It amazes me that almost nobody cares about what was said by this member!
Les seems unimportant? Just one more comment?
Is there any truth to this? Exists great risk of this type?
There is a potential due to the current popularity of HashStrike. People do care, there's been post after post trying to get people to move away from it for a while, but it's not worked.
It's not too likely to happen but the potential is increased. In 5 days time when PoS kicks in this risk is reduced even further.
The bigger problem IMO with one or two pools having the majority of the hashpower is that it sucks more people into them exasperating the issue.
We have a problem that the percentage of people who understand how Crytpo's work is far too low, many treat it all like a well established and mature technology, a consumer item perhaps and believe that everything's fine, there'll be no problems, they don't have to research anything or understand it. Someone else will solve any problems.
We're early adopters of this technology and it's our responsibility to understand, maintain and improve it!
Don't quite know how I ended up on that tangent there, seem to be in a ranty mood, sorry
OK, thanks for answering me.
Although still i am very worried about the possibility of forked chain, and of lose all my ZEIT!
And also it is striking so long time by the explorer block
Uh, you won't lose your coins though. At least, hardly any.
The coins that already exist before a fork will remain, they don't just disappear, it's not like a new chain is created from scratch.
As I said, please do some research on this, you're contributing to FUD with these statements as folks read it and it contributes to that side of people's thinking.
Here's a good video worth watching, from memory it does cover forking (through an intentional attack) and will give you some great information;

And a channel that's well worth subbing to, the guy's great at explaining things so us non math/programmers can understand this new technology.
