That topic was locked, So had to reply in a new one. BTW I am serious here in case you think I am joking.

I like my fork for I don't agree with some of the updates in the client. Especially the ones which broke compatibility and forked the chain. I will keep mining there and I will consider it the main Terracoin. Enjoy the fork as your main. I respectfully disagree and entitled to my own opinions and where I mine and transact my TRC.

I also promote and urge other users of Terracoin to stick to the older client and the older (true) main chain. The client development can be forked to an iteratively updated version that do not break compatibility with the main chain causing a fork, As it should not in first place.

Thank you for understanding and respecting my opinions.


Cool.  I support you.  In fact, I had something of the same feeling when all the updates came out, but I felt that my best way forward was to stick with what the developers did.

There is really something to be said for the idea that the rules should not change substantially after the chain is launched.  Most of us felt that either the rules had to change to maintain viability, or felt that we had to go along with everybody else in order to maintain viability.  But I did feel, in a way, that it was the end of Terracoin and the start of something new.

It's a little bit like when the original thirteen American colonies adopted the "perpetual" articles of confederation and then, a scant decade later, all thirteen-member states unanimously abandoned those articles and adopted a new constitution.  In a sense, the original "USA" died at that event, and a new institution with the same name was born.  You're Rhode Island, the last holdout!

So: more power to you.  Will you be putting up a block explorer for the original chain?

How about considering the minority with the insane hashrate not wanting their minted TRC to be worthless since they are all on a fork? Does the updates bring anything but a fork?  Then why should we move to a version when we mined and traded just fine on the main chain?

Because coins that can't be exchanged are worthless. Unless you have an exchange or shops you are interested in on your chain your coins are worthless.

Would not any blocks he mines be rejected by the network as >51% of miners are on the new TRC version?

When the developers release a mandatory update, doesn't that by definition mean people who update will remain with the main chain and people who refuse to update are the ones on a forked chain that is no longer valid?

There's no way to be successful in something like this, when any new users going to the Terracoin web site will install a client incompatible with you. There's also the issue that you can't buy/sell/trade coins on the exchanges.
