@quickseller, good idea (blazed) -- i will get around to that.
You can try that, yes. A certain someone tried it a lot of times, but ultimately it does not work.
more important things are going on today
Do you, by any chance, mean the planned attack by BITMAIN? I've just neg. rated them.
a fork is an attack is Bitmain is doing it, but its not if its led by puke junior.
right?
Luke Jr is a developer, not a miner.
I fail to see why
anyone should support a single private company creating a new chain. If they want to "ignore short-term economic incentives" to mine on their new chain, they
will end up with >51% hashrate and the chain will be susceptible to 51% attacks from BITMAIN. This is blindingly obvious, because most pools will not ignore economic incentives.
Community has been asking for big blocks for years
I question this. I don't think there's strong enough evidence to prove that the community supports one side or another (feel free to try and prove me wrong - the only resources I have so far are F2Pool and ViaBTC's polls). There
was a lot of questioning about the "temporary" 1MB limit several years ago, but I don't know if this holds true today.
and how bitcon was always supposed to scale back to the original whitepaper. Honesty requires accounting for that context and not making it sound like a 'private company is just creating a new chain'.
I think honesty requires accounting for whether this is genuinely a community movement or a private company's power grab. The origin of UAHF is BITMAIN's blog post - is that really not a problem to you?
Other pools already signaling for big blocks will undoubtedly mine the big block chain.
By this logic, all pools signalling for SegWit will mine the UASF chain, and I doubt this will happen. Even if they did, BITMAIN would have a disturbing amount of hashrate on the new chain.
And for neutrality's sake:
You can keep trying to spread misinformation but that won't change the fact that Jihancoin is the altcoin.
I think this is pretty childish sentiment. A chain split is not an altcoin, and that doesn't matter whether it's UASF, UAHF or just a hard fork. The majority chain is Bitcoin, and the rest are "forks of Bitcoin", nothing more.
