People say that but couldn't packet inspecting routers block BCH transactions? What stops gov from doing that later. Can protocol be hidden? P2p encryption between nodes?
U don't have to use the Internet to talk with Bitcoin nodes
That's true. Interesting. Sneakernet, snail mail, data over HAM radio, autonomous mesh-networks, morse code, phone. For fun & practice, people should send over other media & document.
Furthermore, research needed on how miners across world will interact if govs actively attempt to block BCH traffic. How will TXs & new blocks be transferred? Especially since > 1MB.
