbing about centralized exchanges having such influence over the definition of the best blockchain. This is an FUD tactic that forces investors --
quite possibly against their will -- to support the fork strictly out of fear for capital preservation. There are clear incentives to remain on an exchange-supported fork.
Those incentives have absolutely nothing to do with what users want (i.e. user consensus).It was ethermine.org
"According to the voting result
(65% in favor of not supporting the fork) the pool is supposed
not to support the fork. But as all other major pools (e.g. dwarfpool, ethermine, nanopool) are supporting the fork
we can and will not jeopardize any mining income of the pool by mining on a chain that has a very high probability to get orphaned. Therefore, according to our voting policy stated in the announcement,
we will support the hard fork."

"Though support by the miners does seem to swing toward the hard fork, low turnout has opened the door to criticism that the vote wasn’t representative of the entire network. At least one large mining pool said it would only begrudgingly honor the fork.
Pools like Dwarfpool, which possesses about a quarter of the network’s total hashing power, held a vote in which a majority of participants indicated their support. However,
less than 7% of Dwarfpool’s hashrate was accounted for in the vote.
Fourteen percent of Ethermine’s hashrate voted in a similar poll, with a clear majority of those taking part voicing support.
23% of Ethpool’s mining power voted, with a slim majority moving against the hard fork."

"We are as a matter of principle against unduly rushed or controversial hard forks irrespective of the team proposing and we will not run such code on production systems nor mine any block from that hard-fork. I believe this is universal and it could be applied to ethereum, too. I fail to see why we must take such a controversial and risky hard fork.
We are not willing to deploy this hard fork unless we have to."
Where is the consensus?
