With growing support from leading companies such as Coinbase which are running various tests to evaluate the efficiency of Bitcoin Classic and the 2 megabyte Classic chain, it is highly likely that the Classic chain could co-exist with the core chain in the future. If this happens, wallet platforms and exchanges will support both chains and verify the transactions from the Core and Classic chains.
However, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently emphasized that historically, when a split chain occurred, the minority was eliminated in a matter of hours. Armstrong predicts that the same would happen for the Core chain if Classic becomes activated.
Antpool, the largest mining pool, just mined their first #bitcoin classic blockhttps://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000006968c648240001fd7d856f9732646763225b084f72404eb … - classic officially in production
there are dozens of versions of bitcoin software, all of which are in production:
core will reject classic 2mb. classic will accept core 1mb, can and does generate core 1mb block.
at the current pace, anyone tossing out a classic 2mb block will be the minority chain, and will be eliminated in a matter of hours.
i always wonder what kind of checks are in place. if someone tosses out a rogue 2mb block, antpool is kind of screwed.
