We're going to need a bigger heatsink.

Hi I am new here where I can found more info before giving my vote Grin

If the majority of the hashrate, (or the trigger could be 75% of X last block out of the last 1000) use a certain wallet, then it become the main branch, since the majority decided that the current Bitcoin is to be scraped.

However, every user that is using the "old" wallet software will reject any new blocks with "new" rules (like higher blocksize), regardless of the length of the chain. Instead of having a main branch that "wins", you will have two branches that act as completely separate coins.

You don't give a vote, it is not a democracy. You just use the wallet you want to use. In a nutshell;

If the majority of the hashrate, (or the trigger could be 75% of X last block out of the last 1000) use a certain wallet, then it become the main branch, since the majority decided that the current Bitcoin is to be scraped.

However this is hard forking and most people do not like this. I don't.

Since mining to your own Bitcoind is not really a good idea, what you can do is point your miner to a pool that will put that weight toward a different wallet (the one you want) than the current bitcoin core.

Right now there is nothing trendy, so nothing for you to "vote" for. There is not a government here to push an election, hence no executive authority over voting for or against something. So unless something is trendy, there will be nothing to "vote" on.

TLDR: You vote with your hashrate, but there is nothing to vote on at the moment.

Ck or whoever else is admining please excuse me as i didn't know where to put this so i hope here suits...

Why is the voting on what happened to being built in to the Bitcoin Core Wallet.

Voting about what bitcoin does should be put to the core users at least...

We don't want nor need our pools making decisions for us so a vote feature plus a link to an explanation of what we are voting for..

And a cut off date for voting...

Anyone else think this??
