No. Users are not forced to accept new versions of SW. Anyone is free to continue using the previously existing version. This nullifies any threat.
Of course, it is likely that nChain is a significant miner, which does lead to some exposure in this regard. But Craig does not hold exclusive chains of power in that organization, and others there are not suicidal. So, somewhat mitigated.
does csw know about this?
he would most likely sue them and take his own devs to court if they ignore his decisions. or split from bsv if they dont listen. just extrapolating this on observed past behavior.
anyway as you say they dont have to follow so it will be intersting as to how long bsv puts up with him.
Seems like the writing is on the wall, CSW becoming a toxic liability and the new BSv directive is to pivot and try to separate BSv from CSW, shills are out in force trying to push this. We should all support CSW in his efforts to sue Ayre for libel. BOSSv (Bitcoin Original Satoshi Super Vision) sounds better too.
Where do you get this tripe?
Great. Yet none of the above supports your claim that "CSW becoming a toxic liability and the new BSv directive is to pivot and try to separate BSv from CSW". Nor that "shills are out in force trying to push this". Why don't we focus on your claim before diverting to an entirely different topic?
Ayre (the person who pretty much owns Faketoshi) is just a single person in BSv world? Right, so now you're going to argue how BSv is decentralized and not ran by one person and his cronies? Silly bear, see if it was anyone else i could've written this off to ignorance, but your depth of knowledge on this subject rules that out, which makes me think that there's something more sinister at play here.
Ayre, Wright, Ver, & co. What a nice bunch to be associated with... This goes for the BSV supporters.
