The markets have to decide. We can end up with 2 splitted chains with 2 different values, ABC will be the most valuable according to futures, so CSW will try to devalue it with attacks
Txs replay, blacklisting UTXOs with CDS, threatening miners with jail, etc to bring fear to the market. That's if the chain split last for long enough.
No, but I guess Bitmain and others will point lots of their hashpower just at the fork time (fuck BTC). If BSV wins, the community against it will fork away, even with another PoW algo
It's so weird they just have to move hashpower just for the battle. The battle is not designed to work that way I think And with another algo it'd be easily attacked coz not asic on it
Pointing hashpower to ABC chain guarantees CSW can't do a 51% attack (anyway, this requires lots of hashpower + mining your own chain). And brings safety to the market.
PoW algo change makes SHA256 ASICs useless. A bad actor has to hire hashpower, not just pointing out miners to other chain for attack. Komodo dPoW can help here.
